Let's hope Wales qualify for the World Cup and then they might have an increase.

Ever the eternal optimist re the football but I do wish the route success regardless

Well to my disappointment WestJet has followed the route of requiring an email to be entered before finding seat selection, and only allowing a maximum of 6 people per booking without a group booking, so individual loads can’t really be individually tracked. Luckily it’ll be a breeze on the CAA stats

It would be a good boost during that period especially as Wales would be scheduled to play in Toronto. Would also be excellent PR if the airport was able to persuade the FAW to use the route to travel out there as well. WestJet do offer Salt Lake City, where Wales would be based if they qualify, via a codeshare with Delta but Delta do offer SLC from Heathrow 5 weekly. Interestingly the flight to Toronto on the 11/6/26 is around 3 times as expensive as the days before that, average £254 on the 11th its £709 atm prices then go back to the £254 mark one way but at the end of June go up to £324 and above one way.
I also think that the World Cup may well be a double edged sword in that the price of accommodation could put people off travelling in that period.

Well sadly there'll be no Welsh presence at the World Cup this summer as Wales lost to Bosnia on penalties.

To be fair, even if they had won last night they were unlikely to beat Italy in the next round.

Cardiff Airport - Why Toronto Should Be Your Top Travel Pick for 2026

Have you tried the app?

Had an email from WestJet changing my flight times in September. The departure from Cardiff remains 11.35 but the arrival in Toronto is now 14.45. It was 14.30 so they've added 15 minutes. Flight time now 8 hours 10 minutes instead of 7 hours 55 minutes. I assume there must be an operational reason for this, I don't think the inbound times have changed though.
