Sun Country Airlines on Tuesday announced new summer seasonal service between Minneapolis/St Paul (MSP) and London-Stansted (STN), with a stop to top off the tanks at Gander, Newfoundland (YQX).

The flights will be operated for Sun Country Vacations and will depart Minneapolis/St Paul on Fridays, returning from Stansted on Sundays. The flights will operate from June 11th through August 15th and will be operated by Sun Country’s B737-800 equipment, featuring both first class and economy seating. Stansted, Britains 3rd largest airport, is a large hub for European low cost giants Ryanair and Easyjet and provides access to over 160 destinations in 34 countries. A train station below the terminal offers service to central London every 15 minutes.

Fares start at $399 each way, which a brief glance at the travel search engines tells us is a solid margin less than Delta’s nonstop service to London-Heathrow (LHR).

Asta e 399+taxe (inca vreo 150), deci ajungi la 1100 return... Nici nu se merita asa ceva, cand gasesti cu Delta de la MSP sub 1000. La pretul asta... nu va tine mult ruta.

M'am uitat si eu pe site Delta si erau destul de multe in jur de 1200 dolari. E adevarat ca mai gasesti din cand in cand la aprox 1075 dolari, dar e cam pretul celor de la Sun. Nu am gasit in aceeasi perioada sub 1000.

Astia mizeaza foarte mult pe faptul ca serviciul e doar vara, cand vor fi destui care vor calatori cu ei in vacanta. (cred eu...)

L.E. Am gasit la Air France mai ieftin (cu escala la CDG) = in jur de 880 euro.

Asa e, dar cel putin eu, cu cat zbor mai putin cu atat mai bine... Nu are rost sa-mi petrec 15 ore in avion / aeroport cand pot petrece doar 8 sau 9. Pentru mine zborurile directe merita sa dau 100-200 dolari in plus... Si sa nu trebuiasca sa zbor prin SUA... conteaza si mai mult...
