The December launch will therefore connect an established visitor market directly with the destination.
Seoul Marks Twenty Years of Direct Asian Connectivity

Canada Provides Broad International Connectivity
Canada remains one of Las Vegas’s broadest established international markets.
Direct Canadian destinations include Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, with individual services depending on airline schedules and seasonality.
Unlike the newly introduced Paris connection or upcoming Sydney route, these Canadian cities form part of an established multi-destination network.
That gives Las Vegas substantial international connectivity within North America alongside its growing long-haul network.
Mexico Adds More International Gateways
Mexico provides another major layer of international access.
