Cancun, which is on the coast of the Yucatán peninsula, is one of Mexico’s leading tourist destinations and the gateway to the resorts of the Playa Car and Riviera Maya to the south.

In particular, we are delighted to have the opportunity to operate our programme on a Thomson Airways 787 Dreamliner. We believe that the range of exclusive holidays we will be offering coupled with this state-of-the-art jet will be well received by Irish holiday makers. The full programme will be unveiled and available to book from next month.”
