News Releases

CALGARY, March 3 /CNW/ - WestJet (TSX:WJA) today announced the expansion
of its partnership with Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE), the world's leading
online travel company. Now, all of WestJet's published fares, schedules and
inventory are available to leisure and unmanaged business travellers through
Expedia® in the U.S. The agreement builds on WestJet's current relationship
with Expedia, under which WestJet flights have been available to Canadian
travellers on Expedia.ca.
WestJet President and CEO Sean Durfy anticipates that the addition of
Expedia.com to the airline's distribution strategy will have a positive impact
on WestJet's growth in the U.S. market.
"WestJet's business stands to benefit as we continue to build our network
and capacity in Canada and the U.S. Expedia's unmatched customer volume, along
with the brand and marketing support they provide their partners will help us
to grow our network to over 60 destinations in Canada and the U.S. through
2013," said Sean Durfy. "Once we gained full functionality on Expedia.ca, our
sales increased significantly demonstrating the power and reach of the Expedia
brand. We're excited to extend our WestJet guest experience to the millions of
travellers who visit Expedia.com each month."
Paul Brown, President, Expedia North America and Expedia, Inc. Partner
Services Group said, "Travellers book on Expedia because they know we are
committed to offering them an unmatched selection of travel options at the
guaranteed best price, and WestJet is a great fit with that approach. We're
pleased that WestJet will now have access to our highly valuable and
incremental travel shoppers on Expedia.com."
