WINNIPEG, July 18, 2016 /CNW/ - NewLeaf Travel Company Inc. today announces an expansion to its route map, with a new non-stop flight addition between Edmonton and Winnipeg. Flights can be booked anytime on the new YEG to YWG route, which will run on Thursdays and Sundays beginning August 21, 2016.
The starting price point for the Winnipeg and Edmonton route is $99 one-way all inclusive.
"We are very happy to announce this new, economical route between the Manitoba and Alberta capital cities," said NewLeaf Chief Executive Officer Jim Young. "Canadians have responded exceptionally well to our direct flights between destinations, and we are pleased to expand this service."
The new route expands NewLeaf Travel's flight service out of Edmonton, which already runs direct flights from YEG to Hamilton, Kamloops and Abbotsford.
