Announcing new non-stop flights from Edmonton to Houston, TX

"Continental Airlines’ new non-stop air service between Edmonton and Houston will be a huge advantage to the 3,000 companies in Alberta’s International Region. Much of our business is contingent upon direct connections to the US, and international destinations," says Pat Klak, Executive Director, Leduc-Nisku Economic Development Authority. "This new link to the oil and gas industry ties strongly to Leduc and the Nisku Business Park, one of the largest oil and gas parks in North America."

FLIGHT SCHEDULE
Edmonton to Houston >> Depart: 0630 Arrive: 1150
Houston to Edmonton >> Depart: 1800 Arrive: 2145

“We are pleased to add Edmonton to our portfolio of Canadian destinations,” said Jim Compton, Continental’s executive vice president of marketing. “The flight allows connections to Continental’s vast network across the Southern United States and Latin America.”

The Houston-Edmonton route will be serviced by a Boeing 737-500, 114 seat aircraft (106 coach seats, 8 first class seats).

Continental plans to become a Star Alliance partner on October 27 of this year, allowing future travel to earn and redeem frequent flyer mileage on affiliated airlines such as Air Canada’s Aeroplan.

Integration of Northwest Airlines & Delta Air Lines

On Tuesday, September 15, Vancouver airport will see the next step in the integration of Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines.

Effective from the 15th, all airport counters and gate signage in the US departure areas will be rebranded as Delta Air Lines and passengers travelling on Northwest or Delta operated flights will check in at the one location.

Please be advised that you should check in with Delta for all Northwest and Delta operated flights. Passengers booked on our codeshare partner flights should continue to check in with the operating carrier.

Passengers travelling on KLM from Vancouver should continue to check in at the KLM counters in the international departure area.

Rest assured that customer service agents are available in the check in area to assist passengers and direct you to the appropriate counters.

Introducing Their Non-Smoking Fleet

Avis is constantly looking for ways to make renting a more enjoyable and satisfying experience. And beginning next month they're adding a new one: a 100% smoke-free fleet.

The new smoke-free fleet policy will go into effect as of October 1st for their entire fleet. Every make. Every model. You'll find a sticker on every vehicle to identify it as smoke-free.

Avis is excited about this change because it means a fresh, clean, odor-free vehicle every time you rent from us. In fact, They have created a new inspection process and cleaning fee (up to $250 if the vehicle is returned and it smells of smoke) just to guarantee that your vehicle really is clean and smoke-free.

A smoke-free fleet. It's coming this fall. It's not only more enjoyable — it's a breath of fresh air from Avis.
