    On the Book a flight search tool on the home page of westjet.com, click on the "Book a flight using WestJet dollars" link.

    Can other guests on my itinerary see the bookings I've made for them?

    Your WestJet ID is limited to your individual use, and we suggest that you do not share your login information with anyone else. If you wish to send itineraries to other travel companions, you will receive an email with guest and itinerary information that you can forward.
