Southwest and excellent Canadian low cost carrier WestJet have announced plans to codeshare starting in late 2009. That means we’ll sell seats on each other’s flights, allowing someone to buy a single ticket from Dallas to Vancouver, for example, flying part of the trip on SWA and the rest on WJ. I am SO excited about this! It will provide more options for our customers, extra revenue for each company, and some good nonrevving opportunities for the employees. Using a fleet of 737s, WestJet currently flies to Vegas, Phoenix, LA, and a few Florida cities where we could feed each other passengers. From what our CEO said in a Chicago Tribune interview, I suspect they will be adding service to Chicago Midway. Baltimore and Denver wouldn’t surprise me, either. Here’s a link to the story.
