This year, American returns to YEG for an extended season, running until May 3 and increasing to two daily flights between Dec. 16 and March 3. All services are operated using Canadian built Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft offering 9 Business Class seats and 67 Main Cabin seats, 34 of which are ‘Main Cabin Extra’ seats with an extra three inches of pitch.

“We are delighted to be returning to Edmonton once more and offer more connectivity to and from Alberta,” said Rolando Guerra, American’s general manager of YEG. “Phoenix is a large and well placed hub and offers Canadian travellers great onward connections throughout the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica.”

Popular connections from PHX include Aspen (ASE), Austin (AUS), Cancun (CUN), Mazatlán (MZT), Mexico City (MEX), Orlando (MCO), Palm Springs (PSP), Puerto Vallarta (PVR), and San Jose Del Cabo (SJD).
