6 sunny destinations to visit in 2023 with flights under $300* right now

Winters are beautiful. But just because we love the cold doesn’t mean we aren’t up for swapping the chilly Canadian winter with a sunny destination for a few days. Especially if we get to spend those days chilling at a beach with the whole fam. And looks like Air Canada has the answer to our prayers.

The airline recently launched its Seize the Sun campaign. And they dropped some unreal flight deals and vacation packages to top sun destinations.

You can choose from over 50 sun destinations across the US, the Caribbean and Mexico. And you’ll find flight fares starting at $170. Meaning lounging on a beach in Florida or surfing the Costa Rican shores isn’t going to break the bank. 

Here are the top 6 destinations you can visit with flights under $300!
