WestJet has added new Dominican frequencies to its winter schedule, making it easier for Canadian tourists to enjoy the beaches in Puerto Plata, Samana and Punta Cana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new flights to be added for this winter season are:
Calgary (YYC) to Puerto Plata (POP), a 1x weekly flight starting 14 December 2025 through 12 April 2026
Montreal (YUL) to Samana (AZS), a 1x weekly flight starting 11 December 2025 through 12 April 2026
Thunder Bay in Ontario (YQT) to Punta Cana (PUJ), a 1x weekly flight starting 16 December 2025 through 7 April 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WestJet flights are part of the Canadian airline’s increase in flights to sun destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This winter, WestJet will operate 305 total routes and serve 62 Latin American, Caribbean, and US sun destinations, delivering more affordable opportunities for Canadians to escape the cold and enjoy sun-filled getaways. The airline offers both flight-only options through WestJet and vacation packages through Sunwing Vacations Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Canadians want value while escaping the cold, and WestJet’s 2025\/2026 winter schedule delivers on both affordability and choice,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Group Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “By expanding our sun network, strengthening key routes and growing strategically across Canada and internationally, WestJet is coming through for Canadians by connecting them to the destinations they love at prices they can afford. In fact, 71% of WestJet’s non-stop services are currently priced lower than they were in 2024.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
