Sun seekers attempting to escape Vancouver"™s wintertime gloom will have a new stop-less flight to a coastal Central American destination to choose from starting this year.
A new non-stop, direct flight service operated by Sunwing Airlines between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Liberia in Costa Rica will commence on December 23, 2018 and operate on a seasonal basis until March 31, 2019. Flights to Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport will depart weekly on Sundays.
This will be Vancouver"™s first and only direct service to Costa Rica, and it is expected to use the new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
"We are thrilled to welcome Sunwing"™s new service to Liberia, Costa Rica, which marks YVR"™s first non-stop, direct flight to this popular Latin American destination," said Anne Murray, YVR"™s Vice President of Airline Business Development and Public Affairs, in a statement.
"Sunwing"™s new service to Costa Rica will support our mission to connect British Columbia proudly to the world, providing passengers with an exciting opportunity to visit a great country"”known for its amazing biodiversity, incredible attractions and friendly people."
Liberia is located on the northwestern Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is one of the country"™s top tourism hubs. The new flight service coincides with the opening of the new Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Costa Rica in Liberia later this year.
This follows last year"™s launch of Sunwing"™s non-stop, direct flight service from YVR to Montego Bay, Jamaica…
