WestJet Announces Nonstop Service to Austin

Calgary-based Canadian airline WestJet has announced a new seasonal service connecting Vancouver to Austin, Texas. 

Starting May 11, 2025, the new WestJet flight will operate three times a week. 

“As we continue to strengthen our service across Western Canada, we are proud to add new WestJet service between Vancouver and Austin as part of our expanded summer schedule,” said Daniel Fajardo, WestJet vice-president of network and schedule planning. “This service will provide a valuable connection between the Greater Vancouver Area and Southern U.S., offering guests a convenient and affordable way to explore Austin’s thriving music scene and renowned culinary culture, while also providing U.S.-based guests access to one of Canada’s most iconic metropolises.” 

The airline unveiled its summer 2025 schedule last week, which adds several U.S. and Canada destinations to WestJet’s network. With the addition of the Austin service, Vancouver will be connected to 15 U.S. destinations, with a total of 93 flights weekly during peak summer season.

“We are pleased to see WestJet’s network into key U.S. destinations from [Vancouver] continue to grow, with the addition of service into Austin, Texas,” said Russ Atkinson, director, air service development at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). “Recognized as one of the best cities in the world for live music, this route to Austin builds on our existing linkages and is a welcome addition to WestJet’s expanded summer service, which includes additional new non-stop flights from YVR to Boston, MA and Tampa, FL.”
