Exactly 3 years ago today, Canadian carrier Westjet announced on their YouTube page plans to begin service to popular planetary destinations such as the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter from their home base in Calgary! Today however, they finally had their first flight, branded under WestJet-X, to the Moon onboard a retrofitted 787-9. Westjet says they’ll start with the thrice-weekly service with future plans to expand to Mars for the low low price of 500,000CAD! One way
