DURATIONS AND FLIGHT OPTIONS FOR WVI Most popular durations 

Durations will vary by market (i.e. LAS 3, 4, 7 & CUN 7, 10, 14)

Durations 

SIREV displays up to a maximum of 8 durations

Most popular Origin/Destination pairs 

The pairings consist of our top selling Origin/Destinations and include WestJet Vacation’s top selling destinations from the smaller Canadian markets

Any Origin/Destination pair 

WestJet Vacations has increased the origin/destination pairings to include many cities that were not accessible through SIREV or Revnet previously.



WestJet Vacations has made the decision to limit some Origin/Destination pairings from displaying in SIREV.



As WestJet’s flight network is very extensive, if WestJet Vacations was to add all of WestJet’s origins and destinations to into SIREV, it would be very difficult to maintain accuracy.

Double connect flights 

This functionality is available on all channels
