LANSING, Mich.— Apple Vacations announced they are returning their international Exclusive Nonstop Vacations Flights (ENVFs) service to the Capital Region International Airport (LAN) for the 2026 season. ALG Vacations (ALGV) brands Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations, and Travel Impressions are now taking reservations for nonstop flights from LAN to three very popular destinations: Cancun, Mexico; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; and new for 2026 to Los Cabos, Mexico. The nonstop service begins Jan. 24, 2026, and runs through April 1, 2026.
Designed with travelers in mind, ENVFs optimize beach time with early arrivals and late departures. The flights will be operated by GlobalX utilizing spacious and comfortable Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft.
New for 2026 is the addition of nonstop flights to Los Cabos, Mexico. Nestled at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos is a premier resort destination, featuring golden beaches, world-class golf, vibrant nightlife and breathtaking winter whale sightings. Beyond relaxing on the beautiful beaches, Cabo is the Marlin Capital of the world, making sportfishing a must-do activity for all skill levels.
“We are so thrilled that Apple Vacations will be back to LAN next year and are especially excited to have a new destination for 2026 – Los Cabos, Mexico,” said Nicole Noll-Williams, president and CEO of the Capital Region Airport Authority (CRAA). “These nonstop flights to Mexico and the Dominican Republic are another reminder that LAN is a gateway to popular vacation destinations around the world.”
Beginning Jan. 24, 2026, nonstop flights from LAN to Cancun will depart three times weekly – Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays. Nonstop flights from LAN to Punta Cana will depart two times weekly – Sundays and Thursdays. Finally, beginning Jan. 30, 2026 nonstop flights from LAN to Los Cabos will depart once per week on Fridays. Preferred Perks Plus or Premium Class reservations are also offered.
“Lansing and the surrounding region have continued to be a successful market for vacation companies like our Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations, and Travel Impressions brands for many years, and we’re excited to bring this service back to LAN for 2026,” said Ray Snisky, group president, ALGV. “We are grateful that both vacationers and travel advisors alike have helped make this a significant winter gateway to popular vacation destinations like Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and we are pleased to be adding service to Los Cabos for 2026.”
“The return of our international service with Apple Vacations for 2026 is great news for both LAN and the entire region,” said John Shaski, CRAA board chairman. “These international flights draw in passengers from throughout Michigan and our neighboring states, even Canada, and provide convenient and direct access to sunny beach destinations when we need it the most. And, what’s even more exciting for 2026, is the addition of a brand-new destination – Los Cabos, Mexico. Year after year, this air service helps support the local economy and continues to be in high demand, and we are looking forward to continued community support for these flights. It’s never too early to make reservations for a winter-weather escape!”
