WestJet announced an enhancement to its codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines, enabling the airline's "WS" code on Japan Airlines (JAL) operated flights between Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Narita International Airport (NRT) in Tokyo, Japan.

With the addition of Tokyo as a destination available for sale to guests on WestJet.com and through the airline's call centre and travel trade partners, WestJet guests can now seamlessly book travel to Tokyo via Vancouver from across the airline's domestic network.

This new development expands the long-standing codeshare agreement between WestJet and Japan airlines which has been in place since 2011.

The codeshare will offer optimized connecting times between WestJet and Japan Airlines flights, through check in and baggage checked to final destination at the first point of departure, and the ability to earn and redeem WestJet Dollars for members of WestJet Rewards.
