Once-a-day nonstop service between Los Angeles and Wichita, Kan., and between Bakersfield and Denver are among new routes being launched this fall by United Airlines .

Round-trip, advance-purchase fares, on sale now, start at $368 for LAX-Wichita and $302 for Bakersfield-Denver, said United spokesman Jeff Kovick.

So far, he added, United is the only airline to announce daily Bakersfield-Denver nonstops. But Delta will offer a daily LAX-Wichita nonstop starting July 1, said Delta spokesman Anthony Black. United's two new Southern California routes, which start Sept. 5, will use 66-seat Canadair Regional Jet-700s divided into three classes: economy, economy plus (with more legroom) and first.

Other new nonstop United routes starting Sept. 5 include Denver to Little Rock, Ark., and Washington Dulles to Little Rock and Ottawa, Canada.

Last week, United began flying nonstop twice a day out of Palmdale to San Francisco, using jets with 50 seats, all of them economy-class.
