Canadians who book with WestJet will soon need to pay an extra fee on certain flights starting next week.
The Calgary-based airline stated in an email to customers Friday morning that, in response to rising jet fuel prices, WestJet will be bringing in a temporary fuel surcharge on all bookings made with a companion voucher.
As of Wednesday, April 8, 2026, this surcharge will be reflected in the Other ATC portion of your booking. All companion voucher bookings completed before April 8, 2026, will not be affected.
The temporary fuel surcharge will be $60 on all bookings made with a companion voucher, according to WestJet.
The airline stated that fuel is the largest contributor to airline operating costs, and the temporary surcharge will help WestJet manage the recent surge in fuel prices.
