PUEBLA, Mexico - As part of Tianguis Turistico 2013, held this week in Puebla, Mexico, MLT Vacations announced an increase in its airline partners' non-stop service, as well as the addition of new resorts to its Mexican product offerings. Travel Agent met with Elizabeth Moriarty, vice president for product development, who filled us in on the news. "Delta Air Lines will be flying daily from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta," she tells us. "Historically, this flight was offered just once a week. It will be offered daily as of July 1." Delta will also be adding non-stop flights from LA to Guadalajara. Aeromexico is added four summer non-stop flights from Los Angeles to Cancun and Huatulco.
