Find the best WestJet credit cards

The WestJet Rewards program is one of the most valuable airline programs in Canada. You can earn points for flights by entering your WestJet ID every time you book a flight. RBC also offers two WestJet MasterCards that allow cardholders to earn WestJet Dollars on everyday purchases. Every WestJet dollar is treated as one Canadian dollar and can be used to book flights and vacation packages with WestJet. There are no redemption tiers or region categories. However, WestJet dollars cannot be used for taxes or other fees. 

WestJet dollars are redeemable for: 

• Flights (on any airline)
• Vacation packages

Changes to WestJet’s baggage restrictions

As of March 2025, WestJet has modified its carry-on size limits, losing one inch of height and gaining one inch of width:

• Previous carry-on size limit: 21" x 15" x 9" (approximately 53 x 38 x 23 cm)
• New carry-on size limit: 22" x 14" x 9" (approximately 56 x 36 x 23 cm)

These size limits are more in line with North American carriers, including its partner carrier, Delta Air Lines. However, they are different from other Canadian carriers such as Air Canada, Porter, and Flair.

WestJet’s new check-in sizing limits will be rolled out by March 13 at airports, but both old and new sizes will be accepted until May 6, 2025.
