VANCOUVER — Some travellers who checked baggage on certain WestJet flights between 2014 and 2019 may now claim their share of a class-action settlement approved by the British Columbia Supreme Court last month and valued at $12.5 million.
A statement from Evolink Law Group says anyone in the world who paid a fee for their first checked bag on domestic and international flights during certain periods when they shouldn't have been charged has until Feb. 10, 2025, to submit a claim.
It says the distribution will come after the deduction of class lawyer fees representing 1/3 of the settlement's value, additional legal disbursements and a $1,500 honorarium for the plaintiff, which WestJet was to pay in cash. The Calgary-based airline ultimately amended wording in its domestic tariff to remove mention that one checked bag would be free.
