FYI...
********************************************
Las Vegas and Cancun just got a whole lot closer to London.
Starting in late October, WestJet Airlines will begin flying direct flights from London International Airport to both locations.
Las Vegas flights depart Thursdays and Sundays at a cost of $179. Flights to Cancun, Mexico leave on Saturdays and Wednesdays at a cost of $159.
"This is fantastic news for our region" said Mike Seabrook, Vice President at London International Airport in a news release.
"Cancun continues to wear the crown as the most popular winter destination from Canada and we expect these flights to be very popular. For Las Vegas we believe WestJet has really hit a "home run". Vegas has always been a huge market from London and the Southwestern Ontario area and with Thursday/Sunday service WestJet has exceptional flight times. With our new expanded terminal building and the ease and convenience of London International Airport we expect great support from our region for these new flights".
WestJet already offers flights this winter from London to Orlando, Calgary and Winnipeg.
The flights to Vegas and Cancun begin October 30th, 2011.
**************************************************
WestJet has announced in a press release today that they’ll be providing service to Las Vegas from Hamilton beginning in the fall. The twice-weekly trip will initially start out as a trial run for 11 weeks, and then will be re-evaluated afterwards.
The flight will commence on Mondays and Fridays, with the flight originating in Las Vegas. It will depart the entertainment capital at 9:45 AM, arriving in Hamilton just after 5 PM. It will then depart Hamilton at 6 PM and arrive in Vegas at 7:39PM.

Not impressed that it's non-direct. The price sucks too.
Next thing you know they'll fly out of KW to Vegas
I don't get it, how much do you guys pay for a direct with Westjet return trip out of yyz. $425 sounds pretty decent.
We're just used to paying much less out of Buffalo or Detroit n years past.
Then I will be in trouble.
I'll keep looking at flights for February. Anything around $500 seems decent, especially if it's direct and 2 hours closer to home with no boarder crossing.
Any feedback on this joint?
Depends which Towers, but you can't go wrong with Planet Hollywood and their location.
And price will depend on when you're flying out and duration of your trip.
I think there already are flights to vegas out of KW. its not with west jet though.
Actually you can fly Westjet out of Kitchener to Vegas, via Calgary tho...
