As of June 4, the Basic fare is being replaced by UltraBasic across domestic and transborder routes. However, it comes with a number of changes and restrictions.
WestJet is rebranding its lowest-prices fares as UltraBasic, doing away with a free carry-on bag and automatically-assigned seating. Alissa Thibault reports.
As of Tuesday, the Basic fare is being replaced by UltraBasic across domestic and transborder routes. It consists of a number of restrictions, including no carry-on bags unless the passenger is travelling on a transatlantic or transpacific flight, or if the passenger purchases Extended Comfort for all flights in a single direction, including connections.WestJet says personal items that fit under the seat in front are allowed and checking a bag is allowed for an additional fee.
Anyone flying UltraBasic will be the last to board, they cannot change, cancel or refund their ticket and they will not be able to earn WestJet Rewards. “We believe these changes will help us continue to provide competitive air travel options while focusing on operational excellence,” the airline said in a statement.Newborn found in shopping bag the 3rd baby deserted by same parents: U.K. courtNewborn found in shopping bag the 3rd baby deserted by same parents: U.K. court
