MSPers who have flown Sun Country recently

[zulaya]

Your comments please? Haven't flown SC for a few years, since just after they became a regular airline. I got sick of the constantly changing time schedule and that they changed my nonstop to a one stop so I haven't been back since.

How have the schedules been? Did the times change significantly (more than 1 hour) on either the flight down or back? I can deal with a few minutes here and there, but it's the significant changes that irritate me the most.

I know that they can have some great non stop fares, but my past experiences have been holding me back.

So I'd like the good, the bad and the ugly, as honest as it gets. I'd love to get a good deal, but if the experience is more likely to be shaky, I'll continue to bite the bullet and watch for deal on NWA.

We have flown Sun Country twice this year. In May from MSP to Orlando and in July from MSP to Las Vegas. We had no trouble with them either time. The flight time for Orlando changed by 15 minutes, but we had lots of notice on that. We love flying out of Humphrey and if you print off your boarding passes at home you can check your luggage at the curb and it took all of 5 minutes both times we were there. (We did have 7am flights both times though) In December we flew NWA to Orlando and the price was better than Sun Country, but Lindberg is a bigger headache to get in and out of.

Hi zulaya! I flew Sun Country just once in 2004, and in March will fly them again. I am not a Sun Country loyalist, but will fly whatever carrier will get me where I want to go the cheapest. My last experience with SC was a good one. Online booking and checkin was easy. When we got to HH, we decided to see if we could pay to upgrade to first class which we were able to do. SC will allow you to upgrade to first class the day of your flight for $75 pp, if seats are available. We did the same thing on our return flight. Anyway, our flights were on time (no schedule changes on either leg), the planes in great shape, and the service good. I personally love flying out of HH; it is a nice terminal.

We flew Sun Country last August and have them booked for June 2005, both to MCO. I always check them first and will fly them whenever I can.

Our flight times changed by 30 minutes, but no big deal. We also had plenty of notice.

I love the online check in up to 24 hrs in advance where you can choose your seat, no more getting there super early to get good seats.

I would recommend them.
