ATLANTA, Dec. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vacation Express is introducing new, four-night rotations to Punta Cana from New Orleans.

The Dominican Republic is one of the hottest destinations in the Caribbean and Vacation Express already offers a six-night Punta Cana program departing every Friday from May 18, 2018 to July 27, 2018 in addition to a seven-night Cancun program which flies every Sunday from May 20, 2018 to July 29, 2018. The popularity of Punta Cana is indisputable, and there has been strong feedback to offer a shorter program for those who may not be able to take a full week’s vacation.

"We are very excited to have Vacation Express back in 2018 with service from MSY to Cancun and Punta Cana," said Kevin Dolliole, Director of Aviation for Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. "With this additional service to Punta Cana, travelers have another option for experiencing an exciting Caribbean vacation.”

Flights to Punta Cana will be operated by Swift Air, LLC. on a Boeing 737-400 aircraft. The value-packed flights will enable travelers to sit back and relax while enjoying a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage and snack. Each traveler will be permitted one free carry-on bag and the option to purchase add-ons like Preferred Seating starting at $25 or First Class upgrades at $99 each way which includes two by two seating, extra legroom, two alcoholic beverages, a snack pack and a checked bag weighing up to 50lbs. Flights to Cancun will also be operated by Swift Air, LLC. and more details on in-flight amenities can be found on vacationexpress.com.

Travelers can purchase roundtrip airfare, but most travelers are booking vacation packages with air and staying at all-inclusive resorts. Vacation packages can be booked online at VACATIONEXPRESS.com, by calling 1-800-309-4717 or through a local travel agent.
