How online check-in works
Online check-in is available on www.westjet.com and typically opens 24 hours before your flight departure. Check-in closes approximately 1 hour before domestic flights and 2 hours before international flights.
Steps to check in online:
- Visit www.westjet.com and select 'Manage Booking' or 'Check In'.
- Enter your booking reference and passenger name or email address.
- Review your flight details and select your seat (if not already assigned).
- Add baggage or other services if needed.
- Confirm your check-in and download your boarding pass or receive it via email.
- Proceed to the airport security checkpoint with your boarding pass and identification.
Practical tip: Complete check-in as soon as the 24-hour window opens, especially for popular flights, to secure preferred seat selections and avoid last-minute delays.
