“Known as the Twin Cities, Minneapolis-St. Paul is an incredibly diverse area with an abundance of cultural attractions, outdoor recreation, and world-class shopping,” says YVR. “The addition of this new route adds another great travel option for Canadians looking for a summer getaway, all while furthering YVR’s position as a world-class sustainable hub airport.”
Vancouver International Airport adds that Sun Country Airlines is an “award-winning airline” and a “leader in leisure travel.” This is also the airlines’ first-ever route to Canada in the company’s 36-year-history.
Fights to Minneapolis-St. Paul will begin on May 20, 2020, taking place on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
