In addition to Montréal and Toronto, the schedule extension includes eight new domestic, seasonal nonstop routes from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to:
- Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), New Mexico

Service to the new destinations will generally be twice weekly with service to Dulles four times a week. With these new destinations, Sun Country will offer nonstop service from MSP to 98 distinct markets in 2024.
“Sun Country prides itself on being the leisure airline of choice for MSP customers,” said Grant Whitney, senior vice president and chief revenue officer for Sun Country. “We have more than doubled our nonstop destinations for customers flying out of MSP in the last five years and we are thrilled to offer these unique new offerings spanning the continent from Quebec to New Mexico.”
Sun Country will also continue its seasonal service to the cities it launched in summer 2023. In addition, beginning in spring 2024, Houston flights will use William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) rather than George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport (IAH).
