    Airport CEO Tammy Priddle says the 6-hour-flight leaves on Tuesdays and the last flight will be April 28th.

    Spring is officially here but the cold temperatures and snow that’s falling has many of us thinking about getting our feet in the sand. It was short notice but for the first time ever, Sunwing is offering a direct flight to Cancun from Deer Lake. Airport CEO Tammy Priddle says the 6-hour-flight leaves on Tuesdays and the last flight will be April 28th. She says it’s a great opportunity for the community to try something different and to show Sunwing and Westjet that the community is ready for a new destination. Travel can be booked directly on the Sunwing web site or by contacting a travel agent.
