Sun Country Airlines has introduced a new nonstop flight connecting Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, offering the only direct route between Minnesota and New Hampshire. The weekly service, starting this week, utilizes a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, providing convenient travel for both leisure and business passengers.
Sun Country Airlines flight attendants have authorized their union to initiate a strike if necessary, but the airline assures customers that travel will not be impacted. Negotiations for a new contract are ongoing, and the airline remains optimistic about reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.
Flight attendants at Sun Country Airlines, represented by Teamsters Local 120, have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, citing stalled contract negotiations and lagging wages compared to other airlines. The union says they are prepared to take action if a fair contract isn’t reached by September’s mediation session.
Sun Country Airlines has expanded its flight booking schedule through April 29, 2025, to cater to travelers planning their winter holidays, spring breaks, and December getaways in advance. The revised schedule includes increased flight frequencies to popular destinations throughout the season. This winter season marks the airline’s most extensive schedule to date, with a record number of flights and seats available from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
On May 12, 2024, Sun Country Airlines inaugurated its direct service from Washington, D.C. to Minneapolis, Minnesota, with the inaugural flight taking off from Gate B49 at Dulles International Airport. The service will operate three times a week in the spring, six times weekly during the summer peak, and four times weekly in the fall.
