Sunwing Adds Two New Routes to Mexico

 

By the Caribbean Journal staff

In what has been quite a busy month for Canada’s Sunwing, the company has launched a pair of new routes to hotspots in Mexico.

The carrier has inaugurated a new flight from Montreal to Mazatlan, along with new nonstop service from Quebec City to Puerto Vallarta.

“We salute Sunwing’s commitment to serve the people of the greater Quebec City area by adding a new destination to their roster from YQB,” said Gaëtan Gagné, President and CEO of Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport. “With the opening of the new terminal, we now have the ability to better service our ever-increasing number of passengers”, he continued, “Puerto Vallarta is a popular destination for our passengers and we are happy about the launch of this route for the winter season.”

The Montreal-Mazatlan flights are running each Tuesday through April 16, 2019. The new Puerto Vallarta flights will run every Monday through April 15, 2019.

“During this cold weather, travellers will appreciate having a new sun destination available to them from Montreal”, said Philippe Rainville, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aéroports de Montréal. “We’d like to thank Sunwing for offering this new destination, which will allow Montréal travellers to enjoy the sun and beach and give them a chance to experience the rich Mexican culture and history of Mazatlàn.”

The 50 Best Restaurants in the Caribbean

 

The Caribbean culinary scene has never been stronger.

And much has changed since we first launched the 50 Best Restaurants in the Caribbean back in 2013.

Now, six years later, the world has begun to notice the gastronomic power of the Caribbean, appreciating it as what might be the most diverse culinary destination on earth — and are proud to say we have helped to move the needle in that regard.

With our newest edition of the 50 Best, we celebrate the best of the Caribbean’s eateries, concentrating as we always have on three major pillars: food, service and ambience.

Because these three things, when married skillfully, turn a place to eat into a world-class restaurant — and, happily, the Caribbean is teeming with them.

Our team of the world’s leading Caribbean travel experts scoured the region for culinary standouts, running the gamut from resort restaurants to celebrity chef outposts to tucked-away beach bars to funky food trucks.

What do they all have in common? They’re the 50 best restaurants in the Caribbean for 2018. Congratulations to all of the selections.

Canadian travel giant Sunwing has launched a new route to Jamaica’s tourism hub of Montego Bay.

The new route is operating out of Greater Sudbury Airport in Ontario, with weekly flights on Thursdays running through April 11, 2019.

““Our seasonal flight service from Sudbury has been well-received in past seasons and we are excited to be offering travellers in the Greater Sudbury region with even more ways to Vacation Better this winter,” said Andrew Dawson, Sunwing’s president of tour operations. “Sudbury residents can now easily explore all that Montego Bay has to offer with this convenient direct flight service, including its pristine beaches, world-famous tours and excursions and warm Caribbean hospitality.”

Sunwing also recently resumed flights from Sudbury to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

“Once again, we are thrilled to welcome Sunwing to Greater Sudbury for another season,” said Todd Tripp, CEO of the Greater Sudbury Airport. “With Sunwing now offering flight service to Montego Bay, Jamaica, for the 2018-2019 winter season, in addition to its popular flight to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, sun destination choices for Sudbury travellers have never been more convenient.”

Sunwing’s package vacations include stays at resorts ranging from the company’s own Royalton Blue Waters resort to the Riu Palace Tropical Bay, among others.
