Winter is here and the cold weather might already have you daydreaming about your next vacation in 2025. There's good news for all those in Calgary with the travel bug though — WestJet just announced a brand-new non-stop route from Calgary to Mexico City, and it’s taking off in 2025.

Starting May 14, 2024, Calgarians can head straight to Mexico’s capital with five flights departing every week. That means no more layovers — just smooth travel to one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Whether you’re into exploring colourful markets, checking out centuries-old landmarks, or diving headfirst into Mexico’s famous food scene, this route is perfect for your travel goals.

Daniel Fajardo, WestJet’s VP of Network and Schedule Planning said the new route will make it easier for Western Canadians to soak up Mexico City’s rich culture and history while also boosting tourism and trade across North America.

"WestJet's continued investment in popular sun destinations had made us the gateway between Canada and Mexico, bolstering both countries vital commercial and tourism economies," Fajardo said

Mexico City is packed with must-see attractions, like the Frida Kahlo Museum, Chapultepec Park, and some of the best food you could imagine. So, if you’re ready for a trip filled with sunshine and adventure, it’s time to start planning your 2025 escape.
