Service Fees
This handy page outlines any fees that may come up when travelling as our guest.
The fee amounts show the minimum to maximum tax (0-18 per cent) payable, which may be applicable in some circumstances, unless otherwise noted, fees are shown in Canadian dollars. Please note, fees are generally charged in the currency of the reservation, however, in some cases they may also be charged in the currency of the country you're travelling to or from, and credit card exchange rates apply.
Are you travelling with one of our airline partners? The policies of the other carrier may apply. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the fees for your journey.
If you booked through a travel agent (online or directly), corporate travel arranger, or another airline please contact them directly.

Reimbursements
If a bag is lost, you'll be reimbursed for your baggage fee (not including excess valuation) in addition to settlement for the loss of bags.
Carry-on baggage
Carry-on items help to make your trip more comfortable and convenient. We do our best to accommodate your carry-on allowance in the cabin, but acceptance of carry-on baggage is subject to space availability. If adequate space is not available, carry-on items will be placed in checked baggage (and be unavailable for the duration of the flight) at no cost.
Good guideline: your souvenir stuffed buffalo head is definitely going in checked baggage.
Items that do not fit into the sizing device or exceed your fare’s carry-on allowance will be placed in checked baggage and applicable baggage fees may be collected.

**Fees are charged in the currency of the original transaction. Credit card exchange rates apply.
If you have paid for your reservation using a credit card or payment card and you'd like to use your Travel Bank credit(s) instead, please contact us within 24 hours of making your reservation. Changing the form of payment after 24 hours from the time of booking is not possible.
Life sometimes gets in the way of other plans. We understand, and we try to be as accommodating as possible when plans change at the last minute, and that’s why we offer the flexibility to make a same-day change close to your time of departure.
What is a same-day change?
A same-day change is a confirmed flight change requested starting at 24 hours before departure where the only difference is the time of departure. This means, when there is an earlier or later flight available, you may make a change, for a fee, at the airport or by calling WestJet if:
- the flight is from the same origin to the same destination;
- the flight is on the same calendar day as the original departure;
- the flight is operated by WestJet (or WestJet Encore)
- you purchased one of the following fares: Econo, EconoFlex, Premium, PremiumFlex, Business, BusinessFlex or Member Exclusive (Economy, Premium or Business); and
- there is a seat available in the same cabin as originally booked.
Note: When flight is part of a WestJet Vacations package booking, same-day changes will apply to the flight only. WestJet and WestJet Vacations are not responsible for any impact to other planned or reserved activities, including but not limited to transfers, hotel reservations, excursions, etc. Any unused components will be forfeited.
When is a same-day change not available?
Same-day flight changes are not available when:
- an UltraBasic fare has been purchased;
- you are travelling on a charter flight;
- there is only one departure scheduled for that day; or
- there are no remaining departures for the day (i.e., you are on the last flight of the day).
- itinerary includes an overnight connection with flight departures on two different calendar days.
If your reservation is not eligible for a same-day change, regular change and cancel rules (and applicable fees) will apply.
If you fail to check in or board before the cut-off times, or to request a same-day change to your flight before it departs, you will be considered a no-show for your flight.
As an exclusive benefit available to Platinum and Gold WestJet Rewards members only, they will be able to contact WestJet up to two hours after flight departure to move to another flight departing on the same calendar day, based on availability.
Same-day flight change fees (plus taxes) will be charged per guest. A difference in fare will not be charged. Any reduction in fare will not be credited.
