It’s app-bout time as WestJet states it and US Airways award tickets on BA without surcharges is dying quickly!
News, Tips & Tricks
WestJet finally released an app for the iPhone yesterday! Here is an excerpt from WestJet’s press release
Now guests can book new flights, add existing reservations, check in
for upcoming flights and get flight status information while also
enjoying extras like seamless Passbook integration, exclusively
available for iPhone users. Subscribers can also keep a list of all the
great places they’ve visited under past trips and view a real-time
countdown for the next getaway. The WestJet app for iPhone is designed
to provide guests with a personalized travel experience in an
easy-to-navigate format.
I downloaded the app at the time of writing this and in its current
version it seems pretty decent for having it for electronic boarding
passes, keeping track of trip information and even booking flights. The
one thing missing however is access to your WestJet Rewards account
which I’m sure many of our readers would like! Hopefully one of our
readers who works at WestJet can comment as to whether this be a future
integration into the app.
Last week news spread like wild fire that you could use US Airways
Dividend Miles to book tickets on British Airways without fuel
surcharges but it looks like that will change very soon as US Airways
has sent a memo to their agents about the charges. So if yo book an
award ticket online you might avoid charges but if you call in chances
are you’ll have to pay them. The online booking engine will likely do so
soon however. (Source One Mile at a time)
