Hello, I'm new here. I've been reading these forums ever since I stumbled upon them after WestJet announced seasonal service to Las Vegas.

Anyway, I just want to say it's great that Regina is finally getting another option when it comes to travel to the U.S. But I don't think the timing has much to do with how YQR markets itself. For whatever reasons, United chose to start service in the province in Saskatoon instead of Regina (even though both airports have about the same number of people to draw upon, although YXE has slightly higher passenger numbers).

Obviously the Denver flights there are working and they see Saskatchewan doing well, so they've added service to and from Regina. If these ones do well, maybe we'll see flights to Chicago by next winter. I do agree though it is a bit strange to have both Minneapolis and Chicago (unless Chicago opens the gate to more travel to Europe, I'm really not too sure though).
