How can I change a connecting or return flight with WestJet?
UltraBasic and Member Exclusive bookings need particular care because they do not follow every ordinary cash-ticket exchange step. For an agency, third-party or other-airline purchase, start with the seller. Give it the entire itinerary, explain whether you have already traveled, and state which flights and passengers must remain unchanged. Before accepting a replacement connection, compare it with both the incoming flight and the journey beyond it. Request the full exchange price and a revised itinerary showing all remaining flights. Do not skip an original segment as a substitute for arranging the change. Keep the final confirmation and check its dates, airports and travelers. If WestJet has disrupted the journey, say so before requesting an ordinary voluntary return-date change, since the reason for the request affects which options should be assessed.
Important unknowns
