“ Sunwing Price Increase - Yikes ”
07 July 2012, 11:02
Were planning our winter 2013 vacation to Dreams Huatulco - it's a bit too soon for us to commit to an exact date but have been price watching while we wait to get the gang's final plans together (group of 9+) and Holy-Price-Hike Batman!!!, Sunwing has increased the price by $300 per person for the dates we were looking at.
Any seasoned travellers or TA's out there who can comment on whether we missed out on the cheaper price or can we expect the price to drop again? This is really disappointing, part of our group includes students who won't be able to cough-up the extra $300 each :-(

oh Sunwing.....when are you going....jan? feb?....
Have you looked at Air Canada...now flying out ofToronto(starting end of Dec) and packages are available....or air only.
you might want to check air only and then see what the hotel only rate is through sunwing (some of the hotel only rates with them are quite good...depends on hotel though), or the site i look at, travel last minute dot com and check out hotel only prices--they book through sunwing but seem to offer better prices....
good luck...Sunwing is uppredictable but maybe with the air canada competition the prices may come down...

Air Canada Vacations is flying this winter on Saturdays to Huatulco from Toronto. You may want to inquire about their prices.

We fly out of Toronto and looked at AirCanada vacations, but they don't offer Dreams which is our choice resort. Secrets would be our second choice but with teenagers in the mix an adults only resort isn't an option. Guess we'll keep an eye on the price, hopefully it will drop again or another tour operator will offer Dreams Huatulco and spark a price-war.

The introductory pricing for this season by ACV is good at least for air only. I have heard on other posts on TA that that package pricing is good. Also its a direct flight which is a bonus.
