Summer isn’t over yet, but winter is coming -- and WestJet is bringing back 17 sun routes that were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic to help travellers escape the cold.
Routes from across Canada to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America include Calgary to Nassau, Ottawa to Montego Bay, Regina to Cancun, and Toronto to Samana.
“The returning routes, which were suspended for more than two years, bring enhanced connectivity and vacation options for Canadians and communities across the airline’s network,” WestJet said in a press release on Tuesday.
Also in the release, John Weatherill, WestJet executive vice-president and chief commercial officer, said bringing back these previously suspended routes was “another positive step” in the restoration of the airline’s flight network.
“We recognize the past three winters have been disruptive to our guests' travel plans and we look forward to reconnecting Canadians to some of the warmer destinations they have missed the most.”
Routes resuming to the U.S. include weekly flight paths from Kelowna to Phoenix, Saskatoon to Las Vegas, Vancouver to Orlando, and St. John’s to Tampa Bay.
