  • Canadians Can Now Earn WestJet Dollars on Delta

    WestJet has launched a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement with Delta Air Lines, a codeshare partner with WestJet since 2012.

    Westjet-Delta-Dec12

    The agreement allows WestJet Rewards members to earn WestJet dollars on flights marketed and operated by Delta Air Lines, with access to Delta’s extensive global network of more than 300 destinations on six continents.

    “Our agreement with Delta Air Lines offers yet another great benefit to being a part of WestJet Rewards,” says Marshall Wilmot, WestJet vice-president, Product and Distribution. “The program is growing in scope and recognition with the recent introduction of Teal, Silver and Gold tiers and the success of the WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard, recently voted Canada’s top airline travel rewards card by Canadian consumers and MoneySense magazine for the second consecutive year. We will continue to look for ways to further expand the program to offer members even more benefits in the future.”

    In addition to the new accrual agreement, WestJet now also offers WestJet Rewards members the ability to use WestJet dollars on all codeshare flights marketed by WestJet and operated by Delta.

  • How to Avoid Catching a Cold on your next Flight

    If you’re flying over the holidays, you might be concerned about catching a cold from your fellow passengers.

    I found a useful infographic from the Advisory Board cautions you to use your own hand sanitizer if you have to use the germiest area of the plane, the bathroom, and also to use sanitizing hand wipes to clean the tray.

    avoid-colds-airplane

    Here is the complete source of the infographic.

    Try to avoid the aisle seat, which gets touched by people when they walk by, and if you’re within a two-seat radius of someone coughing or sneezing, try to get your seat changed or at least turn on the overhead vent.

    Have you ever been sick on a plane? This is why I hate taking red-eyes when I am feeling run-down.

    Air Canada Lowest Price Guarantee

    If, within 24 hours after completing a purchase on aircanada.com or aircanada.com/agent, you find a price for the exact same Air Canada flight that’s at least $5 less, Air Canada will offer you a credit of $50 plus the price difference, per passenger.

    Last Minute Upgrade Purchase

    Did you know that when you check in online, on your mobile device, or at a self-service Check-in Kiosk, on an Air Canada flight that you could be offered a Last Minute Upgrade Purchase to the Executive cabin.

    Some of the advantages of Executive travel, include:

    • priority security clearance
    • priority boarding
    • access to the Maple Leaf Lounge at the airport from which your upgraded flight segment departs
    • lie-flat beds on most international flights
    • premium wines, spirits and cuisine

    What you need to know is that the price of the Last Minute Upgrade is based on the flight segment for which the upgrade is being selected and for flights operated by Air Canada or Jazz departing from Canada or United States.

    A Last Minute Upgrade Purchase is not available for:

    • Air Canada codeshare flights or flights operated by other airlines;
    • Bookings with more than one passenger, if one of the passengers does not want to purchase an upgrade
    • Bookings with more than one passenger, when not all the passengers can be confirmed in the Executive cabin.
