Alaska Airlines offers bargain fares from California to Mexico

For the next week, Alaska Airlines is offering bargain fares to mark its new nonstop flights from John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County, California to Los Cabos (SJD) and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PVR).

Alaska is offering introductory one-way fares of $144 between SNA and SJD and $164 one-way fares between SNA and PVR. Tickets must be purchased by April 6 and travel completed by Dec. 11, 2015.
