Sun Country to go transatlantic
Sun Country Airlines has announced a new international seasonal service between Minneapolis/St Paul and London, UK, scheduled to operate weekly from 11 June until 15 August.
Flight will depart the Twin Cities on Fridays with a midday return from London Stansted on Sundays. The service will operate with an intermediate stop and offer both first class and coach seating on one of Sun Country’s Boeing 737-800s.
“London is a great summer destination and we are looking forward to providing customers with a new way across the Atlantic. In addition, London’s Stansted airport is one of the best connection points to the continent with numerous flights on Europe’s leading low-fare airlines Ryanair and easyJet,” observed Stan Gadek, Sun Country president and CEO. “We’re expanding our Hometown Airline this summer to give our customers a familiar, convenient and value-based choice across the Atlantic. We’re excited to operate this new route and we think our passengers will be thrilled as well by the savings and high level of attention and award winning service that Sun Country is known for.”
