After almost a year, I’ve finally done another flight to Puerto Vallarta, a popular vacation destination this time of year in Mexico. For its part, Delta serves the resort city from 6 destinations, 4 year-round (Atlanta, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Seattle) and 2 seasonally (Detroit and Minneapolis). Today’s flight is from Delta’s home base and Latin American hub at Atlanta.
