WestJet seat payments: Travel Bank and points use different channels

During booking, both Travel Bank and WestJet points can pay for seats; a minimum points redemption applies.

Important unknowns

  • The source does not establish the outcome of an individual request. Confirm current instructions with the airline; the effective date of these provisions is not established.

What to do next

  1. Identify the account

    After booking, use telephone assistance for Travel Bank seat payment. For points, Manage Trips offers payment of 50% or 100% of the seat cost.

  2. Use the official recovery route

    At check-in, points must cover the full seat fee. At the airport, points cannot pay for seats, while an airport agent can take Travel Bank payment.

  3. Keep your request focused

    Decide which balance you intend to use and when you are buying the seat. Check the traveler, flight, seat description and displayed charge before completing the payment. Keep the seat confirmation and payment breakdown together so a later question identifies the actual transaction. This guide supplies no fixed points minimum or passenger-specific seat quote.
