WestJet is adding new U.S. destinations to its network for summer 2023.

WestJet has also announced enhanced domestic connectivity. The additions are part of WestJet’s new growth strategy, with a keen-eyed focus on Western Canada. With strengthened domestic and transborder connectivity, WestJet will increase its service up to nearly 30% in Calgary, 50%  in Edmonton and 10% in Vancouver when compared to 2022.

In total WestJet will debut 20 new routes and three new destinations in its summer 2023 transborder program.

New Destinations, More Connections

WestJet’s summer network additions feature new nonstop service to Washington Dulles, Detroit and Minneapolis, with new routes added to Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Nashville and Seattle.

Through its longstanding partnership with Delta Air Lines, WestJet passengers connecting through Minneapolis and Detroit will gain access to two more of the U.S. airline’s major hubs. Building on WestJet’s current service to Delta hubs, including Atlanta, L.A., New York, and Seattle, WestJet passengers will now have access to 150+ U.S. destinations on a single purchased ticket with check-in for all flights at the first departure, baggage tagged to their final destination and lounge access for select guests.
