How to get the best deal on a San Jose — Puerto Vallarta ticket

  • Book tickets with Alaska Airlines or American Airlines at least 6–8 weeks before departure, as seats fill up quickly due to the low frequency of flights (only 2 per week).
  • Use the low-price calendar on the page to compare departures on different days of the week: the price difference between nearby dates can be more than AED 236.
  • Consider connecting flights if the price of a direct flight exceeds your budget; often, layovers in the USA allow you to find more flexible fares.
  • Monitor the price dynamics chart to catch the moment when the ticket cost drops below AED 803.
  • Pay attention to baggage allowances when choosing a fare, as for international flights between the USA and Mexico, the fee for a suitcase at the airport can be higher than when booking online.
