I originally posted this in the Air Canada forum but they didn't like it there and moved in here. I wanted to know what if the AC supporters thought AC would follow.
WestJet hasn't dropped the bag fee. They've added the bag fee for all non-Canadian/US destinations when booking a flight. The table shows that if you booked after Nov. 3rd and fly after Jan. 5th you get a free bag only when booking a package through WestJet Vacations. Prior to that (as shown in the first table) a free bag was for anyone going outside Canada and the US.

Did your friends book through WestJet Vacations?
Air Canada also offers the free bag when booking a package through AC Vacations.
