WestJet Direct YVR to MCO

[bfost87]

Good morning everyone, can anyone let me know if they recall/remember when WestJet runs their direct flights from YVR to MCO?

We're wondering about later next year, and so far the schedule only goes until mid September.

We are booked to fly direct on Westjet in March. The direct flights (that time of year) are on Fridays.

Thanks for the info. Looking at August-Mid September, they are currently Saturdays. Trying to decide if we want to go in September of late November/Early December (2022 - which isn't available yet).

They must be doing more than 1 direct flight a week then because we are booked direct from YVR to MCO with WJ in March and our flights are on Saturdays.

Yup! Looking at the website they have direct flights both days. Darn! They only had Fridays when I booked. Would have preferred Saturdays.

Too much money to switch?

Actually, I called and changed our return to Saturday and it was $400 cheaper! Thanks for the tip! Now we have an extra day at WDW!

I had already proactively booked an extra night at the end of our trip on DVC points at the 7 month mark just in case westjet messed with our flights, so now I’ve merged it with our existing reso and we are
good to go! 4 nights at BLT, 5 nights at BWV and 6 nights at AKL. I can’t wait! (My husband on the other hand hats the parks and can’t believe I’ve convinced him to go for 15 days).

Just keep in mind they can change them! I had 2 coworkers (well ex coworkers now that they closed the Disney Store ) who had the direct with WJ booked and their flights got switched on them last minute. I flew direct in Feb 2019 so it prob doesn't happen often.

Wait... BCwife.... aren't you going to be at DL the same time as me (18 days!!) cuz I also booked WDW for March...

November 10-14!! So our trips will definitely overlap!

I am Nov 8-15 and then March 12-22 at WDW. I know, I know, going during Spring Break but it just seemed the best with teenagers and not missing too much school. So funny. Makes me wonder if you were a regular at Guildford, I was a lead there.

Haha small world. Yep, Guildford was our Disney store! How are you doing after the closure?

Oh doing fine. Slightly bitter I won't have 40% off in the parks in November lol. I have some days where I am sad or bitter still but it's life right? No point in dwelling. And as you can tell, I am still giving Disney all my money.

I always rotated between Guildford, Metrotown and Pacific Center. Still a bummer that they've closed them all, and that we can't get down to the Seattle Premium Outlets yet either.

AND of course, the fact that if I want something from ShopDisney, a $30 item will cost me like an additional $30 in shipping.
