Sunwing is adding flights to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic from Saskatoon this coming winter season, scheduled to operate on Thursdays between Dec. 15, and March 30, inclusive. This latest addition to the travel company’s line up of sunshine destination available follows the recent announcement that a winter flight service to Grand Bahama would be offered for the first time this winter. With this expanded service, residents of Saskatoon can take advantage of sunshine flights to 12 popular vacation destinations this winter.

President of Tour Operations, Andrew Dawson commented, “We are pleased to be adding even more sunshine flights from Saskatoon this winter. The Dominican Republic is consistently one of our most popular destinations and we are sure that the introduction of this convenient weekly flight service will be well received.”

Situated on the Dominican Republic’s northern coastline, Puerto Plata boasts a variety of attractions to suit all tastes. Active travellers will appreciate the abundance of water and land sports available; the area is renowned as being the kite surfing capital of the world and is also home to a number of world class golf courses. Those seeking culture will enjoy exploring the colonial Fort San Felipe and old town of Puerto Plata itself. For families, the area has everything from marine parks to jeep style safaris.
