Checked Baggage Fees On The Rise
WestJet Announces Changes To Charges For Bags, Exit Row Seat Selection
WestJet has increased fees on checked baggage and advance seat selection in exit rows.
The new rates apply to bookings made from Nov. 3 onward for travel on or after Jan. 6, 2016. Bookings made prior to Nov. 3 are not affected.
First bag fees of $25 now apply ($35 for a second piece of baggage, and $100 for third and fourth pieces) to guests travelling to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and Europe, as well as guests travelling on domestic and transborder routes. Guests who purchase a WestJet Vacations package or make a group booking to Mexico, Caribbean, Central America or Europe will continue to be able to check a first bag at no charge.
Guests that are travelling on a Flex or Plus fare get one free checked bag for Flex, and two for Plus. Guests that are either a Silver or Gold Rewards member and WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard holders can check a bag for free.
Fees for advance booking of an exit row are now $10, $30, $40 or $50, depending on the distance travelled.
