CALGARY — In anticipation of travel’s return, WestJet has launched a new seven-part video series that highlights how travel will be different and what guests can do to prepare for their journey.

Now up and running on WestJet’s website, the ‘Travel Ready’ series covers the entire travel experience and includes the following topics: Preparing at home; Entry requirements; COVID-19 travel insurance; At the airport; In the air; and WestJet Vacations. Each video stars various WestJet employees sharing useful tips and practices and is approximately one-minute long. 

“Some guests will be ready and waiting to get on a flight, yet we understand that others may still be hesitant and haven’t been on an airplane in more than 16 months,” said Dr. Tammy McKnight, WestJet Chief Medical Officer. “Since the onset of the pandemic, WestJet has been implementing science-based safety measures to ensure the safety of both our guests and our WestJetters and this effort will not waiver as Canadians make their way back to travel. Who better to demonstrate this commitment than the WestJetters who have been living these safety measures day in and day out for more than a year?”

Billy Nolen, WestJet Vice-President Safety, Security and Quality, added that WestJet is ready to welcome back guests and is looking forward to reconnecting family and friends.

“The care WestJetters show our guests each day plays a large role in making feel comfortable and safe,” he said. “That is why it was so important for us to have WestJetters share our safety message, particularly since they have been diligently working to keep our operation safe throughout the pandemic.”
