Following Sunwing’s initial winter schedule announcement in September for four larger airports across Canada, the tour operator will increased capacity for the 2022-2023 winter season amid continued demand for travel to sun destinations.
For the first time in over two years, Sunwing is returning to 12 more airports this winter and now offering flights to the sun from a total of 26 gateways from coast to coast.
From major city centres to airport operations in regions including Atlantic Canada, the Prairies, Northern Ontario and Québec, Sunwing will continue to offer the most direct flights to sun destinations, well over double that of the previous winter season.
Time for La Romana
Sunwing is now adding weekly flights from Toronto and Montreal to La Romana, located along the south-eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, starting in December.
La Romana is recognized as one of the most popular spots for golfing in the Caribbean and offers a number of all inclusive beachfront resorts that overlook the Caribbean Sea, including the top-rated, family-friendly Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus.
Customers may also opt to stay at nearby Coral Costa Caribe Resort, conveniently located close to Guavaberry Golf and Country Club.
Flights from Toronto to La Romana will take place on Sundays starting December 18, 2022 until April 2, 2023, and from Montreal on Sundays starting December 4, 2022 until April 2, 2023.
“We’re thrilled to see that customer demand for travel this winter is not slowing down but continues to intensify following the government’s removal of travel measures, and we’re meeting customer expectations by continuing to add more routes and destinations for the upcoming season, providing Canadians with more options and greater value on their all inclusive sun vacations,” said Andrew Dawson, president of Tour Operations for Sunwing.
"We’re excited to add the beautiful Caribbean destination of La Romana in the Dominican Republic as part of our winter lineup. This is in addition to new and expanding destinations we announced in recent weeks, including Cayo Largo in Cuba, Melbourne in Florida and Freeport in Grand Bahama. We’re already seeing several resorts across the destinations we offer booking up early. With all the pent-up demand for travel, customers should book soon to guarantee their preferred spot in paradise for the busy holiday and winter season.”
