Share the article

With the return of international travel, Canadians are more than eager to get back there and flock south, especially for the winter. The good news for travelers in the North is that not only are flights being relaunched from Canada to sunny destinations and beyond, but some of the country’s major low-cost airlines have now scheduled new flight routes to places of popular vacations like Cancun.

Just in time for the winter travel season, here are the new cheap flight options to Cancun from these Canadian cities in Ontario.

Swoop launches new flight route from Toronto to Cancun

The Canadian low-cost airline Swoop announced earlier this week that they would add a number of new routes from cities across Canada to sun destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean, and one of the new routes includes Toronto to Cancun.

Starting this month, Torontonians can get direct daily flights to Cancun through the airline. Base fares currently start at $269 for a one-way flight, with 8 flight frequencies per week during peak season.

“As Canada’s leading ultra-low-cost airline, we are excited to expand sunshine flying this winter,” said Bob Cummings, president of Swoop, during the announcement. “With winter weather on the way, demand for leisure travel in the South is reaching new heights, and we are proud to meet that demand with this additional capacity.”

This new holiday season flight service launched on Swoop will be another addition to the direct Toronto-Cancun route, already served by Flair Airlines, Air Canada, WestJet and Air Transat. You can find flight deals to Cancun and beyond on the FlySwoop website.

In less than 5 hours, you will be under sunnier skies and forget the snow at home.

Sunwing holiday airline relaunches direct flight

Another direct flight route to Cancun that was announced recently was with Sunwing, Canada’s leading vacation destination airline. Although the company generally sells affordable all-inclusive vacation packages to sunny winter destinations popular with Canadian travelers, sunwing also offers flight-only options allowing sun-seekers to organize their own trips.

Among the relaunched flight routes added to Sunwing’s winter season route this year are flight services to Cancun and Varadero, Cuba, from Thunder Bay, Ontario. This means residents of western and northern Ontario won’t have to travel to London or Toronto to travel to Cancun for their winter vacation this year.

“We are excited to return to Thunder Bay this winter, with direct Sunwing flights to two of our most popular vacation destinations in the tropics,” said Andrew Dawson, President of Sunwing Tourism Operations. “As a long-time partner of Sunwing, we are excited to continue working with Thunder Bay International Airport and helping residents travel easily to paradise from their local airport.

This weekly light service from Thunder Bay in Cancun began last week on December 12 and will run until April 10, 2023.
