How can I modify an existing booking with WestJet?
Being able to see the booking in an airline account does not mean every ticket transaction can be completed there. Next, decide what you are actually changing: the date, a return leg, the traveler’s details or the same-day departure. Those requests should not be treated as interchangeable. UltraBasic does not permit ordinary voluntary flight changes, and Member Exclusive travel has a different cancel-and-rebook process from a normal cash-ticket exchange. Have the original confirmation, passenger list, fare name and desired change ready. Ask for the complete revised itinerary before accepting a price, particularly when only one passenger or one part of the journey needs modification. Save the finished confirmation and compare it with the original. Avoid canceling a trip merely to discover what a change would cost; get the applicable options for the existing reservation first.
