Air Canada has or had two direct flight a week from Toronto.
 
WestJet

Their planes have TV on back of each seat and service is better than the others. Their employees are happier as most of them are shareholders as well.

Searches all major airlines at once for the cheapest fare. You can tailor it for departure and/or arrival times & get fare alerts by email. I've found some great fares there.

Air Canada has always been hit or miss with me. They are the only airline that has ever caused me grief. Plus they're expensive. I'd only use AC as a last resort untill they get their shit together, and after all these years & bailouts, I doubt they will be getting their shit together anytime soon.

And before the flames start, yes I am bitter, so?

When I travel the only things I pay attention to are the departure and arrival times, the price, the total travel time/connections and whether or not I have to go through LAX (Los Angeles - which I avoid whenever possible).

You asked about time to book - I assume you mean earlier in the year (not between 7 - 9am each day!) - although you want to get flight insurance if booking really early in case of changes (I was booked for a trip around 9/11 and couldn't go). Typically for flight only the early the better, although excellent deals do come up (travelocity alerts for example have saved me a fortune - i.e. paid 1/2 the original listed flight price for a trip to Africa or Expedia). Unfortunately those sites want you to select pretty acurate dates, rather than selecting the cheapest packages for a time period (say the month of november - possibly a good web business for someone!)

If just going to Puerto Vallarta in November, I would just book a package deal and not worry about the details about which airline etc - in the end you just want to get there, and I have done some long trips - the longest being 54 hours from New Zealand to northern Europe a long time ago (slower planes with more stops - 54 hours travel time).
 
Kayak, Orbitz, Expedia are good options for searching flights; I always buy direct from the carrier once I identify the flight, that way if I have a problem, it can be addressed more efficiently; I've had experiences with booking services where I paid the booking service and the carrier/hotel did not have a record of the transaction; took a couple or hours, in some cases days, to get a refund
 
dont bother with expedia or site like that. they have to charge service fee while airline like air canada are cheaper when you book directly through their website.
