WestJet adds Chicago to growing network

While WestJet will fly these routes with its own Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft, the airline will continue to market non-stop service from Chicago to Toronto, Chicago to Ottawa and Chicago to Montreal on our partner American Airlines’ code-share flights. Chicago is an American Airlines’ major hub, providing connections to key destinations in the U.S. and across the world. 

“We’re pleased to introduce service to and from Chicago,” said John MacLeod, WestJet Vice-President, Network Management and Alliances. “The addition of Chicago shows how our continued growth and code-share agreements are working together to provide guests with non-stop service from the East and West. We believe this balance appeals to both business and leisure travellers looking to experience what Chicago has to offer, as well as for northbound travellers looking to visit Banff and the Rocky Mountains via Calgary or board cruise ships from Vancouver. We look forward to welcoming new and returning guests on board these exciting new services.” 
WestJet non-stop service between Vancouver, Calgary and Chicago is subject to government approval. 
Full schedule details and great introductory one-way fares start at $149 from Calgary and $169 from Vancouver, plus applicable taxes and fees. Fares are available by visiting westjet.com, by calling WestJet’s Sales Super Centre at 1-888-WESTJET (937-8538) or through your preferred travel agent. 
With more access to more vacation destinations than ever before, WestJet Vacations offers flexible and convenient packages to popular destinations throughout WestJet’s network, including Chicago. Guests can enjoy Chicago’s Magnificent Mile with the convenience of booking flights and hotel together. Vacation packages will be available prior to the launch of service in May.

• Daily service to Whitehorse, Yukon 
• Three-times weekly service to Kingston, Jamaica
