Our fares
New fare names. New WestJet experiences.
We recently refreshed our fares with new names, and added a highly-anticipated Business fare for our 787 Dreamliner. While our Plus name has changed to Premium, you’ll still enjoy the same great benefits. Also, any fare with “Flex” in the name includes the change/cancel option.4 Please note: Change/cancel included on EconoFlex is valid only on flights within Canada. Below is a guide to our updated fares.
Business and BusinessFlex
The travel experience we offer has been redefined with the introduction of a Business cabin in the newest member of our fleet, the 787 Dreamliner. We are looking forward to welcoming you on board in 2019. Spacious pods with lie-flat seats and refined dining from our restaurant-style menu is just the beginning.7,9 When you book a Business or BusinessFlex fare you’ll quickly realize that we mean business, too.
Premium and PremiumFlex (previously Plus)
Our Plus fare has been reimagined and named Premium. When you book Premium or PremiumFlex, you’ll still experience more leg and elbow room, and food and beverages included in your fare.6,7 If you initially booked a Plus fare, the only change here is the name itself, and you’ll be seated in Premium. Please note: Seating configurations may vary by aircraft.
EconoFlex (previously Flex)
Whether you’re travelling for business or leisure you will get the flexibility you want with change/cancel options included on travel within Canada.4 This fare also includes standard seat selection and one checked bag.5
Basic (previously Econo (Lowest))
If you know you’re not going to make itinerary changes, and just want to get from A to B, then this is the fare for you.1,2,3
