Nothing really all that exciting in this announcement -- it's a slight expansion of what was already announced. But this jumped out at me as the PR people tried hard to sell it:
CALGARY, AB, July 2, 2025 /CNW/ - WestJet today announced an expansion of its reciprocal codeshare partnership with Aeromexico, offering guests on both sides of the continent enhanced access to a broader network of destinations all with the ease of a single booking. Available today, guests travelling to and from WestJet's Canadian network, including its global hub in Calgary, can expand their horizons to some of the airlines' most interesting destinations with the convenience of booking their entire journey on one ticket, seamless single connection, baggage transfers and earning WestJet Rewards throughout.
A "seamless single connection"?
Clearly written by somebody who has not done the overnight trek between T1 and T2 at MEX. Sure, it's a seamless connection on the YYC end. But while connecting at MEX is many things, it sure ain't "seamless".
Perhaps instead they could sell it as an adventure tourism thing using an Amazing Race style of challenge.
"You land in the early morning hours at an airport that's almost entirely closed. Your next flight leaves from a completely different terminal -- that's located on the far opposite side of the massive airfield. The only way to get there is the airport train, but it's closed for the night. Go! And ... good luck."
