From the “Build It and They Will Come” file there's this. Mexico's new Riviera Nayarit is attracting a slew of West Coast travelers and the best way to get there is via Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). The airfield is about a 15-minute ride away. To that end, Mexicana intends to launch a quartet of weekly nonstops between Puerto Vallarta and San Francisco come December 3.
This will make for a pair of carriers on the route. Alaska Airlines already offers nonstop San Francisco-Puerto Vallarta flights.
Mexicana's new nonstops will operate four times per week - Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in each direction.

Getting around in Puerto Vallarta
From the Airport - The airport is quite close to Puerto Vallarta on the north side, and the ground transportation is available to take you into town and your luxury villa rental. You can buy tickets at the airport terminal.
Taxis - Puerto Vallarta's taxis are not metered, so agree your price before you get in. Hotels often post taxi rates on a board, and depending on how far you're going to travel (defined by zones), the price will vary. If you speak Spanish, you will have a distinct advantage and be able to negotiate a better price! Another good reason to Learn Spanish
Rent a Car - If you are being picked up at Puerto Vallarta's airport to get taken to your resort or rental accommodation, then you may want to consider renting a car to explore the local environment. Note that parking is not that easy in Puerto Vallarta (but is possible) in town.
There are some stunning areas just north and south of Puerto Vallarta that can be explored along the coast roads, and renting a car locally is ideal and effective way to experience them.
Highway 200 is a beautiful coast road which hugs the edge of the land facing the Pacific Ocean. If you plan to explore the Costa Alegre as part of your visit to the region, a rental car will be essential, unless you plan to simply stay-put at one of our villa rentals.
