Hurricane Polo: Puerto Vallarta Flight Update | Sept. 27, 2026
Sunday night update: September 27, 2026, Puerto Vallarta time. Weather reference: NHC Advisory 30, issued at 8 p.m. MST (9 p.m. in Puerto Vallarta). Flight information is a limited public-source snapshot, not a complete airline operations report.
Travelers planning a visit to Puerto Vallarta can take some reassurance from the latest information: Polo’s hurricane warnings are focused farther northwest, and public flight tracking shows commercial activity at PVR. However, we cannot confirm that every flight from Canada or the United States is operating normally. There were reports of weather-related delays over the weekend, so please check your own flight before traveling.

Where is Hurricane Polo on Sunday night?
In Advisory 30, the National Hurricane Center placed Polo about 420 km (260 miles) west of Cabo San Lucas, moving north at 19 km/h (12 mph), with maximum sustained winds of 205 km/h (125 mph). The bulletin’s hurricane warnings cover parts of Baja California Sur and the mainland coast from Guaymas to Huatabampito. Puerto Vallarta is not listed in those warning areas. This does not constitute a local all-clear.
What has happened in Puerto Vallarta?
A Uno TV report published September 27 described flooding and flight delays during Saturday’s storm. It cited airport personnel reporting reduced visibility and delayed flights. That account concerns Saturday’s disruption; it does not establish that the same conditions continued throughout Sunday night. It also does not provide a complete list of canceled flights.
Are flights from the United States canceled?
FlightAware’s PVR activity board reviewed for this update showed Alaska Airlines AS437 arriving from Los Angeles and departures to Los Angeles by Alaska Airlines AS1431 and Delta DL1779. These are examples of commercial activity, not proof that every U.S. route operated or that all flights were on time. A complete, verified cancellation total for U.S.–PVR flights was not available in the sources reviewed.
What about flights from Canada?
The reviewed Flightradar24 listing included WestJet WS2241 from Puerto Vallarta to Calgary for September 27, but the retrieved information showed a scheduled or estimated departure rather than a verified completed flight. That is insufficient to confirm normal Canadian service. We could not establish a complete, current cancellation count for Air Canada, WestJet, or all Canada–PVR routes.
A flight shown as scheduled may still change. A route absent from a board is not automatically canceled, either. Use your airline’s flight-status tool with the exact date and flight number, including any connecting flights.
Before leaving for the airport
1. Confirm your flight and connections
Check the operating airline’s app or website and enable booking notifications. Airport activity and an airline travel waiver do not establish the status of your individual flight. Recheck before leaving home or your hotel.
2. Check local conditions
Review official weather and civil-protection instructions, and confirm your airport transfer with your hotel or driver. Follow road closures and beach restrictions. Avoid driving through flooded roads.
3. Keep your dental appointment coordinated
If your arrival changes, contact International Dental Center PV with your revised itinerary so we can review your appointment timing. Please confirm your appointment directly with our team; this article does not announce a change to clinic hours.
Frequently asked questions
Does this update mean all Canada and U.S. flights are normal?
No. Some commercial activity is visible, but the available evidence does not establish zero cancellations or delays. Confirm your specific flight with the operating airline.
Should I cancel my dental trip because of Polo?
Review your airline’s current status, local official instructions, your transfer arrangements and your appointment confirmation before deciding. The storm’s name or an older headline alone cannot determine whether your itinerary is affected.
