WestJet adds seasonal Calgary-LaGuardia flights, boosting New York options

Great news for travelers planning a summer escape. WestJet has announced a new seasonal route connecting Calgary International Airport (YYC) directly to New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA), expanding options for flights to the Big Apple.

This new service complements WestJet's existing year-round flights between Calgary and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), providing even more flexibility for travel plans.

Starting May 24, you can enjoy a direct flight from Calgary to LaGuardia, making it easier than ever to experience the magic of New York City. Whether you're dreaming of catching a Broadway show, exploring Central Park, or cheering on the Yankees, this new route offers a convenient gateway to all the city has to offer.

"There is a significant appetite for flights to New York, either for visiting the city itself to watch a Broadway show, concert, catch a Yankees game, visit Central Park, or just to connect onward," said Daniel Fajardo, WestJet vice-president of Network and Schedule Planning. "The addition of this route boosts our ability to meet this demand and provide guests with more options."

The seasonal service will operate once weekly, with flights departing Calgary at 8:15 a.m. and arriving at LaGuardia at 3:05 p.m. Return flights leave LaGuardia at 4:00 p.m. and arrive in Calgary at 7:35 p.m. This route is available for travel between May 24 and Aug. 30. Don't forget, WestJet's year-round service from Calgary to JFK remains in place, offering even more travel flexibility.

Tickets for the Calgary-LaGuardia route go on sale starting Jan. 20. Be sure to book early to secure your spot on this popular route for the summer months.

Now with over 180 aircraft and 100 destinations, WestJet continues to be a leading choice for air travel.
