WestJet has announced a new, year-round, daily service connecting Regina and Minneapolis, as part of the airline’s 2024 summer schedule.

In a statement, WestJet officials said the route is Regina’s first year-round transborder service since 2016 and marks the province’s second direct route to the Midwest U.S., following the launch of WestJet’s year-round service between Saskatoon and Minneapolis, launched in June earlier this year.

WestJet customers travelling beyond Minneapolis will have access to what the airline calls “a broad network and benefits” through WestJet’s relationship with Delta Air Lines – this includes codeshare flights to over 70 connecting destinations, now accessible with only one stop from Regina; the ability to earn and redeem WestJet Rewards on both airlines; and top tier frequent flyer benefits through the entire journey.

WestJet customers have access to Delta’s broad network on a single purchased ticket with check-in for all flights at the first departure, baggage tagged to their final destination and lounge access for select guests.
