ATLANTA, Feb. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vacation Express looks forward to providing travelers non-stop service from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) to Cancun International Airport (CUN) every Sunday from May 20 to July 29, 2018 with a bonus 3-night departure on Thursday, May 17, 2018 in addition to a robust 6-night Punta Cana program departing every Friday from May 18 to July 27, 2018 and 4-night escapes to the beautiful, Dominican shores every Thursday from May 24 to July 5, 2018.

“Vacation Express launched seasonal service from MSY to Cancun in 2013, and they have continued to grow in New Orleans, adding new destinations and additional frequencies,” said Kevin Dolliole, Director of Aviation for Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. “We are happy to have them flying seasonally to Cancun, Mexico, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, this year.”

The 3-night escape to Cancun will be operated by Sunwing Airlines on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Passengers will be able to take advantage of a non-alcoholic beverage, snack and in-flight entertainment with the option to upgrade to Elite Plus for only $45 each way which includes extra legroom, priority check-in and boarding and a free checked bag weighing up to 66 pounds. All other flights to Cancun and Punta Cana will be operated by Swift Air, LLC. on a Boeing 737-400 aircraft. The value-packed flights will enable travelers to sit back and relax while enjoying a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage and snack. Each traveler will be permitted one free carry-on bag and the option to purchase add-ons like Preferred Plus starting at $45 each way which includes seating in the front-rows with extra legroom, two alcoholic beverages, a snack box and a checked bag weighing up to 50 pounds.
