USA Today: From Buffalo to Bellingham, U.S. airports court Canadian fliers
What did it take for a city the size of Buffalo to land its only nonstop route to California? A bunch of Canadians and cheap jet fuel.
JetBlue announced last week that it would add non-stop service starting this June between Buffalo and Los Angeles, giving Buffalo its only regularly scheduled flight to the West Coast.
One key to making it work, JetBlue says, is to lure Canadians across the border.

I would have thought the weak Canadian dollar would stop the movement across the border, but gather the lower airfares balance that out. The Canadian dollar is at 72 cents today.
