Here comes the sun: Swoop now operating flights to sunny destinations out of London
If the cold temperatures, off-and-on snowfall and lack of sun are making you feel like a Grinch, then perhaps you’re in need of a tropical gateway. Beginning Saturday, two new routes are operating out of London, Ont. to sun-filled destinations in the U.S. and Mexico.
According to a press release from Swoop Airlines, beginning Saturday, two new non-stop routes have now begun operating out of London International Airport for the winter season.

The new routes via Swoop join existing sun destination routes of out of London International Airport, such as Tucson, Arizona on Flair Airlines and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on Air Transat.
