Fresh off the news that Flair Airlines is now offering a 7% commission on fares booked through Sirev, Flair Vacations has announced five destinations for the launch of its first winter program.
Flair Vacations is launching with 18 weekly flights to CUN from YYZ alone, along with service to Punta Cana, Montego Bay, Puerto Vallarta, and Puerto Plata. Canadian gateways include YUL, YVR, YYC, and YEG in addition to YYZ.
The push into the crowded Cancun market totals 39 weekly flights from across Canada adding over 7,000 weekly seats to the route which is operated by a Boeing 737 with 3-3 seating.
Launch dates will align with flight inaugurals slated for the third week of December.
“We're excited to connect Canadians to popular sun destinations and a growing portfolio of resorts Canadians know and love,” said Nicole Bursey, President of Flair Vacations.
“Travel advisors are well versed in selling these destinations and we’re looking forward to being a partner they can count on to deliver value.”
It's not surprising that Flair's vacation arm is announcing its first destinations immediately after the airline made its new commission structure announcement last week. Bursey, an industry veteran who formerly helmed sales at Transat, is known for her understanding and championing of the value of advisors to travellers.
“We know this industry runs on relationships, and that those relationships have to be earned,” she added.
“We’re looking forward to getting in front of advisors, listening to what they need and giving them a strong lineup of sun destinations and resorts they’ll be excited to propose to their clients.”
Here's the full list of origins and destinations, as published by Flair:
