EDMONTON — Flair Airlines is starting its new vacation package business in its home province, with sun getaways from Edmonton and Calgary to Mexico now available to book.

The airline’s new Flair Vacations brand is launching with packages that combine roundtrip Flair flights, resort accommodations and transfers in Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. Each package also includes a checked bag and carry-on at no additional charge.

“Alberta is home to Flair, so it felt right to launch Flair Vacations here first,” said Nicole Bursey, President of Flair Vacations. “We’ve been looking forward to this moment, and we’re excited to work with travel advisors in Alberta and across Canada to bring more choice, great value and memorable vacations to their clients.”

Travel advisors can currently book packages at several resorts, including Marival Armony Resort, MGallery Collection; Marival Distinct Handwritten Collection; Marival Emotions Resort by Mercure; Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres; Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres; and Sandos Cancun.

Flair says additional resort partners, departure cities and vacation destinations will be added as the brand expands.

“Canadians work hard for their vacations, and we want to help them make the most of every getaway, create lasting memories and enjoy new experiences,” said Len Corrado, CEO of Flair Airlines. “As an airline headquartered in Alberta, it’s especially fitting that we’re bringing Flair Vacations to our home province first, giving Canadians more opportunities to enjoy affordable, convenient vacation packages and take the trips to enjoy the moments that matter most.”

Earlier this September, Flair Vacations announced the expansion of its winter program to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana, Montego Bay and its newest destination, Puerto Plata from five Canadian gateways: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

Travel advisors can sign up for the Vacations Vault newsletter and follow Flair Vacations on Facebook through #FlairVacationsExchange for updates. More information is available at vacations.flyflair.com.
