Sunwing Airlines is officially done and it could change how Quebecers fly down south

Quebec's go-to airline for affordable beach getaways just flew its final flight.

That's right, as of this week, Sunwing Airlines no longer exists. On Wednesday, the WestJet Group officially folded the low-cost carrier into its operations, meaning all future Sunwing flights will now be operated by WestJet planes and crews.

Sunwing Settled A Class Action About Fake Champagne & Some Quebecers Can Get Flight Discounts

If you were promised champagne on a Sunwing flight between 2014 and 2017, you could be entitled to a Sunwing discount. A Quebec court has approved a settlement in a class action lawsuit that alleged the airline advertised champagne to Quebec customers but only served sparkling wine.

The problem, plaintiffs argued, is that the designation "champagne" is protected, meaning it can only be applied to select products that meet specific standards of production. Sparkling wine, they said, is a lesser product. The plaintiffs therefore charged that Sunwing violated the Quebec Consumer Protection Act.
