Fantastic news for every lover of sun, sand, and the vibrant culture of Puerto Vallarta! Our beautiful destination continues to strengthen its ties with North America, confirming its status as a top spot for U.S. airlines looking to expand. This time, the exciting update comes from the East Coast, courtesy of Frontier Airlines, with the addition of a key route that promises to bring travelers even closer to the stunning beauty of Banderas Bay.

Frontier Airlines has rolled out an ambitious expansion plan, announcing 22 new routes connecting various locations across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean. And yes, Puerto Vallarta is a central piece of this exciting growth!

Direct connection from the heart of Georgia

The brand-new direct flight will link Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) —one of the largest and most important hubs in the United States— with Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport in Puerto Vallarta (PVR). The inaugural flight is scheduled perfectly for the winter holiday season, with operations set to begin on December 20^th of this year.

This launch is a superb option, especially for travelers departing from the Southeastern U.S., as Atlanta serves as a crucial gateway with countless connecting flights.

More seats, more chances to escape

The Atlanta-Puerto Vallarta service will run once a week, utilizing a modern Airbus A321 aircraft with a capacity for 240 passengers.

What does this mean for the destination? It signals a significant boost in seat availability from the U.S. This new flight adds 960 extra seats per month, which not only simplifies travel logistics but also supports the local tourism economy.

Frontier Airlines already connected Vallarta via flights from Dallas and Denver, and by adding Atlanta, the carrier solidifies its commitment to the region. It’s all about giving you more choices to enjoy the iconic beaches, exquisite gastronomy, and picturesque Malecón that define this Mexican gem.

Start planning your getaway now!

Frontier’s announcement couldn’t come at a better time, just as many of us start plotting our winter vacations and holiday escapes. If you live in Atlanta or have a connecting flight there, you now have a more direct and often more affordable way to reach one of the Mexican Pacific’s most attractive beach destinations.

Get your bags ready, book your seat on Frontier’s new flight, and prepare for an unforgettable experience!
