WestJet Boosts Flights to Puerto Vallarta: More Choices for Winter Travelers

The sun is shining a little brighter in Puerto Vallarta this winter as WestJet is significantly increasing its flight capacity to the destination. According to local tourism coverage, the Canadian airline is adding nearly 10,000 monthly seats to Puerto Vallarta during the winter 2026-2027 high season. This means more flights from five Canadian cities-Edmonton, Kelowna, Regina, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg-making it easier for Canadian travelers to visit.

The increase in flights from Edmonton, for instance, rises from 13 to 17 weekly, while Kelowna sees a modest increase from 4 to 5. Regina and Saskatoon both see their weekly flights increase to 5, and Winnipeg’s increase is the most significant, from 6 to 12. Together, these changes add up to 56 extra monthly flights and an estimated 9,744 additional seats.

With more flights, trip planning and hotel demand will be easier. It’s a win-win for everyone, especially those looking to escape the cold winter and soak up some sun. The Bay of Banderas will see more visitors, and with more choice, it’s easier to find the perfect spot for a vacation.

For those planning a longer stay, reviewing the airport route overview can help. It’s also a good idea to bookmark the Canadian consulate information before departure to ensure a smooth trip. With so many options, it’s time to chase the rays and make your winter vacation in Puerto Vallarta a reality.
