Sunwing cancels all winter flights out of Regina

Jan 17, 2023 | 12:00 PM

Sunwing has cancelled its flights out of Regina for the rest of the winter.

Some of the passengers who are affected had to rebook in February or March after Sunwing’s first round of cancellations in late December — and now their rebooked trips are also cancelled.

“Due to extenuating circumstances, we sincerely regret to inform travel advisors that we are cancelling the balance of our winter program from Regina, effective February 4, 2023,” said an email to a Regina travel agent that was obtained by 980 CJME.

“This impacts weekly flights from Regina to Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic, with the exception of Sunday departures to Puerto Vallarta on February 17th, Mazatlan on February 17th and Cancun on February 18th and February 20th, which will operate as planned.”

The email said there were some exceptions, however.

“With the exception of customers scheduled to depart from Regina on Family Day weekend, and customers with Sunday bookings to Puerto Vallarta, Sunwing is offering impacted customers the ability to transfer their vacation package to same-day departures from Winnipeg, Saskatoon or other Canadian airports as originally booked pricing, pending availability,” the email said.

“Alternatively, customers can choose to cancel their vacations for a full refund to their original form of payment, if preferred.”

There wasn’t any confirmation on the Sunwing website or its social media feeds.
