After adding 14 new routes last week, Swoop decided to put one more city on its route map this week. New nonstop service to and from San Diego will begin this fall. Intro fares are as low as $201 USD roundtrip from San Diego and $281 CAD roundtrip from Canada to San Diego.

New nonstop service on Swoop between Canada and San Diego

New nonstop service from both Abbotsford (YXX) and Edmonton (YEG) to San Diego (SAN) will begin on October 4, 2019. Swoop will fly twice per week from Abbotsford on Sundays and Fridays. From Edmonton, Swoop will operate flights 3 times per week on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays.

Swoop has been on a roll this past week by adding several new routes. Hopefully, it's a sign that airfares to and from Canada will continue to fall with the added competition for Canada's larger airlines Air Canada and WestJet.

New routes often spur fare wars so be sure to sign up for airfare alerts to find out when prices drop.

Travel Availability

Intro fares are valid for travel from October through December. While you must travel south from Canada to San Diego by early December, intro fares departing San Diego are available through April.

Sale Period

Intro fares must be booked by 11:59 pm MT, July 4, 2019, or while seats last.

Searching on Swoop's site, I found a one-way flight from Abbotsford YXX to San Diego SAN on Friday, October 4, for $119 CAD. For the return, I found a one-way flight from San Diego SAN to Abbotsford YXX on Sunday, October 6, for $123 USD. Combine the two, and it's approximately $281 CAD roundtrip ($214 USD)
