Who’s Heading Back to England?

I had the pleasure of attending WestJet’s special announcement event, where they unveiled their new seasonal, daily direct flights to Gatwick Airport starting in May 2016. Despite the news leaking online beforehand, being there in person was still thrilling. The introductory rate of $199 one-way, including taxes, certainly sweetened the deal, and I couldn’t resist the charm of free checked baggage for international flights.

Celebrating with WestJet

The event itself was a delightful affair, complete with tea and sandwiches to mark the occasion. Attendees, including media and travel professionals, were treated to WestJet’s signature teal tea and even received a generous 50% off coupon for their next flight.

A Surprise Win and New Adventures

The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the game of Heads or Tails, where the winner would receive a return flight for two to Gatwick. After some nerve-wracking rounds, I emerged victorious! Winning this trip brought back memories of a previous WestJet win that allowed me to take my mom on a memorable trip to Vancouver, which became even more precious after she passed away.

Looking Ahead:

My upcoming journey to England marks my return after 11 years, eager to capture updated photos and create new memories. Whether I explore England or use London as a gateway to other destinations, I’m excited for the adventures ahead.
