Vacation Express is adding more flights to Punta Cana, this time out of Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

The new nonstop flights are part of a six-night program with flights departing every Monday from June 4 through Aug. 6, according to a statement from the company.

“Over the past three years that Vacation Express has provided our exclusive, nonstop flights to the Caribbean from Dallas and Houston, it became clear that Austin was going to be a natural and integral part of our growth due to demand for more non-stop routes to this popular destination,” said Kevin Hernandez, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Vacation Express.

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