Get On Board with WestJet Agent Direct

WestJet has announced that its travel agent booking platform, WestJet Agent Direct, is now available for new users to register and start booking.

Designed exclusively for travel agents, WestJet Agent Direct provides another option for booking WestJet in an easy-to-use platform.

Initially available earlier this year for existing users of the airline’s previous tool, WestJet Agent, the booking channel includes enhanced features to better support travel agencies including the ability to self-serve changes or cancellations.

Amanda Ierfino, Director of Sales at WestJet, said that: “We’re excited to be able to offer the WestJet Agent Direct booking platform to all our travel trade partners ahead of the new year.”

Ierfino continued: “We know our partners have been eagerly awaiting a replacement for our previous booking channel, and we sincerely appreciate their patience and understanding as we worked to deliver a tool that meets their needs. We look forward to welcoming new users to WestJet Agent Direct.”

To celebrate WestJet Agent Direct and thank partners for their support, WestJet has launched the Get on Board with WestJet Agent Direct contest, open to both new and current users of the booking platform.

Running through to Feb. 3, 2025, the contest offers travel agents 10 chances to win WestJet gift cards, Extended Comfort vouchers and prize packs. Unlimited bonus entries are available for bookings made on the platform.
