Travel advisories

Phone Scam Alert

Telephone scammers are impersonating WestJet in an attempt to steal your personal information. WestJet does not use telemarketers or share guests' personal information. If you receive a call indicating that you've won "WestJet points/miles" or are a 'preferred customer" please hang up. Visit http://www.antifraudcentre.ca/ for more info on this and other types of scams.



Advisory - Dominican Republic

Starting on April 30, 2012, all Canadian citizens travelling to the Dominican Republic will be required to present a passport valid for the length of their stay. You must also hold a return ticket or proof of onward travel for entry.


Advisory - Nassau international bus

The Nassau airport is currently constructing a new international terminal which is estimated to be complete by fall, 2013. During this time we anticipate that check-in times will be longer as you will need to check in at the existing Nassau terminal building to clear security, after which you will be bused to the new international terminal departure gate.

Given our limited schedule in and out of Nassau, please account for this extra handling and travel time by showing up at the airport earlier than normal. Although our suggested check-in time is 90 minutes prior to departure, we recommend allowing additional time to ensure you catch your flight.


Advisory - St. Lucia and St. Vincent

Effective September 11, 2012, citizens of St. Lucia and St. Vincent require a visa to travel to Canada. For more information, please visit the government of Canada's St. Lucia and St. Vincent visitor's FAQ page. To submit a visa application by mail or in person, visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada page for information on the Canadian visa office in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
