Sun Country Airlines is flying to Jamaica from the midwest US city of Milwaukee early next year as well as the Dominican Republic, starting mid-December 2024.

These two new flights to the Caribbean will be seasonal out of the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. The non-stop flights between Milwaukee and the Caribbean destinations are to Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic and Montego Bay, Jamaica.

The flights will commence in mid-December 2024 up until early April 2025.

The flights to Punta Cana will begin on December 26, and run through to April 7, 2025. 

Increase service to four times weekly

Initially, those flights will run twice per week then subsequently double. The flights to Montego Bay will begin January 25 and will operate twice a week through April 5.

In a press release announcing the new Caribbean flights, airport director Brian Dranzik says, “Jamaica and the Dominican Republic are popular winter destinations for Milwaukee-based travellers, and we’re pleased Sun Country is providing additional low-fare options to these family-friendly warm weather destinations.” 

Sun Country is also expanding its other seasonal flights during the winter season.

The airline will begin daily service during the winter and spring break season to Cancun, Mexico with nonstop flights to Fort Myers, Florida; Orlando; and Phoenix on peak travel days.

The airline also offers nonstop flights to Las Vegas and Minneapolis-St. Paul from Milwaukee.

Sun Country Airlines’ senior vice president and chief revenue officer, Grant Whitney comments, “We are excited to bring more winter service to Milwaukee. Milwaukee travellers will love Punta Cana and Montego Bay, in addition to the return of service to Cancun. Sun Country will offer eight total destinations and will offer the most international flights from Milwaukee.”
