WestJet Kicks Off the Summer With $19 Flights

Two-day seat sale for eastern triangle

CALGARY, July 2 /CNW/ - WestJet (TSX:WJA) today announced a two-day $19
seat sale for travel within the eastern triangle. Guests travelling between
Montreal and Toronto and between Ottawa and Toronto can take advantage of the
$19 fare by booking on July 2 and 3, 2008, for travel until September 30.
"The summer is a great time of year to visit with friends and family,"
said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President of Guest Experience and
Marketing. "We find that many of our guests enjoy travelling during July,
August and September, and this fare is our way of thanking them for their
loyalty. We also hope that this price will encourage people who haven't flown
WestJet before to give us a try."
Cummings also noted that with rising gasoline prices, some families
planning road trips this summer are now looking at other options. "Certainly
with a $19 fare, plus the travel time you'll save, it may be easier to fly
rather than drive," he said.
All fares are available online at westjet.com, by calling WestJet at
1-800-538-5696 or through a travel agent.
