I know this an old topic....just looking for some new information.
Are there any flights from anywhere that are direct to RP?
I was only able to find this 9 passenger charter called WestWind in Scottsdale for $4500.
$500 a seat (if you could get 8 other people to split it with you).
Not even sure if that was round trip.

I think they were the ones that were going to do the scheduled flights. Maybe it didn't work out?
tequilatodd
Guess not. Their website had an initial price of $350 round trip. When I called and she said $4500 for the charter.... I about $H!t myself.
I thought someone had mentioned a flight out of Vegas.

That's not bad for a round trip charter. I wonder how long the pilot would stay, or if they fly back until you're ready to go. Would be cool bachelor party, golf weekend, etc

back to this subject.
I have a friend that is in the military and he wants to got to RP. So they tell him he can't cross on land. (no idea why)
But if he can get a flight in, then its all good. So what flights can he get?

Our daughter is in the navy and is the same thing..most of mexico is off limits to active service men due to them being employed by the govt and the safety of govt travel in mexico due to violence. I think cabo and cozumel are the only ports they are allowed off cruise ships. They are not allowed land travel in mexico. She almost wasnt able to go to canada due to the shooting on parliment hill. So applies to not just mexico.

He's in the Air Force. So in theory, if PP had military transports flying in a out, then maybe he could hitch a ride.
US (or whomever) needs to get this air travel into PP figured out so all the cruise ship passengers can get there without having to drive.

Looks like they're shooting for next year. That "airline" has been proposing this for years. As always with these flights, I've got to see it to believe it.

So, they're going to start with prop planes to San Diego and Rocky Point, then buy a 747 and fly to Asia? That's quite the leap.

This is the future of homeport to get americans down to penasco. The jetty is perfect for this.

Interesting. Not sure why they chose to re-launch Penasco stops in the middle of summer. Hope they can stay with it until the usual resurge of seasonal visitors in October . . . .

This is the high season. The summer months have the most occupancy, almost all Mexican nationals who will use these flights from Mexican cities. Ask anyone who lives full time in a Sandy Beach condo how hard it is to find a parking space in the summer.

The Mayan was packed 3 weeks ago w/ both Nationals and people from the US

Well so much for that problem . . . Hope this flight path sticks . . .

I was down in June but it wasn't very busy at Bella but it never is. Stayed with friends at Princessa and the parking lot was full but you still could get chairs at the pool. A lot of people on the beach all over Sandy Beach. My unit at Bella has been booked solid from Memorial Weekend. I know a few people that have wanted to sell their condos for awhile have finally sold them. It looks like things are starting to get back to normal. You think about when we bought our first places at Sandy Beach over 15 years ago. Some of us are getting old.

Things are picking up, a beach front LOT just sold for $227,400.00 in Playa Encanto..
MIRAMAR
Wow, there are lots for sale in Playa Miramar on the beach starting at $130k
