Im willing to trade comfort for money :-)
Answers: There are discount airlines within Mexico. You can find more info about them on my website. Link below.
One company, Aviasca, have a special discount if a ticket is purchased on Tuesday. The flight doesn't be on a Tuesday, just purchased on a Tuesday.
Listen "Hans Brinker" I know that Mr. Dole can be an opinionated butt-head at times, but truly he DID give you some appropriate advice at hand.
I live in Mexico and travel profusely! Believe me you don't really want to "sit on a bus with no airco and hop from small town to small town." Maybe after you've be here for awhile, sure, but NOT right away, you have to know something in the order of the culture you are immersed in. (Don't be fooled by the "common" discourse, Mexico is NOT Spain!)
Mexico is not the US, where near are really cheap flights if you wait surrounded by line etc., Its more approaching Canada with LOTS of policy regulations and restriction in the airline industry which save prices much higher than the US.
Come on, you Euros are rich! We can read the exchange rates! Try the $80 bus to start beside, you won't be sorry....
dispatch yourself there within a big cardboard box!!
leave some nouns holes tho!! $80, THAT'S "redicould"? What are you Rip van Winkle? Have you been asleep for days gone by 25 years? That's $80 to travel almost 500 miles on "state of the art" modern freeways, in a tardy model, air-conditioned Mercedes or Volvo bus at 70 mph, non-stop, with in-seat movies and stewardess service! Mexican first-class bus service is among the highly best on this Earth!
You "other" options might include walking, biking or hitch hiking (all VERY exceptional and VERY dangerous surrounded by Mexico). You might try looking around among friends, the universities, etc to find someone you can share the expenses next to. (With the gas prices and the high freeway tolls, a private motor will cost at least $80 probably closer to $120 to drive to PV! College kids are other sharing expenses.)
The other alternative is to use the local bus services and bounce from town to town. The only problem here is that it will cart two or three times as long, no air conditioning, no English, lots of chickens and screaming kids, long layovers and wait, unsafe buses, breakdowns, questionable food, and in the call a halt you will probably save $20!
This is modern Mexico you know, not Kazakstan, my guidance to you is to do what most Mexicans would do, even the poorer ones, save up the $80 and savour the wonderful first-class ride!
- Rip van WINKLE! You're Dutch, "idioot!" you look it up!
- You can fly to Madrid for less than $80! Well next go fly to Madrid and STOP wasting our time over here!
- my warning to you was EXCELLENT, you ungrateful little "snikkel"! Other, cheaper option ARE dangerous, If you want to bounce around on cheap buses and procure salmonella, its YOUR BUSINESS, I simply pointed out the risks verses the funds. If you had even bothered to READ what I wrote, after my "reaction" SHOULD have help you, A LOT!
- lastly I'm not repeating your spelling errors to "be smart" I don't even know for sure just what you denote by words like "redicould" do they not hold dictionaries in your country?
- "be okay!" Alstublieft!
vaya con Dios, Nederlander.
Try your travel agent they can get consolidator fare.

Well, the thing is the buses be the cheapest way to travel... very soon, 800 probably is for the first class buses (you know, with tv, the chairs become bed, with restrooms, cafeteria and food included), i guess you can find something for smaller quantity. The worst bus is better than a greyhound bus, believe me, i've tried them both.
but a new airline that I know travels to Pto Vallarta is basically in mexico, it is call VivaAerobus and it flies there (but i mull over you have to cart it from Toluca, check if you can grab the metro from the airport up to Toreo and afterwards get a bus or transportation to the important station) if not it is from querétaro, but explicitly a couple of hours from your destination.

I don't think you hold any other option, I don`t know rent a car, but near the gas and the tollbooths i guess you would be paying the same...
Do you own any friends who are traveling with you? if you rent a sports car and share the expenses is cheaper, the other ways are going to be like what you said, $80
Good luck, hope someone can pass you another cheaper answer.
