Fezmid Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Just wondering if anyone has flown Sun Country airlines before? We usually fly Northwest, and while we have no problem with them, the cost to fly to San Diego for our trip this May is about $150/person more than Sun Country. That's not a small chunk of change, so I'm thinking about doing it but have never been on the airline before. Thoughts? CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I've never even heard of Sun Country airline. It sounds more like orange juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started in 1983 Sun Country Airlines opinions More reviews Current articles 592082[/snapback] Those reviews are all ancient... Minneapolis is one of their hubs, and they flight direct to SD, so that's why I'm looking at it. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Those reviews are all ancient... 592144[/snapback] The ones at Epinions, yes. But the ones from Airline Quality are newer, even from the last couple months. I'd be willing to give them a try myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we might go for it to save some money. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Go ahead fez...save a few bucks. What's the worst that could happen? I got smashed with one of their pilots at the airport bar last month and he swore by the airlines. Then he vomited...but I'm sure it was an off day.

That's the sign of a good pilot. The ones that pass out spell trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts?CW 592052[/snapback] I'm going to be of no more help than the rest of the bastards here (except for Jack...he's always helpful). But, any airline that offers an alternative to Northworst is worth a shot, in my book. i feel the same way about Delta. United (untied) sucks, too. Have i mentioned how much i despise American and US Scareways? I am, however, a BIG fan of JetBlue. i wish they flew more places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because the headquarters are here? Not sure, but they've always been good. That said, to save $200-$250, I think I'll try SunCountry.
