Loyalty programs[edit]

Where would be the best place in the article to mention WestJet Rewards and their upcoming program with RBC, Ampli? Daylen (talk) 03:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is not Wikipedia policy to provide free advertising to corporations. Per WP:SOAP Mediatech492 (talk) 03:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Concern over Marketing-Style of Writing[edit]

I've noticed a few problems with this airline page that makes it a bit different from other airline pages:

In-Flight Services & Cabins: This section is downright excessive and unnecessarily long, written in a fairly passive but still promotional feel. This needs to be reviewed.

{Cjstepney (talk) 20:16, 11 March 2020 (UTC)}[reply]

WestJet promotes user friendly on-line services, but this has proven to be untrue. There is no phone line or agents to answer direct phone calls, and they do not have a contact email leaving customers blowing in the wind. Extreme lack of service. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.247.247.223 (talk) 19:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
