Lukacs pointed to WestJet's own document, which states "all fares and charges are stated in the currency from which the passenger will initiate travel.
But her trip was originating from the U.S. It is based on the ticket leg, not where it was purchased.
No, the contention Lukacs makes is that on a round-trip ticket this passenger's travel initiated/originated in Canada.

Interesting as that seems to be what the passenger in this article expected but didn't receive.
