WestJet will offer flights to Tokyo through its agreement with Japan Airlines

WestJet announced Monday an enhancement to its codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines, allowing its code to be used on flights operated by the Japanese carrier between Vancouver and Tokyo’s Narita International Airport.

With the addition of Tokyo, WestJet customers can now seamlessly book travel to the Japanese capital via Vancouver from the airline’s entire domestic network.

WestJet inaugurates flights between Winnipeg and Los Angeles.

“As transpacific air travel between Canada and Japan increases, this is the ideal time to launch this new step in our cooperation with Japan Airlines,” said John Weatherill, WestJet’s Chief Commercial Officer.

The codeshare will offer optimized connection times between WestJet and Japan Airlines flights, through check-in and baggage through to the final destination at the first point of departure.

This development extends the codeshare agreement that has been in place since 2011 between the two airlines.
