Flying from Houston to Loreto
Since Continental has discontinued their flight from Houston to Loreto, has anyone from this area (Houston) figured out a cost efficient way to fly by
commercial airlines to Loreto?

you're in Houston? why would you want to go to Loreto when you have so many excellent cheap connections to all the great areas of the mainland from
Texas?
we used Houston to Yucatan the times we didn't fly ourselves there. great service on continental - are they still around??

it's not cost effective but only two options i know of. Houston to LAX. or Mexico (City) and (just) try to get here from there. the first is
expensive, the second, laughably expensive. try for specials to Mexico City, sometimes there are specials from there to La Paz, but then it's bus it
or drive it. you could also fly to Phoenix and get AeroMexico from there to Loreto via Hermasillo and/or Guaymas, that leg runs about 650 +/-.
my mother lives in Houston and I have to do the semi-annual visits. was planning to use Continental, so would be very interested in any
suggestions/solutions, too.

How about flying to Lindberg Field in San diego. From there it's about a 15 minute drive to the border and another 15 minutes to Tijuana airport.
I remember seeing a recent post on Nomads that Tijuana to Loreto fare was in the $100.00U.S. range.

SJD is still served from Houston by Delta, among others
Sounds like it might be cheaper to rent a car at Cabo and drive to Loretto.
I assure you , that a fourteen hour day spent on connecting flights is a real drag.

That is a special on Voloras ...
Purchase your ticket between 9/3 - 9/9 and ...
Fly between 9/1 - 9/30/2008 ...
And the one hundred fare (each way) includes all taxes and departure fees ..... So It Is A Great Fare !!
Here is a link to their web site

I'm coming down to look at some property in the San Lucas Cove area and need to fly into Loreto. Yes, Continental is still around and they still
provide a good service for a fair price.

Ron's solution sounds by far the best. Fly to Cabo, rent a car and do an easy drive to Loreto in one day. Around 350 miles.
Usually get decent fares flying into Cabo and you'll have a car at your disposal while here. Going through Lax is a drag, with connecting problems,
time consuming, and more expensive by far.
All this, under the assumtion that you'll be able to fly directly from Houston into Cabo.

Thank you for all your replys. I will look into each suggested route. I hope that Continental will someday resume their flights to Loreto. It was
nice to be able to fly there for around $500 roundtrip and then rent a car to explore both the central and southern parts of Baja. Thanks again.

According to their website, Volaris doesn't fly to Loreto. Those are La Paz flights.

You might want to check about Houston to Guaymas. Once in Guaymas there is a puddle jumper called Vuelos de Guerro Negro that flies from Guaymas to
Santa Rosalia, which would be a lot closer to San Lucas Cove. We live at San Bruno which is just south of San Lucas Ejido and our friends have used
this route several times. Telephne number for Guaymas is 011-52-622-221-2800.

of course matching up your flight times could be a challenge. most of the puddle jumpers fly only a few days a week, and on very iffy schedules (my
flight Sta Rosalia-Guaymas once was 6 hrs late and I made my connection by 5 minutes, with the captain running me past customs in Guaymas and onto the
next flight)

Try Aero Calafia, Los Cabos to Loreto. The flight is on Sat. and Wed. and departs at 10 am. will probably require an overnight in SJC. Don't know the
schedule Hou to Los Cabos....

Did I read something here that I did not understand. Bajaumpaw is trying to get to San Lucas Cove which is 15 miles south of Santa Rosalia, so why
would he want to go to Loreto and then back up the peninsula to SR? The flight from Guaymas to Santa Rosalia actually goes 7 days a week now but it
is always a good idea to have a concrete reservation.
It may be more economical to go from Houston to Cabo however because of the econ flights that go from Houston or Dallas/Ft. Worth to Cabo and rent a
car and drive back up.

oops, no wonder people get mixed up. "that's where...he wanted to go" refers to Loreto. he asked how to get to Loreto from Houston.
