HALIFAX — WestJet is expanding its codeshare partnerships with Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, providing guests with easier connections through Amsterdam and Paris.

Guests travelling on WestJet codeshare flights with Air France and KLM can now enjoy the convenience of booking their entire journey on one ticket, with a seamless single connection at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), baggage transfers and earning opportunities with WestJet Rewards.

“As part of our commitment to flying Canadians where they want to go, these expanded partnerships provide WestJet guests with more options to explore 59 sought-after European destinations this summer,” said Jared Mikoch-Gerke, WestJet Director of Airport Affairs and Alliances.

“With WestJet’s recent transatlantic network expansions, guests travelling from across the country will benefit from more choice and convenience when travelling through Paris and Amsterdam. For guests originating in, or connecting through Atlantic Canada in particular, these enhancements are a gamechanger – offering guests travelling from or through Halifax and St. John’s more destinations, fewer layovers and convenient access to Europe,” he added.

Guests flying WestJet’s new route from Halifax to Amsterdam can connect beyond AMS to 14 destinations throughout KLM’s European network: Brussels (BRU); Prague (PRG); Helsinki (HEL); Bordeaux (BOD); Marseille (MRS); Nice (NCE); Paris (CDG); Rennes (RNS); Toulouse (TLS); Bologna (BLQ); Florence (FLR); Milan-Linate (LIN); Lisbon (LIS); and Porto (OPO).

WestJet guests departing from Calgary, Halifax and St. John’s can now access four additional European destinations via CDG. With today’s enhancements they have access to more than 50 destinations through Air France’s network in Europe through its global hub in Paris, including: Bucharest (OTP); Budapest (BUD); Prague (PRG); and Bologna (BLQ).
