Yep, not a lot of harm trying out a once a week flight. Tepic is actually one that I would consider using. I do an annual trip to a place that's about half way between Tepic and PV. Once highway 200D is extended to Tepic the driving time to my location would be not much longer than from PV.....but most importantly, it would allow me to avoid PV.

About the same-ish flying time as Punta Cana.

That's a long time in a Max 8, assuming they're using the Max 8.
 
Apologies - I must’ve misinterpreted the media release on Westjet’s website. They worded it like it was previously seasonal and had been increased to year round.

Guessing it got mentioned because it will be the first winter they are operating it. When they first tried MEX it only lasted one summer. But it was announced from the beginning as a year-round route.

They also mentioned its 4x weekly, but its currently bookable at 5x.
 
The full WS winter schedule is now live. Here's what's changed:

-YUL is now a red-eye instead of morning departure
-YYZ gets a 2nd red-eye in peak periods
-KOA increased to 3x weekly
-ATL Increased to 11x weekly
-ORD reduced to 2x weekly
-SNA reduced to 4x weekly
-MCO reduced to 8x weekly (No flights on Mon)
-MEX reduced to 4x weekly (as noted in the presser)
-LTO increased to 2x weekly
-TQO Increased to 2x weekly
-LIR Increased to 1x daily
-BZE Increased to 3x weekly
-NAS Increased to 2x weekly
-MBJ Increased to 3x weekly

Both MZT and PUJ pick up extra frequencies for Sunwing Vacations.

Frequent U.S. flyer calls Calgary Airport customs change 'idiotic'

Travellers heading through U.S. customs are now only allowed to enter security within two hours of their takeoff time.

“This decision by YYC is idiotic. They are exactly exasperating the very problem they claim to be trying to resolve,” Rouette said. He said the airport “is now creating a crush of people at the two-hour mark.”

WestJet said that they were made “in response to a reduced passenger processing capability by United States Customs and Border Patrol during peak hours.”

I think there's only one idiot here and it's not YYC.
