Comox Valley Airport welcomes additional non-stop service on WestJet to Puerto Vallarta!
Comox Valley Airport is pleased to announce a robust Fall schedule highlighting twice weekly non-stop service to Puerto Vallarta. Commencing Saturday November 4th, non-stop flights will depart every Saturday and Tuesday, with returning flights on Friday and Mondays - doubling the direct service to sunny Mexico."The strong demand for service to Puerto Vallarta last season prompted WestJet to increase the non-stop offerings on this popular route, demonstrating WestJet's on-going commitment to Vancouver Islanders for flying out of YQQ. As the only non-stop sun destination available north of the Malahat, we look forward to seeing travellers from central and northern Vancouver Island to taking advantage of the direct flights." said Airport CEO Mike Atkins. "While there are daily connecting flights to almost anywhere in the World, when you are just looking for a sunny break, it is nice to avoid the busy hubs, particularly over the holidays."
