WestJet's winter schedule unveils exciting sun escapes for Canadians

As winter approaches, WestJet has unveiled its winter schedule, offering Canadians a myriad of opportunities to plan their dream winter getaways.

The airline's expansion to popular sun destinations includes four new and four returning routes, resulting in over 85 daily departures from cities across Canada to these sought-after destinations.

Notably, WestJet is set to become the airline with the most flights to over 10 Mexican destinations from Canada during this winter season, presenting travellers with a diverse array of choices for their sun-filled escapes.

John Weatherill, WestJet Group's Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer, expressed the airline's commitment to providing Canadians with what they desire the most.

"This year's winter schedule is about providing Canadians with affordable sun destination getaways from across Canada; enhanced domestic connectivity from coast-to-coast; and the assurance that some of our most popular routes, previously operated exclusively in the summer, are available year-round," said Weatherill.

To enhance the airline's capacity and commitment to the Greater Toronto Area, WestJet is introducing new non-stop seasonal service between Toronto and Bonaire, starting December 12, 2023.

In response to high demand, some key routes that proved immensely popular with travellers during the summer will now operate year-round, further enriching the travel options available to Canadians during the winter season.

WestJet's codeshare partnerships will facilitate seamless connections for guests through major hubs such as Paris, Atlanta, or Minneapolis, unlocking access to a broad network of European and US destinations with the convenience of a single ticket purchase.

Additionally, Sunwing Airlines, as part of the WestJet Group, will play a pivotal role in offering leisure and sun travel options across the country. Together, WestJet and Sunwing Airlines will provide the highest number of seats among Canadian airlines, encompassing 230 nonstop routes from 26 Canadian communities to 55 popular sun destinations in the US, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America for the upcoming winter season.

As the winter season approaches, WestJet's winter schedule promises an abundance of exciting sun escapes, making it easier than ever for Canadians to embark on unforgettable winter adventures in their dream destinations.

Whether it's lounging on the beaches of Mexico, exploring Caribbean paradises, or seeking new horizons in Central America, WestJet and Sunwing Airlines have travellers covered with a wealth of choices and seamless connections.
