WestJet is offering a sneak peek at its 2025/2026 winter schedule, featuring no fewer than five new destinations.

WestJet will operate 305 total routes this winter season, serving 62 Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. sun destinations.

Travellers can choose from flight-only options through WestJet, and vacation packages through Sunwing Vacations Group.

While departures will increase by three per cent year-over-year, capacity will be consistent with last winter, as seats will be removed from former Sunwing/Swoop aircraft, which will be updated to WestJet’s standard configuration before the start of winter, said John Weatherill, WestJet Group EVP and CCO.

Weatherill added that 71% of WestJet’s non-stop services are currently priced lower than they were in 2024.

The schedule adds new destinations Panama City, Guadalajara, Tepic (Nayarit), Havana and Managua, Nicaragua.

The schedule also marks Mexico City’s first winter season of operation since becoming a year-round service.

Seat capacity across the Latin America and Caribbean region is scheduled to grow by 6%, with Costa Rica, the D.R. and Mexico in focus for new route growth.

Returning routes for winter 2025-26

Samana in the D.R., previously offered only through Sunwing Airlines, will now be offered by WestJet.

WestJet also returns service to four additional routes, while restarting seasonal service to dozens of Canada’s favourite winter destinations.

Asia connectivity

Service between WestJetʻs global hub in Calgary and Tokyo (Narita) will increase from three to seven flights per week, enabling daily connectivity to Asia and contributing to 18% year-over-year in intercontinental growth.

WestJet’s full winter 2025/26 schedule is available for booking from July 14.
