There is a reason they are the wealthiest states. They are the premium places to be in the US as well. Also one of the reasons Canadians wanna go to them as well.
Just need to get Americans to come up here to fill those planes

And it is possible they might but you have to tell them the option exists. I remember when I flew to Rome a few years ago there were Americans connecting through YYC on WestJet so some people do already do it.

Americans connecting with Westjet due to cheaper tickets to Europe is why they almost put the 787 on YYC-LAX. However they deployed that aircraft on ICN instead which is obviously a much better business decision.

Airlines in Canada cut thousands of seats to these U.S. states | National
Airlines in Canada are responding to a big dip in travel to the U.S. by slashing seats to what used to be popular vacation destinations.

Well that was quick.
That was quick. The number of people booking ahead toward summer probably dropped almost instantly. This will be a concern for WestJet as they have so many 737s which are great for transborder, but....

Some of these 737s are being redeployed on European routes (Westjet increased YYZ-DUB/EDI to 11 weekly and started YHZ-AMS/BCN), but they don't have the range to increase/add anything from Calgary using the 737 aside from KEF - which has already been moved to daily. I wonder if more Mexican/Caribbean destinations are to come for Winter 2025 if this trend continues.

The drop seems stronger in the East, FLL, MIA, RSW all down 20% or more. While PHX, PSP down less than 10%. But yea their lack of wide bodies is now going to be a real problem.

I hope the Westjet direct flights from Atlanta to here stays put. A buddy wants to come visit and it's the only direct and by far the cheapest.

ATL is probably safe. I also think most hub to hub flying will stay. It’s leisure destinations like LAS, MCO, etc that will probably face cuts.

They'll be thinking fuel stops if things get bad enough.

Westjet has increased Tokyo/NRT to daily year-round. Was previously daily in the summer and 3x weekly in the winter.
This will compliment 2 new JAL codeshare destinations, Osaka and Nagoya.

Japan is wonderful in the winter. I highly recommend, even if you don't include a ski portion.
