Sunwing is returning to Thunder Bay for a ninth season this coming winter and adding a new direct flight service to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for the first time. With the introduction of this new service, vacationers departing from Thunder Bay will enjoy convenient and direct access to three of the travel company’s most popular vacation destinations. Along with adding new weekly flights to Punta Cana operating between Dec. 19, and March 27, the travel company is bringing back its popular winter flight services to Varadero, Cuba and Cancun, Mexico that will be available between Nov. 6, and March 26, and Dec. 24, and April 1, respectively.
Renowned for its white sand beaches fringed with swaying palm trees and turquoise waters, Punta Cana offers vacationers a perfect blend of fun, relaxation and entertainment. Travellers can look forward to spending lazy days on the beach, teeing off on a world class golf course or exploring on both land and sea by adding a Sunwing Experience to their package. Options range from whizzing through the jungle canopy on a zipline, embarking on an jeep safari or snuba diving in search of myriads of tropical fish.
President of Tour Operations Andrew Dawson, commented on the news. “We are delighted to be returning to Thunder Bay this coming season and to be offering our customers even more choice from their doorstep; without the need to make the long winter drive to Toronto or change planes to reach the sunny south. Our seasonal flight services from Thunder Bay have always been well received and we are very pleased to be able to expand our operations even further this year. Punta Cana is consistently one of our most popular vacation hotspots and we are sure that it will become a perennial favourite with our customers in Thunder Bay for many years to come.”
