Austin’s Only Non-Stop Flights to Punta Cana Coming June 2018

ATLANTA, April 24, 2018 -- In just six short weeks, Vacation Express will launch the first and only non-stop flights to the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana from Austin Bergstrom International Airport. These flights are part of a six-night program with flights departing every Monday from June 4 to August 6, 2018.

Vacation Express’ Caribbean program to begin in just six weeks

Previously, travelers in the Austin area had to drive to Houston to take advantage of Vacation Express’ non-stop flight program to Punta Cana, but as the Austin airport has expanded alongside the strong support for non-stop service to a destination located in the deep Caribbean, the decision to bring this popular program to the heart of Texas was simple.  “Over the past three years that Vacation Express has provided our exclusive, non-stop 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.

Vacation Express’ non-stop flights are operated by Swift Air, LLC. on a Boeing 737 series aircraft. These value-packed flights enable travelers to sit back and relax while enjoying a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage and snack. Each traveler is permitted one free carry-on bag and the option to upgrade to a money-saving deal. Money-saving bundles start at only $45 each way with the Preferred Plus upgrade which includes two complimentary alcoholic beverages, a snack box, roomy front-row seating and a checked bag weighing up to 50lbs. For those who like to travel in style, there is also an option for First Class for just $99 each way which includes the same benefits of Preferred Plus but with roomy 2x2 seating with extra legroom plus priority check-in and boarding.

Travelers can purchase roundtrip airfare, but most prefer to bundle air with an all-inclusive resort. Packages to Punta Cana can be booked online at VACATIONEXPRESS.com, by calling 1-800-309-4717 or through a local travel agent.
