August 4 Update: We're back, WestJet Connect officially launched, 30% Bonus on buying Hyatt Gold Passport Points

Not too much to bring you after the long weekend as we spent most of our time working on getting our sites back up after our our UK site was compromised. Good news is Rewards Canada is up and so is FrequentFlyerBonuses.com but our UK site will be down for sometime still.

Late last week WestJet announced that their inflight Wi-fi and connectivity system officially launched. (Source WestJet)

"it has begun rolling out its new inflight entertainment system featuring wireless Internet connectivity and more than 450 movies and television programs. Called WestJet Connect, the system will be activated on all of WestJet's Boeing 767ER aircraft and more than 30 per cent of WestJet's Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft by end of 2015, with installations on the majority of the 737 fleet expected to be completed in 2016. "

I actually flew on one of these planes about a week and a half ago although the system wasn't turned on yet. It had no TV screens but every seat had the 110V/USB plugs along with the seatback card explaining the WestJet Connect system.

WestJet Encore is expanding service out of Edmonton with a new daily route to Nanaimo and increased frequency to four other cities in Western Canada. (Source Airlineroute.net)
