Following Canada's decision to not renew its COVID-19 travel restrictions, hassle-free travel is back in action and what better way to take advantage than with a last-minute beach vacation? Imagine your feet in the sand, sounds of the waves and a drink in your hand the all-inclusive life doesn't get any better than that, amirite?
The Sunwing party flight certainly is the gift that keeps on giving! After being issued a total of 24 penalties following the Montreal to Cancun flight on December 30, 2021, Transport Canada has announced that a total of 37 passengers have been issued an additional 18 fines, totalling a whopping $59,500. "The safety and security of travellers and transportation workers is paramount to Transport Canada," the department stated in an April 28 press release. Transport Canada has been investigating the Montreal-Cancun flight for months, having issued an array of fines, and it seems as if there are more penalties to go around.
In a story that just keeps getting delightfully weirder, ex-Montreal mayoral candidate and Mouvement Montréal leader Balarama Holness has challenged Sunwing Party flight guy James William Awad to a five-round MMA fight. Asked by MTL Blog if this was an April Fools joke, Holness replied, "no it is not. 100% serious." So this is where we're at now.
