Vacation Express Brings Tampa International Airport Direct Service to Punta Cana

ATLANTA, GA, April 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Vacation Express and Tampa International Airport are delighted to announce the introduction of non-stop flights to Cancun and Punta Cana from Tampa. Flights will depart from TPA every Friday for 6-night vacations starting May 5 through June 9, 2017 for Punta Cana International Airport.

These 6-night vacations are perfect for travelers looking for an easy, convenient and luxurious escape from it all. Travelers from the Tampa Bay area will be able to take advantage of incredible deals on roundtrip airfare and all-inclusive bundles that combine air with a fabulous resort.

The seasonal flights also add to TPA's growing number of international destinations, particularly for leisure travelers, spring and summer getaway seekers and honeymooners.

Flights will be operated by Swift Air, LLC. on a Boeing 737 aircraft. The value-packed flights will enable travelers to sit back and relax while enjoying a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage and snack. Each traveler will be permitted one free carry-on bag and the option to purchase add-ons like Preferred Seating starting at $20 or Elite Plus starting at $39 each way and can bundle options which include checked luggage for the best value.

Travelers can purchase roundtrip airfare, but most travelers are booking 6-night packages with air and staying at all-inclusive resorts starting at $699* in both Punta Cana and Cancun, with kids under 12 staying free at some resorts†. Packages to both destinations can be booked online at VACATIONEXPRESS.com, by calling 1-800-309-4717 or through a local travel agent.
