WestJet Adding New Routes to Los Cabos and Punta Cana
WestJet will connect Calgary and Victoria, British Columbia, to two more sun destinations this winter.
The Calgary-based carrier will offer weekly seasonal service between Calgary and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic from Dec. 13 to April 21, 2020, and between Victoria and Los Cabos from Nov. 5 to April 18, 2020, the company announced today. WestJet will fly a Boeing 767-300ER on the Calgary-Punta Cana route, and a Boeing 737-700 on the Victoria-Los Cabos route.
"With new routes to Punta Cana and Cabo San Lucas… WestJet is getting our guests to the sun and sand sooner than ever this winter," says Arved von zur Muehlen, chief commercial officer of WestJet.
