Air Canada has announced that it will resume flights to Mexico, Cuba, and other Caribbean destinations that were previously suspended due to the agreement with the Canadian government to ground most sun flights during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The airline updated its schedule online for June and July, which has several new routes added to popular sun destinations from Toronto and Montreal.

Where will flights be resuming?

Cuba:

Air Canada will resume its weekly flight to Varadero and Cayo Coco starting July 3 from Toronto and Montreal.

Cuba has made it easier for Canadian tourists to visit by removing the pre-flight PCR testing requirement for Canadian visitors and making it easy for Canadians to get the pre-flight PCR test they need to return home.

Cancun, Mexico:

On June 26th, Air Canada will resume flights to Cancun, Mexico four times a week from Toronto and Montreal.

Cancun has been one of the most popular destinations for travelers during the Covid-19 pandemic, setting a record high in March with 1.5 million visitors.

Dominican Republic

Flights to Punta Canada, Dominican Republic will resume four times a week from Toronto and Montreal starting on June 26th.

The Dominican Republic has been another one of the top destinations for Americans this past winter, making it easy for tourists to visit with no quarantine and free insurance.

Jamaica

Flights will resume to Montego Bay, Jamaica five times a week on July 1st from Toronto only.

While Jamaica is open for tourism, it’s not as easy to visit compared to Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Since opening, they have added new testing rules and mandatory insurance for travelers visiting the country.

Bermuda

Weekly flights to Bermuda will resume on July 3rd from Toronto only.

Bermuda is open for tourism but has some of the strictest travel requirements in the Caribbean, including five tests and a quarantine.
