Vacation Express Adding More DR Flights

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - March 22, 2017

Vacation Express is returning its nonstop flights from Houston to Punta Cana this summer.

The flights will depart from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Punta Cana International Airport each Friday between May 26 and August 4.

“Travelers in the Houston region enjoy a growing number of destinations and quality carriers, both for business and pleasure,” said Molly Waits, Director of Air Service Development for the Houston Airport System. “The return of seasonal service by Vacation Express expands the options in the leisure travel market for Houston travelers and we are happy to have Vacation Express as part of the family of quality air carriers serving the growing numbers at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.”

The flights will be operated by Swift Air on a Boeing 737.

Travelers can either buy a six-night package including resort stay or buy the airfare on its own.
