FAQs

How do I check in using my mobile device?

In your mobile device's web browser, go to www.westjet.com/mobile

When can I check in and select my seat?

Mobile check-in is available 24 hours before your flight, right up until one hour prior to your scheduled departure.

I'm planning to check a bag. Where should I go once I get to the airport?

Depending on your location and travel destination, mobile check-in will direct you to either a self-serve bag tagging kiosk or Bag Drop area where a WestJet agent will be happy to help you.

I checked in and selected my seat but I can't email my boarding pass. How come?

Emailing a boarding pass is unavailable for international flights. You can still print your boarding pass at a kiosk or through web check-in.

If you made a special service request, you may need to pick up your boarding pass from a WestJet agent at Guest Assistance. This will help us make sure we meet your unique travel needs.

Why can't I check in?

Unaccompanied minors, guests travelling with a personal oxygen cylinder, guests who have purchased an extra seat, and guests travelling in a group of more than nine guests with the same last name must check in with a WestJet agent at Guest Assistance.

Which mobile devices are supported for mobile check in?

Most web-enabled mobile devices support mobile check-in.
