Air Canada rouge is the only Canadian carrier offering convenient non-stop service between Toronto and Sarasota and will add 10% more capacity to the route over the coming year.
Sarasota is home to the renowned Ringling Museum and upscale shopping at St. Armand’s Circle. The charming southern city is flanked by the barrier islands Siesta Key, Lido Key and Longboat Key, all featuring a wide variety of condos and resorts that offer a warm winter home to many Canadians.
Sarasota is also known for its culture, with options including opera, theatre, and the symphony. Excellent restaurants abound in the revitalized downtown core and the area is rich with numerous golf courses and attractive shopping malls.
“Sarasota attracts Canadians looking to escape the snowy winter and is a perfect choice for this seasonal service by Air Canada rouge,” said Michael Friisdahl, President & CEO, Air Canada Leisure Group. “Our short non-stop flight makes it ideal for long weekends and golf getaways as well as longer stays in vacation properties and offers customers the convenience of arriving directly in Sarasota, instead of Tampa, an hour away.”
With 7 flights per week out of Toronto, Sarasota’s sheltered Gulf Coast waters provides the perfect family vacation spot and couples will enjoy both charming coastal towns and fine dining.
Choose from 19 hotels in the area offering everything from resort style accommodations to apartments to vacation homes. Sarasota’s rich cultural scene and white-sand beaches are reasons enough to visit this Gulf Coast gem.
