I might be taking that Air Transat flight which would include me driving from Halifax to Montreal. Not going to book anything until the last minute due to uncertainty about flight cancellations as well as that covid thing.

Canada to Rep Dom
Let us know how that works out . I have confidence in Air transat to punta cana . Took that flight last week. As far as going to POP . I see West JET Scammers showing dates for december and airtransat, they have both posted before accepted cash and cancelled . But the BOSS AIRLINE and thus far the only reasonable airline Air Canada , is not showing anything for POP , so i would follow their lead as they are not as cash strapped as the other two . I can see air transat doing it as they will be taken over by Air canada

I do not like WJ, but the fact that they will be giving actual refunds suggests to me they have a plan. I just hope they refund me so that I never have to deal with them again. If not with any luck they will be around in March or April when I go back to Canada.
Sounds like last ditch effort to pay the bills...or goad Canadian Government into Subsidizing the Airline....
As long as Health Canada demands the 14 day isolation plan I have to make the contacts between Toronto and or Montreal to Halifax, rent a car and have it picked up at Little Brook then Isolate. I am permitted to stay at a hotel when arriving late at night in Halifax.
My friends cannot pick me up at the airport because they are all over 65.
If it were not that I am in need of specialized Medical attention ...I would ditch it all and settle down for the winter.
Of course there is the matter that my Temporary Residency procedure was interrupted by COVID19 and I do need to Return To Canada for Bio-Metrics
Aint it fun!
My friends sailed back from DR to Nova Scotia and were checked upon several times by RCMP. while in mandatory Isolation. Ouch!
Had it not been for a good Yacht Club looking out for them they would have starved.....
Ridiculousness does have its limits ....only not here.
Hope your trip does well Slowmo.
A less than intelligent comment.
WS has been providing great service to POP.
If they were gone you'd be left with AC/Rouge poor service and pricing.
Sunwing and Air Transat ould be limited options.
For the first time WS cancellations outpaced bookings, all airlines are struggling to survive.
At best by 2024 to 25 somewhat regular volume will return.
How so ? please refrain from making statements seeking attention, you have other options. tik-tok, twitter instagram .
Perhaps you should read the article first and then explain what it is that you failed to understand in my statement? As it states "some" will be refunded. If it is the word "some" that has you confused , see below :

Only some will get refunds, others still get vouchers. Ticket purchases will get refunds, but those that bought plane tickets with hotel packages still get vouchers.WestJet to refund some passengers whose flights were cancelled because of COVID-19

Class action law suit against WJ goes before the judge in the next few days. The speculation is that this offering of refunds is their attempt to show that the suit is void.....
I do not disagree that West Jet provided exemplary service over the past years...my most favorite Airline.
But, who would have expected COVID 19 .... and the impact it has and will have on the Tourism Industry which includes the Airlines.
I asked TD VISA to refund me the ticket fare of $550.73 CDN$ when WJ only wanted to provide a credit that is effective for 13 months.
That was on Monday...today the funds were credited to my account ...Via VISA Dispute System.
So thank you all here for pointing me in the right direction ....at least my small investment was recovered.
Now I must work on an alternate Airline to Toronto or Montreal.
Will do that only on 30 so the bookings are more secure.
Thanks again for advice.
What a shame about the Airlines... the recovery will be long and painful, if they recover at all.

Glad you got your investement back . yes in the past WJ was a good airline , when the pandemic hit all airlines were affected. But westjet is the only one who kept posting dates for Puerto Plata , every month since August to always cancel them and just issue "voucher" , yes the other airlines offered vouchers/credits too but they stopped posting availability to Puerto plata . But to the point glad you got your refund.
Wish you a nice flight!

nice , but flights to PUJ have not been an issue for sometime , its flights from canada to POP that is the MISSING. SAFE JOURNEY
Everything went great. Flight arrived on time and it was at least 60% full. Immigration and customs were dead slow. Our flight and a US carrier were the only ones there bit it was painfully slow getting through. Stopped at Jumbo and it was packed and already playing Christmas music. My heart goes out to those poor employees.
Beach is still incredible and the condo was good but a bit dirty after being locked up for 7 months.
