Loving summertime in Vancouver?
While Vancouverites don Chesire Cat-sized grins during the city's sunny season, many of them begrudge the seemingly endless rain that follows it.
The federal government still advises against all non-essential travel outside of Canada, but the Great White North may see international advisories lifted before the end of the year.
If you're looking for a ticket to paradise on the cheap, Swoop, WestJet's discount carrier, offers several inexpensive flights and vacation packages to Mexico from the Lower Mainland.
Starting in November, the airline will offer bi-weekly departures to Puerto Vallarta direct from Abbotsford starting at $240 CAD including taxes and fees.
For example, a flight departing Abbotsford International Airport (YXX) on Wednesday (Nov. 3) at 2:10 p.m. and arriving in Puerto Vallarta at 7:55 p.m. costs $240.01 CAD all in.

World-famous tequila, delectable Mexican cuisine, beautiful beaches, and beaming sunshine are just a few of the reasons why people visit Puerto Vallarta. And, while it can be fun just to kick and back and relax at a resort, this beautiful city is a great place to stay in. What’s more, there are a number of ancient ruins nearby that are fascinating to explore.
Note: While the low-cost carrier is an extremely affordable alternative, it is worthwhile to note that there are a number of additional costs. For one, luggage will cost extra, as will selecting your own seat or even speaking to an operator. As such, it is worthwhile to factor in what you need to bring, or if you want to sit in a particular spot.
