It’s never been truer that Vancouver is an unbeatable gateway to North America, with daily Air Canada flights from Sydney and Brisbane, and connections to destinations across Canada and the USA.

Here are some insights into why your North American-bound customers should be flying with Air Canada.

It’s all about networking

Air Canada operates to more than 60 destinations across Canada and more than 50 US cities.

It’s a US network that growing fast. In fact Air Canada launched 12 new trans-border flights in 2016, and is gearing up to take another seven to the skies in 2017.

The flights out of Australia to Vancouver operate daily out of both Sydney and Brisbane. The airline recently announced the highly-anticipated seasonal Melbourne service to keep Victorians happy too.

The flight takes around 14 hours, is comfortable and well-serviced, and lands you in Vancouver International Airport – Skytrax’s best airport in North America for seven years running.

And now onto the how

Got a client who fancies an American adventure but hasn’t pinned down how they want to get there? We’ve got a few choice ways to persuade them to fly via Canada.

Check them out here:

  1. Be imaginative: Why not be different and get amongst any number of the gorgeous cities, cultural experiences and natural wonders of Canada, before continuing on to destinations across the US?
  2. Sneak in a ski: Speaking of stopovers, did you know you can be at Whistler from Vancouver in less than two hours, Cypress Mountain in less than one?
  3. Beat the queue: Vancouver International Airport offers US-bound passengers the ability to pre-clear US immigration and customs.
  4. Fly in style: Air Canada is the only Four-Star international network carrier in North America.

If you fancy a change up in your travelling routine, or just fancy trying an entirely new and unique destination, flying via Canada enroute to the US is the ideal choice.

From service and style, to efficiency and comfort, Air Canada offers a new way of flying to North America and beyond.
