WestJet Vacations schedule changes

Updated March 2, 2022

In this guide, you will find our schedule change policy for changes that occur to flight segments of your client’s WestJet Vacations package.

Schedule change overview

Schedule changes are WestJet initiated changes made greater than 72 hours from departure. Airlines may be required to change their flight schedules for numerous reasons. Some reasons may include:

• Change in routing
• Changes to flight numbers or flight times
• Flights are no longer operating
• Seasonal demand

When a schedule change occurs, you will receive an email notification from WestJet providing you with the new flight schedule.

Notifications

In the event of a schedule change, you are responsible for notifying your client of all changes.

1. We will email schedule change information. The email will be sent to the email you included at time of booking. Some agents will choose to use their business direct email, a generic company email (eg. info@travelagency.com) or the guests email. Don’t forget to check your spam or junk folder depending on your account settings.
   
2. If the schedule change meets the criteria to contact us. Please discuss with your clients the different options and terms and conditions (listed below) associated with the options prior to contacting WestJet Vacations.
   
3. If required please have new travel plan, payment details and information ready so we can assist with changes right away.
