The surf’s up in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca (PXM) and starting Dec. 12, 2025, it’s easier for Canadians to get there. This winter, WestJet is launching a weekly flight between the Pacific coastal town and WestJet’s hub in Calgary (YYC).
"Delivering this hidden gem to WestJet's network is another way we're fulfilling our promise to give Canadians more unforgettable and affordable getaways," said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "For those looking to trade snow for sunshine, Puerto Escondido offers the perfect escape; a vibrant blend of beautiful beaches, authentic Mexican flavors, world-class surfing and the warm, festive spirit that makes Mexico so special."
The new flight brings the total number of Mexican destinations directly accessible from Calgary to 15, including the newest routes to Guadalajara, Tepic (Riviera Nayarit) and Cozumel. Additionally, WestJet announced an extended non-stop service between Calgary and Mexico City year-round.
"Demand for meaningful travel is growing, and we're proud to work with WestJet to continue meeting it," said Balázs Bogáts, Chief Commercial Officer at Calgary Airports. "The addition of a route to Puerto Escondido brings more warmth and wonder to our winter offerings, giving travellers direct access to an energetic and culturally rich coastal town."
