WestJet just announced six new routes flying out of Calgary starting this winter, and if you’re dreaming of sandy white beaches and turquoise waters, you’re going to be happy.

These new routes are part of WestJet’s plan to expand its Calgary network to 98 non-stop destinations. The new winter schedule also includes enhanced domestic connectivity, expanded daily year-round service to Tokyo, and extended year-round service to WestJet’s newer destination, Mexico City.

“As Calgary’s hometown airline and leading carrier, WestJet is dedicated to delivering the convenient connections and exceptional value our guests expect,” said John Weatherill, WestJet’s executive vice-president and chief commercial officer.

“With these strategic additions, we’re increasing our sun destination seat capacity from YYC Calgary International Airport by 15 per cent compared to last winter, reaffirming our commitment to being the top choice for sun-seeking guests. We’re excited to offer Calgarians even more affordable travel options and unmatched choice this winter, and we can’t wait to hear what travel stories take off from these new routes.”
