What PVR to QRO looks like
The PVR to QRO sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Puerto Vallarta PVR to Queretaro QRO is a short sector of 527 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 527 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 17m.
Puerto Vallarta PVR is a smaller airport in the network held here, 35 scheduled destinations and 41.7 departures a day. Queretaro QRO has 28 destinations and 33.6 departures a day.
Puerto Vallarta and Queretaro keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

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. 11 of them join PVR to QRO.
| Connecting at | PVR to hub, flights a day | Hub to QRO, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guadalajara GDL | 3.43 | 0.71 | 528 | 2h 47m |
| Mexico City MEX | 8.71 | 3.29 | 835 | 3h 28m |
| Monterrey MTY | 3.43 | 6.29 | 1,347 | 3h 59m |
| Houston IAH | 1.14 | 4.29 | 2,584 | 5h 33m |
| Dallas DFW | 2 | 3.86 | 2,984 | 6h 18m |
| Tijuana TIJ | 2.43 | 2.29 | 3,884 | 6h 58m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at PVR in the afternoon actually flies on.
11 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Guadalajara GDL, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through GDL the routing covers 528 km against the 527 km nonstop track and takes about 2h 47m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 30m 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 28m and Monterrey MTY at 3h 59m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
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.
If nothing suitable leaves Queretaro, Leon and Silao BJX is 141 km away by great circle and carries 21 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 PVR to QRO 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.
