Sun Country Airlines is adding the twice-a-week, nonstop flights to the popular winter destinations beginning Dec. 19, airport officials announced Tuesday. The seasonal flights to Las Vegas and Orlando will take off from Madison on Thursdays and Sundays.

"We are excited to add these seasonal flights to the Dane County Regional Airport," Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said in a statement. "These destinations provide the perfect opportunity for Dane County residents hoping to escape winter weather and enjoy a warm vacation destination."
