TORONTO, ON, 2015-9-22 — /Travel PR News/ — Following a successful inaugural season during 2015, Sunwing will once again offer weekly, direct flights from Buffalo to Cancun, Mexico and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic this coming winter. Providing travellers with a convenient, direct route to two of the Caribbean’s most sought after destinations, the new flight program will commence January 16, 2016. En route to their vacation destination, passengers can sit back and relax with the airlines’ award-winning Champagne Service that includes a complimentary sparkling wine toast, meal and wine service and complimentary in-flight entertainment. They’ll also receive a generous 20kg checked luggage allowance at no extra charge.
“We were extremely pleased to have the opportunity to offer Sunwing flights from Buffalo for the first time last year,” said Andrew Dawson, President of Tour Operations for Sunwing Vacations. “These were the first international flights to be offered from here since 2001 and we were delighted with how well the service was received by customers on both sides of the border. Punta Cana and Cancun are consistently two of our most popular vacation hotspots. We’re certain that our second season will be just as successful as the first.”
Kimberley A. Minkel, Executive Director of Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority said, “We are extremely delighted that Sunwing will once again be offering their nonstop international flights to exotic Cancun and Punta Cana in 2016. These “warm weather” flights are an important addition to our list of destinations and are a testament to the international opportunities we have at the Buffalo airport.”
