New Englanders Weather the Storm and Plan Summer Escapes to Caribbean

Iftikhar Ahmad, President and CEO of RIAC, said, "The addition of this non-stop route to Cancun, Mexico is a great win for our community. We appreciate Vacation Express's confidence in Rhode Island." 

Green Airport has seen tremendous growth as an international hub within the past few years, and as New Englanders deal with the harsh winter weather, these new non-stop flights to Cancun are an even more exciting draw.

Vacation Express' non-stop flights are operated by Swift Air, LLC. on Boeing 737-300 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 $39 each way with the Preferred Plus upgrade which includes two complimentary alcoholic beverages, a snack box, roomy front-row seating and a free checked bag weighing up to 44lbs.

Travelers can purchase roundtrip airfare for $399* with all taxes included, but most prefer to bundle air with an all-inclusive resort starting at $999* in Cancun and $889* in Riviera Maya, with kids under 12 staying free at some resorts.^† Packages to Cancun can be booked online at VACATIONEXPRESS.com, by calling 1-800-309-4717 or through a local travel agent.
