How to Cancel the Flight?
It is easy to request for the WestJet Flight cancellation and there are three methods online, through call and offline.
- The online method will ask you to visit the official website and go to your bookings where you will be asked to enter your booking details.
- Enter your booking number along with your surname and then click on the flight that you want to cancel and select the cancel the flight button. The refund form is there to be filled if you’re eligible for the refund.
- If you want to cancel your booking through a call then you must reach out to the customer care number. If booked through a third party, call the travel agent and request the cancellation.
- Lastly, if you want to get it done in an offline mode then you need to visit the airport check-in or customer service counter. Make sure you have all your documents with you that you had to book a flight.
The Cancellation Charges-
As this airline has a 24 hours window policy, it means if you cancel your ticket after 24 hours, there will be cancellation fees applicable to you. You can cancel your flight until 2 hours before the departure but the later you cancel the higher you will pay.
- The cancellation fees will be varying between $100 to $700 CAD. The fees vary depending on the routes and dates of travel.
- The basic fares are extremely rigid but if we talk about standard fare, the fees will be $250 to $500 CAD.
- In flex fare, the cancellation fee is comparatively low between $100 to $200 CAD. Sometimes there is no fee applicable.
- In premium fare, there is no cancellation fee and they will even give you a full refund whenever you cancel.
