Airline adds more flights from Vancouver to the Aloha State

CALGARY, June 27, 2013 /CNW/ - WestJet today announced new, daily service between Vancouver and Hawaii Island (Kona) and between Vancouver and Kauai (Lihue), starting this December.

On December 12, 2013, service between Vancouver and Hawaii Island increases to daily from four times weekly last winter. Service between Vancouver and Kauai also increases to daily, beginning December 14, 2013, from three times weekly.

"WestJet is the airline of choice for Canadians who love the Hawaiian Islands," said Chris Avery, WestJet Vice-President, Network Planning, Alliances and Corporate Development. "With seamless connections from many cities across Canada and no need to pick up your bag before you pre-clear U.S. customs in Vancouver, it's never been easier to take that fabulous Hawaiian vacation you've been waiting for."

In addition to increased service to Hawaii Island and Kauai, WestJet also offers twice-daily service from Vancouver to both Honolulu and Maui.

Flights are now available for sale at westjet.com.

WestJet Vacations has something for everyone, offering 29 hotels and condos situated on Hawaii Island from Kailua-Kona to Waikoloa, and on Kauai from Poipu to Princeville.
