Sunwing Airlines ?

[King Midas]

Anybody heard of them? Better yet -flown on them? Friend of mine suggested them when I mentioned I was pricing southbound vacations? I have never heard of them before.

Just a charter company. Comparable to SkyService and Air Transat.

Mostly Caribbean, southern US, and a few Europe destinations.

FYI - if you over 5'8'' you will feel like a sardine for the duration of the trip. They take something like a 27 row airplane and add 4 or 5 extra rows.

Might be cheaper but its as uncomfortable as you could imagine.

They don't appear to be any cheaper than Air Canada. I don't know how they could have existed and I'd never heard of them.

As mentioned, they only do the caribbean charters

I fly out of Buffalo. Heck of a lot cheaper and worth the drive

I flew to Cuba with them on a last minute deal and it was OK. Book them through the last minute web sites and you'll be suprised at the prices.

Flown with them twice, very friendly staff, check in & boarding no issues, as others have stated they are a charter airline so space is an issue, especially for me being a "big guy". Currently during the "off season" they are concentrating on domestic flights, flights down south resume as their main operations in the fall

My thoughts exactly.

Flew with them to the Dominican about 18 months ago as part of a golf package. Typical charter.

The only difference with Air Canada was that they were on time and didn't lose my golf clubs.

Have used them many times. Always found flights were ontime or even early. Great staff, food wasn't to bad, movies are okay and up to date. Very fast as getting your luggage in and out of the plain. No huge wait times at all. Great reps at the actual AI's that you deal with.

Had a girlffriend book with another carrier once and regret that she didn't book sunwing as she has done before.

I have used them a number of times. for best price book way in advance(5 months or more0 or book last minute( 7 days or less) you can get seat with more leg room, first 4 rows i think but must per book and cost extra $20 per seat per way, I'm 6'1" and the front seats are a pleasur. always on time, good service, nice staff in toronto and on the planes, at departing airport that is another story. I have flow to cuba,dr, and florida and says you 3 hours both ways going to buffalo for about the same price.

Look for their ad in the Sat Star travel section.
