Sun Country Airlines

[Born2Travel]

Has anyone flown Sun Country Airlines or have knowledge about them? They are new here and we are wondering if we should try them for a short flight.

From Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Country_Airlines

“Sun Country Airlines is a United States-based low-cost airline headquartered in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul suburb of Eagan, Minnesota[1]and based at nearby Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The airline operates 70 routes, mostly between leisure destinations in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Caribbean. Sun Country operates its main operations in their hometown of Minneapolis. Sun Country also operates flights from Dallas/Fort Worth, which serves as a focus city for the airline. The airline has recently made additions to its route network, expanding into markets other than Minneapolis such as Portland and Nashville and has built more point-to-point routes. It operates scheduled and charter flights to destinations in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Caribbean as well as ad hoc charters.”

Sun Country is based out of the Twin Cities of MSP. They have changed their MO in that they are now an economy airline with all the extra charges for checked bags/carry on charges. I used to fly them before the change and thought they were a decent airline. I have since dropped their ccard and moved on.

My view is similar to mas's. We used to use them for our timeshare vacations in St. Maarten, because they did flights on Saturdays that worked with our weeks. They had decent service, reasonable (but not barebones) costs. But with their switch to being a strictly bargain airline, we'd rather use Delta.

Their current CEO used to run Allegient, another no frills carrier that primarily flew to places like Vegas. When he arrived, they moved quickly to that model. Sun Country has been in bankruptcy twice, once when they were owned by Tom Petters, Minnesota's version of Bernie Maddoff, and the courts were trying to find money to repay the folks he's scammed.

This doesn't sound very good. I guess we'll pass. Thanks for the responses.

I flew them this summer for the first time -- San Diego to Cabo. No problems. Just saw they have a new route starting soon out of Palm Springs to San Francisco. If their price is competitive, I will have no problem booking with them.
