Aloha again!

My good friend and client, Guy Turcotte, just let me in on a great piece of information before he left home to Canada this past weekend.

Starting December 5, 2009, Air Canada will be offering non stop flights between Calgary and Maui three times a week!  Calgary-Maui flights will operate on Saturdays (beginning Dec. 5) and Mondays and Fridays (beginning Dec. 21). Maui to Calgary flights depart Maui at 7:55 p.m. (Hawaii time), arriving in Calgary at 5:15 a.m. (Alberta time). Calgary to Maui flights depart Calgary at 2:20 p.m. (Alberta time), arriving on Maui at 6:35 p.m. (Hawaii time). The price is expected to be $281 one-way, and will save travelers roughly 2.5 hrs compared to other routes.  The flights are also timed to accomodate convenient connections to cities throughout Alberta and eastern Canada.  The aircraft will be the roomy Boeing 767-300ER.  So, this winter Albertans will be able to quickly escape the cold for some warm Hawaiian sun, and Hawaiians will enjoy easy access to some of the best ski resorts in the Canadian Rockies!
