WHY IT RATES: With this union of Funjet and Southwest Airlines, travelers get flexibility and convenience at a low price, while agents get low deposits and maximum commissions. - Michael Isenbek, TravelPulse Senior Editor


Funjet Vacations announced the launch of a new scheduled air service offering nonstop, daily value flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Cancun (CUN) and Puerto Vallarta (PVR) on Southwest Airlines. Service to the destinations will be available for travel from Feb. 1-Dec. 31, 2017.

The new service from Los Angeles to Cancun and Puerto Vallarta will operate daily, providing customers convenient travel choices seven days per week.

Daily value flights offer the best nonstop value for both travel agents and their customers. For travel agents, these flight options offer unique benefits, such as low deposits and maximum commission earned on both air and hotel portions of the package. Consumers receive maximum flight and cancellation flexibility paired with the lowest priced vacation options available.

The new service will also provide the convenience and comfort of flying directly from Los Angeles. To celebrate the launch, travel agents will earn 15 percent commission on all bookings through the new service and their customers will receive two free checked bags.

"We are excited to expand our services by offering convenient flight options right out of Los Angeles," said Mark Noennig, executive vice president of Travel Agency Engagement at The Mark Travel Corporation.

"Not only do these new flights out of LAX represent an investment and expansion into the Southern Californian and West Coast markets for our organization, but it also gives both travel agents and consumers direct access to two of our top destinations coupled with the flexibility of Southwest Airlines flight options."

The new Southwest Airlines flights with Funjet packages, which are purchased exclusively through travel agents, add to the additional flights offered through Funjet Vacations from over 70 scheduled air carriers across the country.
