US Airways (NYSE:LCC) is gearing up for the busy summer travel season by announcing four new routes, allowing customers to escape to cool days in Canada and hot summer nights in Mexico. The new service will originate from the airline’s Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C. hubs. Customers can start booking their summer travel beginning March 13.

“The addition of these new routes means more choices and convenient access to the destinations our customers want when they fly with US. Our East Coast customers will now be able to reach Mexico’s sunny beaches and Canada’s majestic East Coast with one-stop service.”

With this new service, customers can choose to go north to Ottawa or Halifax, Nova Scotia, or head south of the border to Puerto Vallarta or Los Cabos, Mexico.
US Airways Senior Vice President, Marketing and Planning, Andrew Nocella said, “The addition of these new routes means more choices and convenient access to the destinations our customers want when they fly with US. Our East Coast customers will now be able to reach Mexico’s sunny beaches and Canada’s majestic East Coast with one-stop service.”
