WestJet flight schedule updates?

We are looking to fly YHZ-YOW in early July. There's a message when trying to search flights saying they resume May 17-Oct, but while I can select a fare to YOW, there's no corresponding fare back to YHZ (direct or otherwise). Has anyone run into this kind of thing before?

When I look at their direct flight list, there aren't any direct flights at all YHZ-YOW in any date ranges. I think that message is old/an error. When I search the flight I see what you're saying- if it's round trip I can choose the trip there but not back. If I choose one way, I can book a trip there but it's connecting through YYZ. I suspect it has something to do with bad connections they don't want to sell you, but calling them would confirm the issue.

There is only 1 flight per day from yyz to yow on WestJet. I've given up using them for flying. What about looking at Porter. They will fly direct YHZ to YOW. 3 non-stop flights each way each day. I've used Porter to go to Orlando,
Vancouver and Winnipeg. A lot of people don't think of them because they fly out of Toronto or Ottawa to various cities across the country. For instance I don't think you can fly from Halifax to Montreal. Seeing as you're coming to Ottawa it might be an option to consider.

Yeah good point on porter. I'm between porter and AC right now but the flight prices are atrocious.

Sign up for Porters email and an account. They often send codes for discounts. They've got one right now for 25%off I think. It ends today but there will be another one next week.
