Left high and dry: B.C. travellers stranded in Mexico after Sunwing flight cancellations

Stuck in Puerto Vallarta after their Sunwing Airlines flight back to B.C. was cancelled, Dennis Mousseau says his nine-year-old son, Gus, has been crying himself to sleep, not knowing when he will be home.

Other stranded B.C. travellers are running out of medication, said the Qualicum Beach resident. Some are stressed about getting back to work, or finding care for their pets.

An online Sunwing app that had been working is now useless, and people have been cobbling together information from airline representatives who are stationed in hotel lobbies.

“The biggest problem is uncertainty,” said Mousseau.

He is among hundreds of Canadians who were reportedly stranded at various Mexican resort cities after Sunwing cancelled their flights home.
