NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Southwest Airlines Co. on Tuesday began offering a link on its site for customers wanting to buy tickets on Canada's WestJet, the first step in a marketing agreement between the two carriers.
Southwest vice president of marketing Kevin Krone said the link would help introduce Southwest customers to the Canadian carrier's brand and service.
Southwest and WestJet Airlines Ltd. announced this year they would eventually sell seats on each other's flights as if they were one airline.
WestJet planes will do the cross-border flying under the so-called code-sharing agreement. A schedule for those flights will be announced late next year, Southwest said.
Southwest does not fly beyond the U.S. border but has announced the WestJet deal and a similar agreement with Volaris to serve Mexico. It is looking for partners that will let Southwest sell travel to the Caribbean and eventually Europe.
Southwest Airlines shares added 15 cents, or 2 percent, to $7.75 in morning trading.

No bold font? That's not the Blastor that has entertained me over the years.
That post confuses me so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tell Blastor to "f" off or not.
Oh well, it's Christmas so I'll go easy on him.
Blastor, have a merry holiday and go ram it somewhere!
