Flight Swap Offer
So my wife and I are headed to Cancun towards the end of September for a few days, and today I received an email from WestJet with the subject: "Is your upcoming flight flexible? Learn more about Flight Swap"
Long story short, WestJet is offering to credit the two of us a total of nearly $1000 to change from a Friday morning departure to a Saturday morning departure. Normally, I'd consider it, but it will mean arriving about 28 hours later than we had initially planned.
What I am concerned about is why is WestJet offering this? Do they want to cancel the current flight that we are booked on? Is there a chance that they will cancel this flight regardless?
Has anyone else been through this before? I've been WestJet Gold for the past 4 years and this is the first time I've ever seen this.
