The company is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and began its operation in 1989 offering air/land vacation packages to Jamaica. The company introduced its first charter flight to Cancun from Atlanta in 1992. Throughout the 1990's, Vacation Express rapidly grew to become the premier charter operator in the Southeast and Midwestern part of the US. During this growth decade, Vacation Express added an extensive scheduled air program to the Caribbean, Mexico and Costa Rica from most U.S. cities.
