This comprehensive guide to navigating the Puerto Vallarta Airport has been tested and approved by many of Hola Teddy’s best friends! Continue reading to learn how to complete a customs form, tips for avoiding a timeshare sales pitch, and zip through to the taxi stand.
The only remotely stressful part of traveling to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is navigating the airport. During the first few months we lived in Puerto Vallarta, we had nine friends come visit. (How great is that?! No one ever came to visit us when we lived in Durant, Oklahoma, haha!) Because we want everyone to love Puerto Vallarta as much as we do, I put together this thorough Guide to Navigating the Puerto Vallarta Airport. I hope it helps you when you arrive in paradise!
On the plane, you will receive a Customs Declaration Form. Make sure you bring a pen so you can fill it out on the plane. Note: sometimes the flight attendants run out of these. If that happens, don’t worry, there will be someone handing them out inside the airport.
NOTE: If you traveled to Puerto Vallarta prior to July 28, 2022, you might remember completing two forms. One of those forms, referred to as an FMM, has been eliminated. When a tourist enters Mexico, the agent will stamp your passport. Inside the stamped area, the agent will write the number of days you are allowed to stay in the country.
Note: Mexico uses day/month/year format
If you read this guide closely, you will have no problems navigating the Puerto Vallarta Airport. It is a modern and super clean airport that is a cinch to navigate. Come prepared, and you will be in and out in no time! Now, where is that fruity drink with an umbrella?
