This significant change follows the final departure of Sunwing Airlines flights on May 28th, marking the complete integration of Sunwing’s aircraft into WestJet’s fleet. The unification of flight operations means that travelers booking through Sunwing Vacations will now enjoy a streamlined and consistent travel experience both on the ground and in the air under WestJet’s service standards.

This integration represents a major step toward providing vacationers with seamless service, benefiting from WestJet’s established reputation for customer care, enhanced amenities, and improved operational efficiencies. Customers can now anticipate a more cohesive journey from check-in to arrival, with WestJet’s policies and systems fully in place for all Sunwing Vacations travelers.

Important Customer Experience Updates Under WestJet’s Service

Alongside the fleet transition, several key changes have taken effect to align with WestJet’s travel procedures and policies:

• Check-in Process: Vacationers will now check in at dedicated WestJet airport counters or conveniently online via WestJet.com or the WestJet mobile app. Both options open 24 hours before departure, allowing passengers to secure their boarding passes ahead of time.
• Reservation Codes: To streamline flight check-in, WestJet reservation codes will be made accessible through Sunwing’s Manage My Booking portal five days prior to departure, giving customers ample time to prepare.
• Baggage Allowance: All customers are entitled to carry one personal item and one carry-on bag free of charge. This marks a clear and straightforward baggage policy aligned with WestJet’s standards.
• Early Booking Baggage Offer: Sunwing Vacations now rewards travelers who book ahead with a special benefit. When booking qualified vacation packages at least two months in advance, the first checked bag will be complimentary. This offer applies during specific booking and travel windows, rewarding customers for early commitment.
• Additional Baggage Options: For last-minute travelers or those requiring extra luggage, checked bags can be purchased starting from \$35 per bag, providing flexible options based on individual travel needs.
• Seat Selection: Travelers may select Standard Economy or Exit Row seats beginning at \$15. Limited Extended Comfort seating is also available on select routes for an additional fee, enhancing in-flight comfort options.
• Ancillary Services: Beyond flights and baggage, ancillaries such as seat upgrades and excursions remain available via the Manage My Booking portal or through Sunwing’s Sales Centre, up to 24 hours before departure. This ensures customers maintain control over their travel experience and can customize their vacations with ease.
