Air Canada announced today it is increasing its U.S. transborder flights from western Canada with the introduction of new non-stop flights to Las Vegas and to Palm Springs this fall.

Tickets are now available for purchase at aircanada.com or through travel agents. Destinations are eligible for travel through Air Canada's multi-trip Flight Passes.

"We are pleased to offer customers in Western Canada the convenience of more non-stop flights to two of the most popular destinations in the United States," said Ben Smith, Air Canada's vice president responsible for network planning at Air Canada and Jazz. "With the arrival of new aircraft in our North American fleets, we are able to strategically launch new routes responding to strong demand in Western Canada."
