Conclusion
It will be up to you to check the price difference between buying a Sun Flight Pass or a regular round-trip flight. For some Caribbean destinations, $550 per person is a bargain.
For example, see this round-trip to Martinique for 4 people during the holiday season (December 19, 2020, to January 02, 2021). Of course, as things stand, there is a mandatory quarantine when you come back to Canada.
The cost of this Sun Flight Pass is $2,209 for 4 passengers. While the public fare is $3,658!
Knowing that there are 15 months to use this pass (which brings to January 2022), this leaves some time to book. With the hope, of course, that the situation of COVID-19 will improve significantly in 2021.
