To celebrate, Lynx will be offering four lucky Canadians a chance to win a free flight and accommodation package to one of Lynx's new sun destinations. The airline has also launched a limited-time seat sale, offering up to 50 per cent off all base fares to and from the United States, with the promo code LYNXUSA.  The sale will run from 11:00 AM MDT on September 28, 2022, and end at 12:00 PM MDT on October 6, 2022.

"With winter approaching, we know Canadians love to travel south in search of warmer weather. We are thrilled to be offering an ultra-affordable option to four of the most popular sun destinations in the United States," said Merren McArthur, CEO of Lynx.  "By choosing Lynx, Canadians can save on the journey and spend more at their sun-soaked getaway. We are so excited about our US expansion that we have launched a competition today to win a free flight and accommodation package to one of our new sun destinations: Orlando, Phoenix, Los Angeles or Las Vegas."

"This is another great option for Toronto Pearson passengers to access popular winter destinations," says Janik Reigate, Director, Strategic Customer Relationships for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. "As the U.S. is a top country for travel through Pearson, these routes support travel to an important and attractive market for Canadians."

"Lynx's expansion to the U.S. is a strong indication of their confidence in YYC and that the future of air travel is bright. Their new routes provide Calgarians even more choice to visit desirable destinations south of the border," said Rob Palmer, Vice President, Commercial, Strategy & Chief Financial Officer.
