WestJet unaccompanied minors: domestic nonstop trips only

It is not an option for an international journey or a connecting itinerary, and pets cannot accompany a child using the service. Choose the flight only after checking those limits, then use WestJet's request process to arrange the service. Include the child's age and accurate contact details for the adults at both ends. Obtain the service confirmation and payment instructions before treating the booking as complete; a flight reservation by itself is not your supervision plan. Give the child an accessible copy of the travel and contact details, and agree on what to do if the receiving adult is delayed. Review the airline's adult identification and handover requirements together. If the proposed trip needs a connection or crosses the Canadian border, arrange an appropriate accompanying traveler rather than expecting this domestic service to extend to it.
