The new seasonal service, announced last November, will commence on May 3 2010.

Flights leave Toronto (YYZ) at 10.20 am and arrive in Bermuda (BDA) at 2.08 pm, with a flight time of 2 hours and 48 minutes.

The return flight departs from Bermuda at 3 pm and arrives in Toronto at 4.55 pm, a flight time of 2 hours and 55 minutes.

Introductory one-way fares are being offered as part of WestJet’s seat sale and start at $139.

Details of ticket prices and schedules will be released mid-December.

Ewart Brown, Premier of Bermuda and Minster of Tourism and Transport said, ‘We are delighted to welcome WestJet to Bermuda. Our island home has for a long time had strong business, cultural and educational ties to Canada. With more seats and lower fares that WestJet will undoubtedly bring, both Canadian visitors to our island shores and local residents travelling to Canada will now have a choice in direct air service between Bermuda and Toronto, the centre of Canada’s largest metropolitan area. We look forward to a longstanding relationship with WestJet.’
