WestJet has been cancelling lately - a lot

November just got the boot.......in late October
You are right, we originally booked for Nov 17th and got cancelled because of lack of people wanting to go to POP, as a result all flights were cancelled for Nov. We are now able to fly on Dec 5th. many more flights for Dec. are available.

Watch for westjet to cancel or scale back their December flights to POP starting about mid November. I wouldn't care if there was just one flight per week. All I am asking for is a bit of reliability. If they schedule the flight and sell tickets they need to fly that flight or not schedule quite so many flights.

We will see and hope for the best.

Flying to MIA and then POP might work...
could involve an overnight....

AA has that MIA-POP route
Thanks for the info, we used that option for a few years a real pain in the **** going through Atlanta or Miami. I prefer the direct route with west jet , I am sure they will be flying regular soon, all the airlines are finding it hard to find passengers to fill their flights with the Pandemic, Going through the US is not on my list of things to do at the moment.

Atalanta has no flights to POP either - these days

Airlines (US) are at about 30% flight schedule....

Options are few.... YYZ to NYC direct was not an option in Sept for my wife
Nyc was routed thru ORD........... overnight and on to POP in the AM

Something tells me this new memeber either lives in calgary or works for westjet , or at the least has not been paying attention to the cash grab westjet has been doing since JULY and then NOW offering refunds, keeping the interest however. Any other hassle is better option than WESTSCAM.

As long as the canadian gov has the 14 day quarantine I dont expect a reliable shecdule to anywhere in the DR except Punta Cana. It seems to be the only place on the island that can sustain full flights.

and beginning Nov 21 all international travellers arriving must submit through an app their quarantine plan and update it every day. If you dont you can be delayed and fined upon arrival. No more paper forms will be given.
