When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 10 of them join BJX to PVR.
| Connecting at | BJX to hub, flights a day | Hub to PVR, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mexico City NLU | 2.14 | 2.86 | 951 | 3h 24m |
| Mexico City MEX | 5.29 | 5.29 | 965 | 3h 40m |
| Monterrey MTY | 5.29 | 3.43 | 1,323 | 3h 57m |
| Houston IAH | 4 | 1.14 | 2,609 | 5h 35m |
| Dallas DFW | 3.43 | 2 | 2,977 | 6h 18m |
| Tijuana TIJ | 4.14 | 3.86 | 3,756 | 6h 48m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at BJX in the afternoon actually flies on.
10 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Mexico City NLU, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through NLU the routing covers 951 km against the 394 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 24m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 19m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Mexico City MEX at 3h 40m and Monterrey MTY at 3h 57m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 394 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 6h 09m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.
If nothing suitable leaves Leon and Silao, Queretaro QRO is 141 km away by great circle and carries 28 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara GDL is 203 km away by great circle and carries 67 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for BJX to PVR in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
