It's been awhile as you can see since I've flown WS, wasted 15 min of my life with DL chat agent yest. She couldn't even give me the PNR if you can believe it, says it didn't load. When I called the DL reservation line the guy had no issues. Wonder why there is such a difference between the two services.
Thanks for the tip on the one shot. That's a surprise to me too. When did Westjet take that feature away? Seems so petty.
So let's say I don't pre select/buy seats in advance, what happens on a non basic econ ticket at T - 24?
- WS assigns as a seat at checkin as usual.
- I'm allowed to change it for free once since it's a DL award ticket, and then no more changes after that without a fee?
- and what about if I prebuy a seat T+24 in advance does the same restriction apply with one shot only too?
- for multi segment connecting flights are you still able to select seats for all legs of the PNR at T-24 of the first flight even though the onward connections are more than, say, 30hrs away at time of check in?
They didn't change all that while I was away I hope.
And lastly is the boarding order still the same as historically on the WS 737s?
