WestJet Compensation

Whether you are on a vacation or business trip, unexpected delays and cancellations can cause chaos among the most seasoned travellers. A GAO analysis revealed that around 15 million airline passengers experienced flight delays and cancellations.

Flight disruptions can leave us feeling powerless and out of control. The airline may offer compensation or replacement flights to rectify the situation, but it can often be a lengthy and stressful process.

Here is everything you need to know about how Skycop can assist you with your WestJet compensation claim.

WestJet Compensation for Flight Delays and Cancellations

WestJet may have told you that your flight delay or cancellation was caused by circumstances beyond their control or “extraordinary circumstances.” We can investigate whether you are entitled to flight compensation from WestJet by asking some key questions.

When Are You Entitled To WestJet Flight Compensation?

Passengers are protected by EU Air Passenger Rights Regulation 261 which states that airlines must provide compensation in situations where flights are delayed more than 3 hours. WestJet should explain the many reasons why you may experience flight disruptions so you can decide whether you should claim WestJet compensation.

The airline states that passengers must be on a flight to, from, or within Canada to claim flight compensation from WestJet.

Flight Disruptions

Disruptions are common when travelling by air, and are often beyond the airline’s control. However, overbooked flights or staff shortages can cause delays and cancellations. In these cases, you should receive a refund, alternative flight, or WestJet baggage delay compensation.

Schedule Change

Passengers must be notified of a schedule change at least two weeks before the travel date. Unannounced schedule changes can cause issues with onward travel and passengers should receive compensation for missed flights as per WestJet’s claim compensation policy.

Flight Cancellations

Passengers can claim compensation for flights that are cancelled for reasons within WestJet’s control. If alternative travel arrangements are not available through the airline then a full refund should be issued by WestJet.

Extraordinary Circumstances

Extraordinary circumstances are often used by airlines to shift the blame and avoid paying compensation to passengers. Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances that cause disruption include:

• Acts of terrorism or sabotage
• Extreme weather conditions
• Political unrest
• Strikes unrelated to the airline (air traffic control)

Such circumstances require the airline to cancel flights to ensure the safety of its passengers and staff.

Experienced Delayed Flights With Westjet?

If you arrive at your destination 3 hours late or more, then you could request flight compensation from WestJet for a delayed flight.

Westjet Surprised You With Flight Cancellation?

The policy states that passengers may claim flight cancellation compensation from WestJet if they were informed 14 days or less before the original departure time. The reason for the cancellation must be within WestJet’s control.
