My husband and I just travelled WestJet for our vacation back east to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia to visit family and we took our dog with us.
This was our first time ever flying with our dog and as you can imagine I was a mess with worry about her. I gave her anti anxiety medication from the vet to keep her calm (it was not a sedative) and with the reassurance from the check in agent at oversized I felt a little better saying see ya later to her before we headed to our gate.
Once on the plane before they close the door the flight attendant brings you a tag that was attached to the crate to confirm that my dog was onboard. Relief when you get that tag.
I have to say I'm very impressed with WestJet and how well they handled our check in with our dog and how well they handled our beloved family member. We had three flights with WestJet on this trip and all three where smooth and non eventful. When we arrived at our destinations our dog, Penny, was always the first unloaded even before the luggage arrived. I'm happy to say she travelled well and enjoyed her vacation as much if not more than we did!!
I highly recommend WestJet if you plan on travelling with your pet and they have to ride cargo. We had a great trip and will be travelling WestJet from now on with our dog.
I hope this review helps anyone who may be planning to travel with their pet cause I know I looked everywhere to try to get more information.
