Eugene as well will start offering the flights on June 12th.

A massive central Oregon effort raising nearly half a million dollars in travel vouchers and revenue guarantees help entive American Airlines to offer the direct flights.

Dale Morris with American Airlines says he expects travelers will use the flights for business and leisure.

"I think what we expect from this region is a huge business market.  We think this is a great opportunity to connect with the L.A. market for business.  But we also expect Disneyland could attract a lot of leisure travelers and more opportuniteis as well."

The Central Oregon Visitors Association is planning an extensive advertising campaign to draw southern California people to central Oregon.
