Calgary to Austin, Texas - $176 (CB) to $361 CAD roundtrip including taxes [Nonstop Flights]

Austin, Texas

WestJet has dropped the price of a few flights from Calgary to Austin, Texas down to between $176 and $361 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights are nonstop both ways.

I consider $176 roundtrip to be WestJet's clickbait (CB) price because it doesn't include checked luggage or carry-on. Not exactly a realistic way to travel.

$361 roundtrip is the more realistic price because at least it includes checked luggage.

But those with the WestJet World Elite credit card can take advantage of the clickbait price as it includes free checked luggage.
