Flight FAQs

You have the convenience of booking your own flights, with your preferred airline and the schedule that is most convenient for you. Global DMC Partners will reimburse clients for the cost of your flight based on roundtrip airfare (coach) from your home destination to Puerto Vallarta (PVR), up to the reimbursement banding limits (whichever is lower), and following the terms provided here. We ask that all flights be booked by April 15, 2024. When booking your flight, please keep the below policies in mind: 

The Connection begins at 6:00 pm on Thursday, June 6th. If based on flight patterns, a flight is not available for you to arrive with enough time for the Connection opening, please email connection@globaldmcpartners.com to discuss your options.

Please take note that if a flight is available for you to arrive in time for the event on the 6th, but you prefer to arrive on the 5th, you will be responsible for the the room rate of $329 plus taxes for the night of the 5th.

For those flying from Europe, a complimentary room will be provided for you on Wednesday, June 5th.

Global DMC Partners will reimburse whichever is lower – either the actual flight cost, or the maximum reimbursement limit for your home departure destination for a round trip coach airfare. The reimbursement bands are listed below.  

If your preferred departure destination is not listed in the travel reimbursement table, contact connection@globaldmcpartners.com to understand what your reimbursement amount will be prior to booking your flight.
