Sun Country Airlines has decided to team up with the Mall of America in Minneapolis / St. Paul to offer travel packages to the British next summer.  Sun Country plans to fly their Minneapolis – London route again (via Gander, New Foundland each way).  Flights will begin late May and continue until the first part of September.

This year, the route will fly to London Gatwick airport.  Last year, it flew to London – Stansted and pitched the connection possibilities with European discounters Ryanair and easyjet.   This year’s seasonal service will offer twice weekly service compared to once a week last year.

As for the travel packages to the Mall of America, I actually do think that might work well for them.  The US dollar is seriously devalued right now and there isn’t much hope of seeing it rise against the British Pound (or the Euro for that matter.)  It makes shopping here cheap.

And, frankly, Minneapolis / St. Paul is one fine place to visit in the summer anyway.
