Swoop became the first Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) to enter the U.S. market when it released its 2018/19 winter schedule with one-way sale fares starting as low as $99 CAD including taxes and fees, through to April 27, 2019.
The schedule includes routes from Edmonton to Las Vegas and Mesa; Hamilton to Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood, Orlando and Tampa; and Abbotsford to Las Vegas.
Swoop has been vocal about its intention to repatriate the estimated 5 million Canadians that drive across the border each year to take ULCC flights in the U.S., and this winter schedule is positioned to attract both cross-border travellers and price-sensitive sun-seekers.
Flights are available for booking from October 11, 2018 to April 27, 2019.
To celebrate this important milestone, Swoop will be offering a web-only seat sale beginning on August 2, 2018.
