FLIGHTS
You will fly into Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR), and most flights for May of 2027 will begin to come out in July of 2026.
While the room does have to be booked through the travel advisors, you are more than welcome to book flights on your own and use any points, miles, etc., that you may have.
Please ensure that the name on your plane ticket matches the name on your passport exactly.
Our travel advisors, Jess & Jayme, are happy to answer any questions regarding flights.
PASSPORTS
Blue Passport Books are required for international air travel. Passport Cards are not valid for flights and will result in denied entry.
If you need to renew or apply for a passport, we recommend starting that process early to avoid any delays.
First-time and renewal passport application forms can be found here:

You may also renew your passport online (if eligible):

Brad + Jessica have secured a room block for their guests at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta.
There is a 3 night minimum for all wedding group stays at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, and please note that this resort REQUIRES that all guests attending the wedding stay on property and book into the couple’s room block.
This resort requires all wedding guests to be booked within the room block, and anyone booked outside of the room block will not be permitted to attend the wedding events.
When we say “room block,” we are referring to a group of rooms being held at a locked-in rate. Booking within the block also protects you from potential oversold resort situations. Resorts do sometimes oversell in anticipation of cancellations, which can result in guests being moved to another hotel. Booking into the group block prevents this.
Booking into the room block also provides you with our full support at no additional cost. This includes pre-travel guidance, travel assistance, and in-destination support should any unexpected issues arise. If you choose to book outside the room block and not through Here and Away Travel, we are unable to assist with travel-related needs or emergencies.
What a room block is not:
A room block is not a physical grouping of rooms located together. Guests arrive and depart on different dates, and room categories are located throughout the resort. We are happy to request that rooms be placed near friends or family, but these requests cannot be guaranteed. If staying near another group is important, we recommend reserving a suite together.
Follow the link below to see pricing and information on the room options that Jessica + Brad are holding in their room block.
Brad + Jess have organized a room block for all of their wedding guests. In order to be considered a part of the wedding group, you must book your rooms using our room reservation form. Those who book sooner will have a greater selection of rooms.
Final payments will be due on or before January 4th, 2027.
Step One: To reserve your room, please fill out the reservation form. Only one person from each room should complete the form, but you will need all guest information to do so.
Important Note About Travel Insurance (Please Read Carefully):
If you would like the cost of travel protection added to your invoice, please select: “Yes! Show me the insurance cost.” An updated invoice will then be sent that includes your room cost and insurance.
By approving your invoice, you are authorizing Here and Away Travel to charge your deposit and the cost of insurance to your card. Once travel protection is charged, it cannot be removed or refunded.
If you review your invoice and decide not to purchase insurance, do not approve it. Simply email us and request a revised invoice that includes only the hotel cost.
Declining Travel Protection:
If you choose “No,” you acknowledge that there are no refunds for any reason and that you will not have medical coverage while traveling internationally unless you secure it separately. Insurance must be purchased at the time of deposit to receive full benefits.
Booking Process:
Your room will be held with a $200 deposit. If you choose travel insurance, that amount will also be due at the time of deposit. You may make additional payments interest-free at any time.
Once you complete the reservation form, we will send an invoice for you to review and approve before anything is charged.
If you would like to make additional payments later, simply request a payment link and you may pay any amount at any time.
Round-trip airport transfers are available for $150 per vehicle for up to two guests or $175 per vehicle for up to four guests who are traveling on the exact same flights.
If multiple guests in the same room are arriving or departing on different flights, a separate transfer must be reserved for each different flight schedule.
All flight details must be submitted no later than March 18th, 2027. Any transfers without flight information received by this date will be cancelled without refund.
Please note that all guests must be listed on the transfer manifest in advance. The transfer company is very strict and will not allow guests who are not listed to join another group’s transfer vehicle.
INSURANCE + CANCELLATIONS
ALL RESERVATIONS IN THE GROUP BECOME FULLY NON-REFUNDABLE AFTER JANUARY 4TH, 2027 WITHOUT INSURANCE.
Here and Away Travel STRONGLY recommends that you purchase travel insurance, especially when traveling internationally. We highly recommend travel insurance not only to protect the investment on your trip, but also to protect you if something unexpected happens and you need medical attention or have to go to the hospital out of the country. Most US insurance companies do not cover anything outside of the USA, which can leave you with significant medical expenses. Hospitals will not discharge patients until all bills are paid in full.
CANCELLATIONS
Unexpected things happen. Illness, work conflicts, financial stress, family emergencies, injuries during travel, and more. Travel insurance protects you when life is unpredictable. The resort’s cancellation penalties are strict and not flexible. Please note that Here and Away Travel has NO ability to override the resort's implemented penalties, and emergencies are not a reason for an exception - that is exactly the situation that travel insurance is necessary for.
Please strongly consider travel insurance so that you are financially protected in all scenarios.
