Sunwing adds Miami as a destination with direct flights from Ottawa this winter


TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sunwing is adding Miami to its roster of destinations for the first time this winter. Travellers can take advantage of convenient, direct Saturday departures from Ottawa which will operate weekly from December 15, 2018 until March 30, 2019. A first for Ottawa, Sunwing is anticipated to be the only leisure carrier to offer direct flights from the capital to Miami this winter.

Home to a packed year-round calendar of world-class entertainment, sports and cultural events, Miami offers travellers a sunny getaway with plenty of beaches, numerous restaurants and shopping opportunities. The city is also the perfect base from which to explore Southern Florida or embark on a cruise.

Vice President of USA and Cruises, Reg Mendes, welcomed the news, "We're delighted to be offering our customers in Ottawa even more options for their winter escape this year. Miami is a hub for beach and city stays and much more. This new flight program will offer our customers more ways to explore in Florida together with even more convenient cruise package options."

Mark Laroche, President and CEO of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, added his seal of approval to the new route, "Sunwing's YOW growth is a testament to the airline's responsiveness to Ottawa-Gatineau's high demand for non-stop routes to popular and new destinations, like Miami."

Sunwing offers cruise packages with Norwegian Cruise Line and MSC Cruises sailing from Miami (including convenient transfers from the airport to nearby PortMiami) that offer a wide range of Caribbean itineraries.  Customers could also choose a cruise & stay package and enjoy a vacation in Miami or Fort Lauderdale before or after they sail.

For customers looking to explore on land, all Miami vacation packages include a car rental. In Miami, travellers can opt to stay at Residence Inn Miami Sunny Isles Beach, which offers spacious suites with fully-equipped kitchens and easy access to Sunny Isles Beach, shopping and golf.  Located right on Sunny Isles Beach, Sole on the Ocean features an oceanfront pool and is close to popular restaurants and activities. 

Canadians who visit Fort Lauderdale, a short drive from Miami, can stay at Ocean Sky Hotel and Resort, which enjoys a beachfront location near the historic Las Olas Boulevard or Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort which features an ocean view rooftop pool bar and family-friendly amenities including a supervised kids club.

All Sunwing packages to Florida include return flights on Sunwing Airlines where passengers can sit back, relax and enjoy a delicious buy on board selection of light meals and snacks with choices inspired by Food Network Canada Celebrity Chef, Lynn Crawford. Vacation packages to Florida include air, accommodations and a mid-size rental car. Cruise packages include pier transfers to PortMiami, cabin accommodations and meals. For those not booking a package with a hotel or cruise, fly/drive specials are available to explore Southern Florida.
