What:
Air Canada recently announced new nonstop service between four key Canadian hubs and 12 U.S. cities beginning next summer.
Why It Matters:
The new routes will mean more choices for travelers to Canada and better access to all of Air Canada’s hubs, especially connections with major airports of its partner United Airlines. It will also add new destinations to the network, such as Washington, D.C.; Salt Lake City; and San Jose, Calif., as well as new routes, such as Vancouver-Chicago, Montreal-Houston, Montreal-Denver and Calgary-San Francisco.
