Travel: Flights to Puerto Vallarta from Manchester (man)

Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (Airport code: PVR) is located just to the North of Puerto Vallarta proper, and just south of Nuevo Vallarta. Most major US airlines serve the airport along with Aeromexico. It has been recently remodeled, though waits can still occur when more than two flights have landed. Note that the arrival area is plagued by timeshare hucksters. They will offer to arrange a cab for you and try to rope you into a timeshare sales presentation. After you clear customs, walk quickly through the next room - the one housing the hucksters - continue walking past the rope-line. Now look for the official taxi kiosk out in the main airport atrium. You purchase your taxi trip here. All other offers of cab rides you will recieve between customs and the kiosk will be from timeshare hucksters. Ignore every one of them. I can't emphasize this enough. The bad experience of those taken in can ruin one's first hours in PVR, and that would be a shame. If you've packed lightly you can take the city buses into town. Continue straight ahead as you exit the arrivals area and exit the doors in front of you. The bus stop is to your left, under the pedestrian overpass. Wait for a bus marked Centro (but NOT marked Pitillal or Bobadilla), wave it down, pay your five pesos, and enjoy the ride. You've just saved $20. You don't need exact change for he bus. Drivers will make change. But you will need some small change. Drivers won't break large bills.
