Will the westjet flights to and from Moncton or Halifax out of Hamilton still remain scheduled or are they to stop for winter months?
Hi Barbara, thanks for your post. Right now WestJet only offers flights to Moncton and Halifax during the summer season (May to October). During the winter months, WestJet offers flights to sun destinations Cancun, Punta Cana and Orlando, in addition to daily flights to Calgary, the airline’s network hub.
I heartily wish that they would resume flights to Cayo Coco Cuba.Last year I was able to fly to and from Hamilton to Jardines Del Rey – now I have do it from Toronto Pearson.
