Southwest Airlines has announced new international routes to three Mexican vacation hotspots from Los Angeles.
Flights to Cancun, San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta will begin on December 4, subject to final approval from the Mexican government.
Puerto Vallarta service will operate daily, while twice daily flights are planned to Cancun and Los Cabos.
"Southwest’s approval from the DOT to operate these new routes made history as the first authorities granted in a new agreement between the US and Mexico to allow more service between the countries," said Paul Cullen, vice president and executive sponsor of Los Angeles for Southwest Airlines.
Southwest also flies daily from LAX to Liberia/Guanacaste in Costa Rica.
To kick off the launch of the new flights, Southwest is offering special introductory fares from $129 one-way on all three routes for bookings made through August 21, 2016.
"These new Southwest flights from LAX to Mexico will expand L.A.’s global reach, bring Angelenos closer to the people they love, and help our city’s economy continue to grow," said LA mayor Eric Garcetti.
