In order not to stop in the U.S. on the way to Canada, I've heard it's possible to fly to Cancun from Guadalajara and then to Toronto. Does anyone have experience with this? I'd appreciate any information you may have regarding airlines that might have this service.

Air Canada flies direct to Toronto from Mexico City.

I would check the charter companies that operate out of To, but I suspect they require a round trip ticket. I have only heard of people doing it through Mexico City.

For a cheap flight to Cancun, check VivaAerobus, Interjet and Volaris. At least two of them flight it, if not all three.

I have no experience but I just checked and, in addition to Air Canada which is always expensive, you can fly WestJet. They also fly to Hamilton from Cancun. I'm delighted to discover all this myself!

Yes, I've taken that flight but it is usually quite expensive.

I would be purchasing a round-trip ticket. I'll contact charter companies to see if this is feasible.

Thanks for this information, although I would then have to get from Hamilton to Toronto adding another flight. I'll see if WestJet flies from Cancun to Toronto - that would be the ideal answer for me.

Sounds perfect. I'll check them out.

i heard of someone doing this, spending the night in Cancun, then flying non-stop to Canada.

[Go Solar]

Pretty sure you can do the same via PV; once in PV (via luxury coach or a short flight from Guad) Westjet goes from there to Toronto both non-stop and via transfers in western Canada.

[johanson]

Yes Go Solar. I know that was possible several years ago to both Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC. I hope it still is. But I haven't checked for a couple of years

If you do go to Cancun, look at Magnicharter. I flew them twice before. The price was the cheapest, and the planes looked brand new.

I flew from Guad to Puerto Vallarta very cheaply on a national airline and flew Westjet to Toronto - only on Fridays, other days there's an additional stopover in Calgary. It has been a long time since I've had such a comfortable and quick trip - Westjet is great - 25 minutes to PV, 4 hours to Toronto and little wait time. It's a shorter cheaper route than Cancun.

They processed the paperwork/stamps/migracion stuff at the Guadalajara airport, but we were told it really should be done in PV.

One caveat: you can take 2 suitcases on Westjet but on the national airlines only 1, going and returning. I hope Westjet seeks permission to fly out of the Guadalajara airport soon.

I flew with Air Canada from Toronto to Mexico City than Guadalajara.

[BillClarke]

I did a non-stop Toronto to PV in March, round trip for just under CDN $500 - had to buy return though and only available on Fridays.

[mountainview]

Who did you use, charter or airline? I would like to get some detailed info for next Oct. Last time I had looked it was a very late evening departure from PV.

[BillClarke]

I used Sunwing - charter company.
