Just note if you choose Westjet for that route you'll be an an absolute clunker from Thomas Cook. Although it looks like Thomas Cook is in the process of ditching their 757-200s for A320s.

Keep in mind WestJet doesn't maintain anything but 737s, so they bring in Thomas Cook maintenance personnel and equipment to YYC and YEG specifically for the OGG flights, and I had the wonderful opportunity to turn back while over the Pacific and head all the way back to YYC at a low speed and low altitude because of pressurization problems with said clunker. We then got to wait for most of the day while a maintenance staff far away from their usual facilities attempted to repair it. On the way home our aircraft had problems with the potable water system.

I would rather hop through YVR and fly on WestJet aircraft.
