CALGARY — WestJet’s new daily service connecting Kelowna and Seattle is set to take off in January 2025.

The route will unlock more seamless connectivity to a network of U.S. destinations through Seattle and beyond, through the airline’s longstanding partnership with Delta Air Lines.

“As we continue to strengthen our service across Western Canada, we are proud to connect Kelowna with new daily WestJet service to Seattle as part of our expanded winter schedule,” said WestJet EVP and CCO, John Weatherill. “This route will provide guests in the Okanagan and across the Pacific Northwest regions with new convenient and affordable options to easily connect between both popular regions for business and leisure year-round.”

Flights from Kelowna to Seattle will depart at 9 a.m. local time, aligning with business travel schedules and allowing for connections to 24 codeshare destinations throughout the western U.S., including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, San Diego, Phoenix and many others.

The returning 11:30 a.m. departure from Seattle will arrive in Kelowna at 12:37 p.m.

Earlier this week, WestJet debuted its 2024/2025 domestic winter schedule, outlining growth across the country, including Kelowna.

This winter WestJet will serve a total of 12 destinations from Kelowna with up to 20 daily departures out of YLW during peak winter travel.
