Nonstop Flights to Bays of Huatulco

Mexicana Airlines has begun nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Huatulco, a growing Pacific Coast resort destination 300 miles south of Acapulco.

Huatulco is a sprawling development in the state of Oaxaca, consisting of nine bays and 34 beaches stretching along 22 miles of coastline. The resort is about 15% completed. Most of the development is centered on three of the bays, with about 2,000 hotel rooms spread among 15 hotels. The Mexican government’s master plan envisions more than 25,000 hotel rooms and 2 million annual visitors by 2018.

Mexicana’s nonstop flights depart Los Angeles International Airport each Wednesday at 8 a.m., arriving at Huatulco at 2 p.m. Return flights leave the resort at 3:30 p.m. each Tuesday, arriving at LAX at 5:25 p.m. Round-trip fare is $399. Reservations: (800) 531-7921.
