Priority security

We want you to get through security as quickly as possible. Have a look at the following points so your trip through will be smooth and easy.

  • Checked baggage containing items that are prohibited on board an aircraft may be opened by authorized security screeners for further inspection.
  • If further inspection is required, guests departing a Canadian airport may be contacted by security to be present during the inspection of their baggage. Guests departing a U.S. airport will not be contacted.
  • Reviewing restricted items will help in expediting the checked baggage screening process and will minimize the potential that you or your baggage will be delayed.

Move through security with ease. Priority security offers eligible guests access to the priority lane when departing from the participating airports below. This benefit may be available to:

  • WestJet Rewards Platinum and Gold members
  • Delta Diamond, Platinum and Gold Medallion® members 
  • Guests seated in Business or Premium
  • Guests who purchased Extended Comfort

Present your boarding pass at security to be directed to the priority lane should it be available.
