Cancun flights hot this season

Apple Vacations’ winter flights to Cancun, Mexico, are packed, Chicago Rockford International Airport officials report. Saturday’s first flight appears sold out, according to Apple’s Web site, and at least five other flights are 90 percent full. There are 16 flights for the season, running through April 12.

“We know we have people from Green Bay to Bloomington taking advantage of our non-stop international service to Cancun, which is truly remarkable,” said Mike Dunn, chairman of the Greater Rockford Airport Authority, in a press release. “We are very pleased with the services provided by Apple Vacations and encourage those in the region who have still not tried our airport, to give it a shot; I think they will be truly impressed with our world-class facilities.”

Airport officials are hoping to parlay that success into twice-weekly flights to Cancun or summer service. I have a call in to Apple officials to see what they have to say.
