Yeah, I noticed that and tried entering a few different dates after May 6th. But maybe its the days of the week as I only tried Friday-Sunday combos.

Update: Tried different days of the week and still not working.

The RDU website doesn't list Westjet as a carrier serving the airport. But Westjet's website does. I'm not sure whats going on.

I think it's probably just because they haven't started flying it yet. Service begins in May. I'm not really sure, though. I saw it on google first and strongly considered it, but then we decided to rule it out because of the overnight layover in Toronto on the return so I haven't followed up on it.

I can find no evidence of WestJet flying in Raleigh. It doesn't seem to exist now or in the future. Raleigh doesn't even come up on their website.

The Google Flights link you provided has does not have you taking WestJet out of Raleigh.

WestJet's flights from RDU are codeshares operated by Delta/Delta Connection. Booking via WestJet out of RDU will generally involve a connection through LGA on Delta, then a flight on WestJet to Toronto.

Yep, what lb27608 said.

Sorry if I mislead anyone. It is a codeshare just like the Icelandair flight.

Delta/WestJet = Delta from RDU > LGA, WestJet from LGA > YZZ > LGW.

JetBlue/Icelandair = JetBlue from RDU > BOS, Icelandair from BOS > KEF, then KEF > LGW or LHR (flights to both Gatwick and Heathrow).

Correction: Raleigh-Paris begins in May, not April. My excitement was putting it a month early.

I'm hoping Delta flies one of their 757's with AVOD (seatback TV) - I recently flew the RDU-LHR in Y and it was a very boring long flight without AVOD

No AVOD? I can't imagine that. Sounds crazy. I've never flown on a 757 or 767 though, all my international flying have been on 777's or 787's.

Delta already confirmed it would have avod. See earlier in this thread. It's AA that doesn't have it.
