Canadian travel giant Sunwing is adding even more flights to Los Cabos in Mexico, the company said this week.

Sunwing will be adding nonstop flights from Ottawa to Los Cabos beginning Dec. 20; the flights, which will operate on Thursdays, will run through April 11, 2019.

The news comes shortly after Sunwing also expanded its flights to Los Cabos out of British Columbia.

“We are delighted to be providing our customers in Ottawa with even more travel options this coming winter. Los Cabos is consistently one of our popular vacation destinations and we’re sure this new service will be well received,” said Andrew Dawson, president of tour operations at Sunwing.

Travelers who combine the flights with a resort stay can include stays at properties like the new Riu Palace Baja California and the Riu Santa Fe.

“Like other Canadians, many Ottawa-Gatineau residents enjoy winter breaks to warm destinations” said Mark Laroche, Ottawa International Airport Authority President and CEO. “Sunwing’s addition of Los Cabos, Mexico provides even more choice to the already diverse range of sun spots available from [the airport].”
