Porter Escapes packages with Michael Bublé in Chicago

TORONTO, May 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Porter Escapes is pleased to announce exclusive packages for Michael Bublé fans to see him live in Chicago at the first stop of his U.S. tour.

Packages include roundtrip airfare from available Porter Airlines gateway cities to Chicago, tickets to the show on Saturday, September 7, 2013, and autographed "To Be Loved" Michael Bublé CDs. Hotel accommodation is at either The Fairmont Millennium Park, W Chicago Lakeshore or W Chicago City Center.

"This is a great opportunity to offer our travellers something not available anywhere else to see one of the world's most popular performers," said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Escapes.

Porter Escapes packages are built around Porter Airlines destinations, combining flights and hotel accommodations with unique experiences.

"Michael Bublé is absolutely incredible in concert, and his fans are extremely loyal. The Chicago show is going to be an extra special event, as it's the first show of Michael's major U.S. tour - a very hot ticket indeed," said Dale Kotyk, V.P. Marketing at Warner Music Canada. "We applaud Porter Escapes for making such an innovative package available to Canadian consumers." 

Bublé's "To Be Loved" was released April 22 in Canada, and debuted at number one on charts around the globe. The new recording has spent its first three weeks of release atop the Canadian charts.

"The ability to support Canadian entertainment and culture, such as Michael Bublé, is an important part of what we want to offer at Porter Escapes," said John Kirk, director of vacations and packaged products. This is the perfect excuse to escape to Chicago."
