WestJet Announces New Interline Booking Capabilities

WestJet travellers can now book interline itineraries comprised of both WestJet and interline partner segments through the airline’s website and contact centre, giving access to nearly 50 interline partners including its launch partner Copa.

By the end of 2026, WestJet will enable direct channel sales with more than 10 interline partners, adding more than 100 destinations through the airline’s world leading partner airline networks.

“Direct channel booking for interline is a meaningful enhancement for our guests looking to explore new horizons,” said Jared Mikoch-Gerke, WestJet Director, Airport Affairs and Alliances. “They will enjoy benefits similar to a codeshare or WestJet operated itinerary, now with the luxury of more destinations. Whether they want to cross off a bucket list city like Lima or make their way to the Great Wall of China from Beijing, this change will make travel dreams within arm’s reach for many more Canadians.”

 Through its partnership with Copa, Canadians will gain greater access to Central and South America via four of WestJet’s destinations in Mexico, as well as Panama City (PTY). This will allow guests to book through WestJet to 37 destinations served by Copa as part of the airline’s interline agreement throughout 18 countries including cities in Uruguay, Guatemala, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and Peru.

Throughout 2026 and 2027, WestJet will expand its direct channel interline offering to include partner networks such as Korean Air, Japan Airlines, Kenya Airways, LATAM Airlines Saudia and more, adding new destinations not previously sold by WestJet.

Guests will gain the ability to earn WestJet Rewards on their entire interline booking, including the partner operated segments, as well as use WestJet points as a form of payment for redemption on their trip. At the first point in guests’ check-in process, they will receive all boarding passes, and baggage tags to their destination.
