While United will continue to fly from Houston (IAH), American Service will launch from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and residents of the second largest Texan Hub offers more useful access to the Paradisaical Beach Retreat.

At present, one -way rates have not been announced, but on the other hand, American has made sure that the route will be available all year round“ Making them the only airline that serves direct flights from Dallas to PXM, regardless of the season.
Why visit Puerto Escondido in 2025


The surf capital of Mexico, it is home to some of the most beautiful (and unspoilt) beaches of the country, including Zicatela, the best known as the Mexican pipeline, because of the long, barreling waves and pensioned coast.
Other beaches, such as Carrizalillo and Puerto Angelito, are preferred by beginners surfers and swimmers, such as The seas there can be calmer.
Puerto Escondido was a fishing village before developers found it, and luckily for culture lovers it still has much of that original charm: Zicatela, for example, is held by a number of seafood restaurants run by family, who serve food at affordable prices.


Popular lunch places on the beach are Chicama, a no-frills Peruvian famous for their fresh Ceviche, Rosarito, everyone for the place for the place for the place Tlayudas And grilled fish, and Agua Salá, a mid-range eatery with the best tuna tartar in the city.
Average, A meal for 2 in a cantina in the center will return you to $ 39.35 (according to Numbeo), And don’t forget that you can always fidle on delicious $ 2 – $ 4 seafood tacos from every street corner seller.
With its youthful atmosphere and high concentration of surfers and backpackers, Puerto Escondido feels like a distant scream of the Hotelzone of Cancun, but that does not mean that it is undeveloped: it simply feels more ‘locally’, or as some claim, less inauthentic.

Last month, They also added Tampico (TAM), cementing their position as the American airline with the best connections with the Golf, and soon they will prepare the service in established markets, in particular Cancun, which will soon organize in Oklahoma-goriginated flights.
