American Airlines, WestJet Team Up

American Airlines and Canadian carrier WestJet Airlines are expanding their cooperative relationship by introducing reciprocal frequent flier opportunities. Under this agreement, members of the American Airlines AAdvantage program and WestJet's WestJet Rewards program can earn AAdvantage miles or WestJet dollars when traveling on flights operated by the other airline.

This expanded relationship is in addition to the comprehensive codeshare agreement American and WestJet currently have in place that provides customers of both airlines more choices and greater connectivity when traveling between U.S. and Canadian gateways and beyond to cities throughout both countries.

Currently, the two airlines' cooperative relationship provides American's customers with codeshare service on 43 routes operated by WestJet, and provides WestJet's customers with codeshare service on 61 routes operated by American and American Eagle.

Through this codeshare agreement, the two airlines serve Canada from all five of American's key hubs of Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami and New York.
