On January 17th, Delta Air Lines and WestJet from Canada announced a codesharing agreement on flights between the United States and Canada, further expanding the partnership between the two carriers. The codeshare flights are available for purchase now for service beginning January 23, 2012.
Last year, Delta and WestJet began an interline agreement that allowed customers to purchase connecting flights on one ticket, receive boarding passes for all segments at their first check-in, and tag bags through to their final destination.
Under the first phase of the codeshare agreement, Delta will place its code on WestJet flights to more than 15 cities, while the WestJet code will be added on Delta flights on five markets, expanding the networks of both airlines for customers flying between the United States and Canada. People who are part of Delta's SkyMiles program and WestJet's Frequent Guest Program will be able to earn miles or rewards on the codeshare flights, providing customers another benefit of the enhanced relationship.
Charlie Pappas, Delta's Alliances vice-president commented that "Our codeshare partnership with WestJet means an array of expanded travel options in the U.S. and Canada for our customers, with easy access to the airline's extensive Canadian network and trans-border service between Canada and the United States".
"We are pleased to welcome Delta Air Lines' customers aboard our WestJet flights and offer our guests new opportunities to access Delta's extensive network", said John MacLeod, WestJet Vice-President, Network Management and Alliances. "We very much look forward to adding more codeshare destinations to our Delta partnership in the near future."
