Air Canada has announced that it will introduce a new seasonal non-stop service operated by Air Canada rouge between Vancouver and Palm Springs, Calif., this winter. Flights to the ‘Golf Capital of the World’ will be operated with Air Canada rouge Airbus A319 aircraft featuring three customer comfort options: rouge, rouge Plus with preferred seating offering additional legroom, and Premium rouge with additional personal space and enhanced service. To promote this new route, Air Canada is offering savings of 20 per cent on bookings made by Aug. 7, 2014 by using the promotion code “Palm20”. Flights are available for purchase at www.aircanada.com
“We are pleased to add Palm Springs to our route network of winter holiday choices,” said Benjamin Smith, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Air Canada. “Offering world class golf, tennis, arts, culture, entertainment and shopping, Palm Springs joins Las Vegas and Phoenix as three of the top U.S. leisure desert playgrounds served by Air Canada rouge this winter. Air Canada rouge is best suited to compete more cost effectively in these markets where there is both a high leisure travel demand and low-cost competition.”
Air Canada rouge flights between Vancouver and Palm Springs, Calif. will begin Dec. 18, 2014 and will operate three times weekly until April 12, 2015. Flights have been timed to connect conveniently at Air Canada’s Vancouver hub to and from our extensive Western Canada network.
Air Canada will continue to evaluate future market opportunities as new aircraft are introduced into its mainline fleet and existing aircraft are released for operation by Air Canada rouge as market demand warrants. Since the launch in July 2013 of Air Canada rouge, Air Canada has deployed its leisure carrier to a growing number of Caribbean, Mexico, Europe and select sun destinations in the United States.
