Domestic: For flights within Canada, all guests aged 18 and over will be required to present one piece of valid government issued photo ID showing their name, date of birth and gender. If a valid government issued photo ID is not available, then two pieces of valid government issued non-photo ID will be required, one of which must show name, date of birth and gender. ID is not required for children under the age of 12; however, it is recommended.

International: Travellers are responsible for obtaining and carrying all necessary documentation such as, but not limited to: visa, passport, citizenship card, birth certificate, vaccination certificates and certified legal letter for children travelling with only one parent. Identification must meet the requirements set by immigration and aviation authorities in each country. WestJet and WestJet Vacations strongly recommend that you contact your destination country’s embassy for your specific entrance requirements. It is the guest’s responsibility to ensure they have the appropriate identification and travel documentation for their flight as neither WestJet nor Swoop are responsible for denied entry.

WestJet Vacations is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information and has developed a privacy policy to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, which is available at Privacy policy.

Because of the nature of the airline industry, and concerns with respect to safety and security, there may be situations in which WestJet and Swoop are required by legal authorities to collect, use or disclose personal information about you, particularly when you are travelling with us, without your knowledge or consent. Information that we are required to collect by any Canadian, U.S. or international government authorities, depending on your boarding location and destination, may include, as required by such authorities, your full name, date of birth, citizenship, gender, passport number and country of issuance, U.S. Visa number, Resident Alien card number, the means by which you paid for your flight, details as to how it was booked, and any other personal information collected by us as set out in this policy or as required by such government authority.

Global Affairs Canada offers a registration service for all Canadians travelling or living abroad. This service is provided so that government officials can contact you to assist with an emergency in a foreign country, such as a natural disaster or civil unrest, or inform you of a family emergency at home. Please visit https://travel.gc.ca/ to register.

A piece of valid government issued photo ID that proves your Canadian residency is required upon hotel check-in. Some hotels may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses or incidentals during your stay. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by WestJet Vacations for your hotel booking with the Supplier. Please contact hotel for details. For non-Canadian residents, hotels reserve the right to charge the difference to the applicable rate, based on the guest’s country of residence. WestJet Vacations is not responsible for these additional charges imposed by the hotel if proper identification is not presented at check-in. Check-in and check-out times vary by property and may not coincide with flight arrival and departure times. All-inclusive privileges begin at the time of check in and end at time of check out. All guests who wish to check out later than the specified hotel check-out time are required to pay any additional charges that the hotel will impose upon them directly to the hotel.

WestJet Vacations will forward requests for specific room types, bedding configurations and other room requests to the hotel. We cannot guarantee they will be available.

WestJet Vacations has developed a rating guide to help you choose the property that best suits your needs and budget. Our ratings are based on WestJet Vacations’ assessment of each property’s available facilities, services, location and amenities. WestJet Vacations strives to ensure that the descriptions on our website are current at all times; however, for reasons beyond our control, changes can occur which may affect our ratings. As such, our hotel rating system should be used as a guideline only and is subject to change without notice. Any photographs appearing on westjetvacations.com are for your information only and are not guaranteed to be an exact representation of what a property will resemble upon arrival.

WestJet Vacations will make every effort to ensure that the hotel information described online is current and accurate however we cannot be held responsible for changes to hotel services or inconveniences as a result of hotel construction.

WestJet Vacations works diligently to align ourselves with travel suppliers who share our values in providing guests a positive experience. Our WestJet Vacations local representatives are available in most international sun destinations to offer support and liaise with our suppliers in the event you need assistance during your stay. Any issue you encounter must be brought to the travel supplier’s attention while you are in destination, so they have the opportunity to rectify the problem and ensure you continue to have an enjoyable holiday. Please file your written complaint with the hotel, transportation company, excursion provider, or with the appropriate supplier. We recommend you obtain a copy of it, and also contact our local representative. If no local representative is available, please contact WestJet Vacations at 1-877-737-7001.

Travelling abroad with a special need can pose unique challenges. International accessibility services and amenities may not meet Canadian or American standards and may differ from location to location. In some cases they may not be available at all. Although WestJet Vacations strives to ensure that appropriate arrangements are made to make your vacation a remarkable experience, we cannot guarantee the availability of or access to accommodations for guests with special needs in destinations outside of Canada and the U.S. WestJet Vacations is not liable for any costs, damages, or losses, whether directly or indirectly, arising from or related to the lack of any such access or accommodations. Please call us at 1-877-737-7001 so that we can help ensure your vacation needs are met and provide you with a list of our current hotel partners that may be able to meet your travel needs.

WestJet utilizes a ticketless reservation system. You do not require a paper ticket for your flight. In most cases, vouchers or tickets are not required to redeem for hotel, car, activities, or services. A piece of photo identification is enough to redeem vacation services. You will be notified if a voucher is required for any part of your vacation. Multiple guests traveling on the same itinerary but booked on separate bookings will not be identified as a group, will not receive group services, and may be subject to cancellation.

When travelling, you should recognize and respect the social and political standard of living. This includes religion, local practices, political systems and the conditions of utilities, services and accommodation which may differ from those found in your own country. WestJet Vacations will not assume responsibility for any services including water, electricity, security, sanitary conditions, pools, food and beverage, which may be interrupted or suspended during your stay. Food, water and beverages may not be on par with a Canadian or US standard. You must assume sole responsibility for any illness suffered while travelling or upon return due to the quality of the food, water and beverages.

WestJet Vacations makes arrangements with suppliers who provide travel services such as air travel, hotel accommodation, bus travel, sightseeing, attractions, car rental or other services included in your package. Although we try our best to choose the most reputable suppliers, we cannot be responsible for their acts and/or omissions. The package components are subject to the conditions imposed by these suppliers, and their liability may, in turn, be limited by their tariffs, conditions of carriage, tickets and vouchers and international conventions and arrangements. WestJet Vacations acts only in the capacity of an agent for guests or the supplier of goods and services rendered. As such, we maintain no control over the personnel, equipment, operations or goods of the supplier. When you fly to and from your destination, WestJet’s tariffs apply, including limits on and/or exclusions of liability. WestJet Vacations assumes no responsibility for a schedule change by WestJet nor any additional costs (accommodation, meals, etc.) caused by flight delays or misconnections.

Guests have the option to participate in excursions, tours or other activities (collectively, the “excursions”) that may be offered by local representatives or third-party suppliers for an additional fee. Some excursions may have a risk of personal injury, loss or damage and are purchased at the guest’s sole risk. WestJet Vacations assumes no responsibility for any claim, loss, damage, cost, quality, or expense arising from a guest's participation in such excursions. Any written or oral contract is considered to be exclusively between the guest and the Supplier.

Flight times, airlines and type of aircraft are subject to change and substitution. WestJet Vacations will make every effort to inform guests of any changes. You are urged to check-in 24 hours prior to departure for WestJet operated flights on https://www.westjet.com and for Swoop operated flights on https://www.flyswoop.com/check-in/. You should also reconfirm flight times. We will not assume responsibility for expenses incurred as a result of flight delays. You must contact your hotel and/or car rental company in the event that you are delayed beyond the expected time of arrival. You can also contact WestJet Vacations at 1-877-737-7001 if alternate travel arrangements are required.
