Tourists Told To Suck It Up
Well, we paraphrase. But that’s essentially what Sun Country Airlines told their return ticket holders trying to leave Cabo. The flight to Minneapolis/ST Paul was canceled due to bad weather there. That one day’s delay caused what would have been the next flight to be canceled until next high season. Turns out the plane was needed for the start of Sun Country’s summer routes.
