A NOTE ON FLYING

Currently Alaska is the only airline that flies nonstop from LAX to ZIH which does limit flights. We recommend checking out Mexico City on your way to or from Zihua since it's only a 1 hr flight away and has more flight options. Just for reference, some people may be flying in as early as Tuesday.
