I guess these will all be EM90 flights. WOW that will drain the tanks on the plane going to SAN

perhaps these are code shares with CO?

PDX is an E90; SAN/SNA are 319s. CVG/MEM are CRJs and PWM/SYR are Beeches.

Interesting alternative to LAX. I just checked the reservation system and I'm still showing YYZ to SAN via DEN/ORD/SFO, etc. I guess this will take a little while to kick in, etc.

Actually nice to see SYR added to the list. Saves me the 4 hour drive.

I never under stood how Rochester had flights, but Syracuse did not

Great news from Toronto's National Airline.

Someone said the other day; its so great AC has so many flights from YUL/YYZ; yea thats because all flights leave from YYZ.

RCyyz · Jan 27, 10, 9:17 am

None of these are places I see myself travelling to, but it is good to see AC expand their network.

I do still shudder at the thought of the transborder security rituals at YYZ though. This is the only reason I'm not going to the US.

I hope none of the passengers get mixed up and end up on the wrong plane to the wrong Portland! I heard of an incident once where someone was headed to Saint John, NB and ended up in St. John's, NL instead!

Indeed. YEG gets a daily to LAX and a couple weekly LAS flights. At least the US carriers provide decent schedules and choice here.

At least those are both in the same region - how about SYD and YQY!
