AGENT APPRECIATION

WestJet Virtual Showcase Opens with 20% Off Travel Agent Appreciation Offer

Tuesday’s WestJet and WestJet Vacations Virtual Showcase started with a bang. Advisor participants were greeted with news of an attention-grabbing offer - just for the trade who attend the Showcase.

For a limited time, with its Travel Agent Appreciation Offer exclusive to the trade, WestJet is providing advisors the opportunity to book clients at 20 per cent off anywhere the airline flies, although code share flights are not included in the offer.

Clients must be booked this week - by 01OCT 2021 for travel from 17OCT to 30APR 2022, with blackout dates between 16DEC and 04JAN.

The offer applies to all classes of service including Basic, Econo, Premium and Business, with flexible change policies applying through 31DEC 2021.

Advisors can get more details on the Virtual Showcase site.

The showcase runs 11:00 am - 1:00 pm MT and 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm ET.

In addition to more information about the Travel Agent Appreciation Offer, participants have access to news about WestJet, WestJet Vacations, as well as hotel and tourist board partners.

With a background in broadcast news and travel lifestyles TV production, Lynn is just as comfortable behind or in front of the camera as she is slinging words into compelling stories at her laptop. Having been called a multi-media ‘content charmer’, Lynn’s other claim to fame is the ability to work 24/7, forgoing sleep until the job is done. Documented proof exists in a picture of Lynn at the closing celebrations of an intense week, standing, champagne in hand - sound asleep. That’s our kind of gal.
