The flight may be operated by WestJet, WestJet Encore, WestJet Link by Pacific Coastal Airlines, or a partner airline.

4. WestJet Vacations packages are packaged vacations for up to nine guests on a single booking which include, at minimum, airfare on WestJet-marketed flights and accommodations, and are sold for a combined base package price. Earn rate on eligible WestJet Vacations packages is calculated as a percentage back in WestJet dollars on the base package price and awarded individually to each member on the booking for their proportionate share of the total eligible spend; taxes, fees and charges are not eligible. WestJet dollars are not awarded on WestJet Vacations group bookings (10 or more guests on the same reservation).

Ancillary products, such as car rentals sold by a third-party partner, or hotel stays, meal plans, attractions and transfers sold as part of a land-only booking (i.e. without airfare) by WestJet Vacations, are eligible for WestJet dollar accrual.  Earn rate on ancillary products is calculated as a set percentage back in WestJet dollars on the total base amount of the completed transaction; taxes, fees, charges, and extras are not eligible. When ancillary products are purchased from a third-party partner, WestJet dollars are awarded to one member only based on the total eligible spend of the booking. When ancillary products are purchased from WestJet Vacations as a land-only booking, WestJet dollars are awarded individually to each member on the booking for their proportionate share of the total eligible spend, except where only one member is listed on all or some of the reservations for the ancillary products, in which case only the member listed will be awarded WestJet dollars for the applicable portion of the eligible spend.
