Describe WestJet in three words... 

Caring from (the) heart and going above and beyond.

Best travel trip? 

Dress in layers, bring an outfit in your carry-on bag, wear comfortable shoes and always be prepared with snacks on hand and a water bottle.

What has the last year been like for you?          

Travelling was at a standstill and being part of it was both challenging and rewarding.  We were able to continue connecting loved ones for whatever reasons they needed to travel and bring them a small piece of comfort and joy during a difficult time.

What does winning a WestJet Group Award mean to you? 

I'm honoured and humbled to be recognized and to receive this prestigious award as it provides welcome confirmation and acknowledgement that my values align with the company I love. I always remind myself to treat others with dignity and kindness ... the golden rule, treat others as you would like to be treated.

“Christina never fails to take a moment with each guest onboard her aircraft and won't hesitate to do those magical little things that make peoples’ day a little better and the flight smoother,” said Lisa Davis, WestJet Encore, Vice-President & General Manager.
