Great news for those of you using this to fly to Iceland or Europe
because of their lower fares and free stopovers! The flight will also be

WestJet is offering more convenience to its members
that check-in online. On May 1, WestJet Rewards members could draw the
following right from their Rewards profile to expedite upgrade payment,
TSA-pre or international flight passport pre-population. When
checking-in, members will be asked to sign-in if they choose to
automatically add Passport, Known traveler number (NEXUS), Email
address and Credit card information to their check-in details. When a
member uses online check-in and is signed into their profile, self-serve
check-in will pre-populate relevant information for the check-in, making
finding bookings, adding travel documents (when required) and payments
(Plus seats, bags, etc.) much faster.

Just what everyone loves to hear, the head of AIR MILES
made over $3 million last year. Granted he covers more than just AIR
MILES but many collectors aren’t happy about it regardless after what
happened in 2016. (Source CBC)
