It’s the long distance flights that make you truly grateful for good inflight entertainment and Air Canada has long been appreciated by passengers for its exceptional range of movies, TV, music and games on board with the airline named among the “Top Five Airlines for In-flight Entertainment by IndependentTraveler.com” in November last year.  This month, passengers will enjoy a massive boost to the range of entertainment options on board with a mind-boggling 600 hours of on-demand entertainment, so you’ll never have to sit through a dull feature again.

The number of films shown has doubled to around 150 movies, so you can stay up to date with the latest Hollywood blockbusters, or select from avant-garde art house to international films.  The airline is also incredibly supportive of the film making industry in Canada and screens a wide selection of Canadian films and shorts, including winners from the Air Canada enRoute Film Festival – an annual short-film festival that gives emerging Canadian filmmakers exposure to the millions of passengers flying with the airline every year.

You can also discover new series or catch up on episodes of favourite shows with TV series box sets in comedy and drama.  And for those more bookish, a selection of 100 albums and 12 channels of satellite radio music will help to provide a soundtrack to your latest read.

All runways lead to NYC
For travellers from Australia, Vancouver has long been a convenient gateway to North America as you simply clear US Customs there and continue on your journey to the United States.  And now it’s never been easier to get to New York, following Air Canada’s inaugural flight this May to John F. Kennedy International, making it the only carrier to serve all three major airports in the New York City region from Canada.

Throughout the Northern Hemisphere 2012 summer, the airline will offer a whopping 38 flights to choose from per day, providing passengers the most frequencies, widest choice of airports and greatest convenience of all airlines flying between New York and Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver.

The airline will offer a three-times daily service to John F. Kennedy International Airport, existing service to Newark Liberty International Airport and an additional daily flight between Toronto and LaGuardia Airport that began May 1.
