God love ya, WestJet.
They threw a lovely party for the inaugural St. John's-Dublin direct flight yesterday. Via YYT on Twitter:
Éire & Talamh an Éisc, together again!
And today:
Almost home:
The flight time from St. John's to Dublin is just over 4 hours.
Previously, flying from St. John's to Dublin would take, at minimum, 11 hours (3.5 to TO, 3.5 back, and then the distance from St. John's to Dublin).
AND Dublin is a hub for air travel to Europe. Once you're there, you can pick up a flight anywhere on the continent for pocket change.
And all of this for half the price of Air Canada's direct St. John's-London flight.
I love this!
I can't wait to go!
