Editor’s note: Mexico’s travel picture is shifting at both ends of the journey. Puerto Vallarta is moving toward cruise-homeport status, a project expected to begin construction in 2027 and operate by 2029, allowing passengers to start or end voyages there and potentially extending their stays in the resort city. Meanwhile, Mexico City remains the world’s most congested city, with a 75.9% average congestion level in 2025 and an average 10-kilometer drive taking 34 minutes and 29 seconds. Travelers should also note that Mexico City-area airports periodically suspend takeoffs and landings for official airspace operations, making it wise to confirm flight schedules directly with airlines.
