Flights will operate four days a week with Boeing 737 MAX 8 and are timed to optimize connectivity to Air Canada’s extensive North American network, including major cities along the US east coast including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, also allowing easy connections from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas.

Special introductory fares start as low as $798 round-trip, all in, and tickets are now available for purchase at aircanada.com or through travel agents.

“As the only network carrier to offer non-stop transatlantic service to Bordeaux, the addition of a fifth destination in France further enhances Air Canada’s competitive position in the French market. Our four weekly flights are the most offered than any other airline between Montreal and Bordeaux, providing travelers unique access to the famed wine growing region and the popular Nouvelle-Aquitaine market,” said Lucie Guillemette, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Air Canada.

“In addition to playing a special role in connecting Canada with many French-speaking communities around the world, our Montreal hub is increasingly popular among U.S. travelers who appreciate seamless connections to international destinations on Air Canada.”

Air Canada has configured its Boeing 737 MAX with two cabins of service: Premium Economy and Economy.

Features of the new aircraft include:

—An upgraded in-flight entertainment system with a sleek, new 15 language user interface. Coming soon, passengers will be able to stream video and audio to their own devices;

—High-speed Wi-Fi will be available on these flights so customers can use their devices in-flight just as they would on the ground, making traveling more relaxing as well as productive;

—Premium comfort and ambiance with improved seats and innovative LED mood lighting along the ceiling;

—Upgraded overhead storage space compartments offer additional space for every single passenger to bring a carry-on bag;

—The latest quiet engine technology with up to 40 percent noise reduction, offering more peace and quiet for customers when flying;

—The Boeing 737 MAX burns 20 percent less fuel per seat than the previous Next-Generation 737.

“The arrival of Air Canada on the Montréal-Bordeaux route enhances air service options to this popular French destination for Montrealers. Once again, I would like to thank Air Canada for its confidence and contributions to the development of our air service,” said Philippe Rainville, President and CEO of Aéroports de Montréal.
