WestJet allowing free departure airports changes for Kelowna
Hi all,
Just a PSA that as its been 4-5 days of most flights being cancelled to/from Kelowna and still looking very bad for the next several days, I called WJ today to get the first leg of my flights on Thursday from Kelowna to Calgary to Paris changed to fly Vancouver to Calgary instead. The agent told me they are allowing the departure airport change for free right now because of the travel advisory and major continued impacts from the fore fires in the region. Note: they first told me it would cost me, but I reminded the agent of the wildfire situation, the continued cancellations, and their own travel advisory, and after 5 mins on hold they returned to tell me its a free change.
I return through Vancouver already and am dropping the last leg into Kelowna. I found ParknFly near YVR to have the best rate for just over 3 weeks of parking. Good luck everybody!
