First Published:

Florida snowbirds will now have a new option for flying south this winter from Hamilton International Airport.

NewLeaf Travel Company announced they will offer direct flights operated by Flair Air from Hamilton to Melbourne, Florida starting in January 2017 until the end of April.

“We’re very pleased with NewLeaf’s announcement to introduce low-cost service to Florida operated by Flair Air from Hamilton this winter. Florida is a highly demanded destination for our passengers and we’re thrilled that this new service will be available just in time for the peak of the winter season,” said Vijay Bathija, president and CEO of Hamilton International Airport, in a statement.

The flights start at $99 one-way but because the company operates on a charter license to the U.S. passengers must book a return flight as well.
