In order to maximize value for travel agents’ customers, Travel Impressions reports it is taking to the skies with Dedicated Vacation Flights to Jamaica, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic with service via AeroMexico, AirTran Airways, Frontier Airlines and JetBlue.
Dedicated Vacation Flights are typically non-stop with schedules that allow vacationers to spend more time at their resort, Travel Impressions (TI) says. Available from 24 gateways across the U.S., from origin points such as JFK to smaller airports including Bradley International in Hartford, Dedicated Vacation Flights make it easier for agents to quote the ideal package for their clients at the competitive rates they need to close the sale, TI said.

As a direct result of Apple Leisure Group’s acquisition of Travel Impressions in 2013, Travel Impressions said it can take advantage of all of the ALG company offerings to broaden their portfolio and better serve the travel agent community. The introduction of the Dedicated Vacation Flights brand is the latest addition which offers Travel Impressions’ passengers greater access to convenient departures, group space inventory and change flexibility.
“Dedicated Vacation Flights offer vacationers nonstop service on new generation aircraft from major US airports,” said Tim Mullen, president of Travel Impressions. “The convenience of Travel Impressions’ Dedicated Vacation Flights means vacationers can be on the beach enjoying their vacations faster than ever.”
Travel Impressions’ Dedicated Vacation Flights out of JFK in New York City feature daily service to Montego Bay, Cancun and Punta Cana, while operating twice per week (on Wednesdays and Saturdays) to La Romana and Samana in the Dominican Republic and four times per week to Liberia International Airport in Costa Rica (on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays).
Caribbean-bound clients departing from Philadelphia can access Cancun on Thursdays and Sundays (as well as Saturdays beginning Feb. 8), with Punta Cana service offered from Philadelphia on Mondays and Fridays. Dedicated Vacation Flights to Puerto Vallarta are also available from Philadelphia on Saturdays.
