Huge Pet fee hike on Westjet
Posted by Linda Mandala on January 11, 2019, 8:18 pm
I just talked with Westjet about their increase in pet fees....GULP!!! Now it will cost $100 - $118 for a pet in the cabin and $200 - $236 for a cage in cargo...that is double for the in cabin charge and more than double for the cargo. There has been a petition...which I have not seen but would definitely like to sign...apparently has over 75,000 signatures that went to Westjet to protest the huge hike....but I am not holding my breath. This will make it difficult for those of us who travel with more than one pet...after paying the huge Canadian Vet fees for all the medicines and papers we need administered to get the dogs into Mexico (I paid $350) just for the vet stuff last year not including the cost for the airplane. Maybe it is time to start driving down again???That is not something I really want to do.....Sad Linda Mandala | -----------------Re: Huge Pet fee hike on Westjet

That is why a bunch of companies are popping up, offering the service of transporting dogs by land. On our way south this last fall, we stopped in a rest area and I saw a van with a bunch of kennels and dogs. They start puling them out for walks and I went to talk with them. They explain me exactly that, that the fees for flying with dogs are so much higher right now, so they offer to transport the dogs by land. I don't know if there is any company offering the service from Canada to Mexico, but maybe it is something to research... | -----------------Re: Huge Pet fee hike on Westjet

Price hikes of 120-300% are totally unacceptable— is there an online petition available❓ | ----------------- |
