In a bold move that has thrilled masochists and budget travelers alike, WestJet proudly introduces its latest innovation in air travel discomfort: UltraBasic. This revolutionary fare option strips away the frills of flying so effectively that you’ll wonder if you’re actually a piece of luggage. With UltraBasic, you get to enjoy the cozy confines of a pre-assigned seat at the back of the plane, with the luxury of storing one personal item under your seat. Want to bring a carry-on? That’s cute, but no. Board last and savor the glares of every other passenger who boarded before you, comfortably nestled in their seats. This fare is perfect for those who have always dreamed of an air travel experience reminiscent of a crowded bus ride. Come fly the frugal skies with UltraBasic — because why treat yourself when you can just transport yourself?

For guests seeking the convenience of bundled offerings, WestJet’s other fare offerings, including Econo, EconoFlex, Premium, PremiumFlex, Business and BusinessFlex, will continue to be available.
