WESTJET BAGGAGE FEE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT CLAIM FORM
Deadline to Submit Claim Form: FEBRUARY 10, 2025
Class Members must submit a claim in accordance with the court-approved protocol to be eligible to receive a pro rata share of the settlement to be deposited to their WestJet Travel Bank accounts.
Class Members that paid the fee for their first checked bag multiple times during the class period may only submit a claim for their first three checked bags.
The settlement provides that each approved claim will not exceed $45CAD for Class Members on or after July 6, 2017, and $18CAD for Class Members before July 5, 2017. These are maximum figures, and not
the pro rata amount that each member would receive. The pro rata amount depends on the number of valid claims.
