CALGARY — Agents booking WestJet fares for their clients can now pre-purchase seats using a new self-serve option on WestJet’s website.

If a travel agent books WestJet for their client using the GDS and does not add seats at the time of booking, they can now search for their client’s reservation on westjet.com and pre-purchase seats.

Travel agents can also direct their clients to WestJet’s website, where they will be able to select their seats using the same process.

“We understand how busy travel agents are, so we’re always looking for ways to enhance our services and make it as easy to do business with us as we can,” said Lyell Farquharson, WestJet’s Vice-President, Sales. “This new self-serve feature offers even more convenience and flexibility to both our travel partners and our guests.”

More details about the new seat selection process are available on WestJet’s travel agent resource site.
