“A slap in the face”: Agents fire back at Sunwing over commission recalls, offers

January 27, 2023 admin

Canadian travel advisors are firing back at Sunwing over a memo issued to the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA) on Wednesday (Jan. 25) stating that the tour operator will not protect commissions on flights that it cancels.

In a statement posted to LinkedIn yesterday, Jamie Angus-Milton, president of Saskatoon, SK-based Uniglobe Carefree Travel Group, called the decision “short-sighted” as Sunwing continues to remove flights in her city.

Saskatchewan, notably, was the first province to experience widespread cancellations when Sunwing, on Dec. 29, suddenly announced it would be suspending all service in the province up until (and including)

Nova Scotia family’s Disney World trip grounded after Sunwing quietly reduces service

January 16, 2023 admin

A Nova Scotia family is upset after Sunwing cancelled their March break flight to Orlando, Fla., with little explanation.

Kevin Hindle said he and his wife made the decision at the end of October to take their daughter, son-in-law, and their two kids to Disney World and booked their flights and accommodations through Sunwing.

The trip was announced to the grandkids, aged five and seven, as a Christmas present. They got Disney-themed backpacks and personal invitations from Disney characters.

“(My granddaughter) jumps off the couch and starts dancing — ‘We’re going to Disney! We’re going to Disney!’” said Hindle.

For this Regina family, rebooking their Sunwing Cuba vacation meant adding a drive to Winnipeg

January 11, 2023 admin

New Year’s and Christmas are in the rear-view, but travel headaches reported by scores of Sunwing passengers around the holidays continue.

After having an early January flight cancelled and then refunded through the company, a Regina family said they booked another flight to Cuba through Sunwing for later this month.

The catch, said Lisa Adams-Krahenbil, is the only flight out leaves from Winnipeg — a six-hour-drive from home.

“I did ask when they offered the Winnipeg flight, I said, well, will you pay the gas to get to Winnipeg? And they said no,” said Adams-Krahenbil.

“It’s all basically out-of-pocket if

Canadian government ‘concerned’ with Sunwing meltdown | News

December 29, 2022 admin

The Canadian government is criticising leisure specialist Sunwing Vacations after an operational meltdown left hundreds of passengers stuck when winter weather disrupted the carrier’s operations earlier this week.

The Toronto-based company, like its US peer Southwest Airlines, has been scrambling to sort through the mess, leaving customers frustrated and angry. Canadian media reports that some of the carrier’s passengers have been waiting to be repatriated from Latin American holiday destinations including Cancun for up to five days.

“I am very concerned with the current situation with Sunwing Airlines,” Canada’s minister of transport Omar Alghabra wrote on 28 December on Twitter.
