Looks like Air Canada is going after a slice of the Huatulco pie....

Check out the Air Canada Vacations site.......very competitive prices for the Castillo, Las Brisas, and Secrets.....

That's good see, but out of Winnipeg you have to go throughToronto. They do not show any direct flights to Huatulco. But that might change later into the year I guess we will have to wait and see what our options are.

Looks like Westjet is your last hope for a direct non-stop alternative to Sunwing for departures out of YWG at this point.......Westjet did announce they were expanding their operations to Mexico with four new flights from Canada.......With Air Canada in the east and Air Transat in the west, perhaps Winnipeg, Regina, and Saskatoon will see Westjet offer direct flights to HUX next season........

If not, you're left with Sunwing, or the... "planes, trains, and automobiles" option through the Excited States.....

no Transat from Vancouver....

Sunwing only....

but, if I am desperate I could fly down with a cheap package from sunwing , stay a little longer and return via Air Canada through toronto....only one stop is nice but ten hours in the air is nasty...... one way air only price right now 1381 all included hux to yvr...ouch

and no Suze, not booking yet :)

Ha ha... let me know your dates of travel... I'm always up for a challenge, just ask Zack aka itszando on the Airfare to Huatulco recent post.

It's great to finally see an alternative carrier for the Eastern Canadian Folks. At this point in time I'm soooo done, kaput, fini on Westjet - offering anything, at least for the upcoming season. With their recent code share partnering with AA, more destinations in Mexico are available, still no Huatulco. Their flights to Zihua look pretty enticing tho'.

 LYOBAN

Lyoban is originally a zapotecan word (LYO-BAAN).

The word refers to a holy place where the "cloud-men" arrived when they were able to achieve the higest level of spirituality. There they stayed, in the Lyo-baan for eternity. Maintaining peace and balance, day by day.

 LYOBAN has been our home for more than 15 years

We are proud to say that we have hosted thousands of guys from all over the world. Many of them return every year. Through the years we have tried to create a great environment for our visitors. We want you to feel like you are at home.

We are convinced that we are one of the cheapest traveling options, but our first concern is to our customers. We want you to feel satisfied and safe while you are visiting us. We are always improving the quality of service and hospitality to better serve you.

We are open all year and we would prefer that you make a reservation before you arrive. This will insure that you have a room when you arrive. However reservations are not required.

We are located in the center of town next to the local church and we are well known by the local taxi services.

Thanks to everyone that has supported and continues to support this project. It is so great to be here and hear all the energy around seeing the first film about this town.

Great job, Jeff!!!! Wishing you luck to reach your goal. Yes, praise the work of lifeguards! -one of my friends voluteers in Zipolite. And thank you for getting the word out about Pina Palmera! I have the privilege to do short-term volunteering, offering massage up to twice a year for the residents, the workers and other volunteers. They do amazing work for the community it’s the least I could do to give back :)

Playa Zipolite: Life on Death Beach Help me send my film about the lifeguards that saved my life to film festivals - Ayúdame a difundir mi documental sobre los salvavidas que me salvaron la vida.

Hi, I'm Jeff Arak.

Five years ago, I set out to make a documentary about a group of volunteer lifeguards that saved my life in 2006.

Along the way, I learned that the lifeguards weren't the only group in Zipolite doing important work and not getting paid enough to do it. Piña Palmera works with people with disabilities and their families throughout the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico.

The film that I created, Life on Death Beach, is an intimate exploration of life in Zipolite and the people that live there. You can see a trailer here. I am raising money to send this film to film festivals around the world. If you are interested in promoting water safety or disability rights; or if you are moved by the stories in the film, please consider donating to the campiagn.

There are some very exciting rewards you will receieve in exchange for your contributions that will bring the beach to you and allow you to feel and experience life on death beach. I am very excited to report that Marine Rescue Products, one of the leading suppliers of lifeguarding equipment in the USA, has graciously agreed to provide equipment to match donations for this campaign. You can read about all of the available perks to the right of this panel.

If you would like to donate directly to the Zipolite lifeguards or to Piña Palmera, you can do that at the links below.

Thank you for your support.

Hola, yo soy Jeff Arak.

Cinco (5) años atrás, me lance a hacer un documental sobre un grupo de salvavidas voluntarios que me salvaron la vida en el 2006.

En el camino, aprendí que los salvavidas no eran el unico groupo en Zipolite que estaba haciendo un trabajo importante sin una compensación adecuada. Piña Palmera trabaja con personas con discapacidades y sus familias a lo largo de la costa sur de Oaxaca, México.

La película que hicé, Viviendo en la Playa de la Muerte, es una exploración íntima de la vida en Zipolite y sus ciudadanos. Puede ver el "trailer" de la película aquí. Estoy recaudando fondos para enviar la película a diferentes festivales de cine en todo el mundo. Si usted está interesado en promover seguridad en el agua, o derechos de las personas con discapacidades o, si le inspiran las historias del documental, por favor considere hacer una donación a la campaña.

Hay muy buenos premios que podrá recibir como recompensa por su apoyo, que seguro traerán la playa hasta usted y le permitirán que sienta y viva la playa de la muerte. Es muy emocionante para mi anunciar que Marine Rescue Products, uno de los principales proveedores de equipos desalvavidas en los EE.UU., ha amablemente accedido a suministrar equipos para igualar las donaciones de esta campaña. Puede leer acerca de todos los beneficios disponibles a la derecha de este panel.

Si prefiere donar directamente a los salvavidad de Zipolite o a Piña Palmera, puede hacerlo seleccionando los enlaces que estan abajo

Gracias por su solidaridad.
