Good to know
Flying with WestJet Encore — what to expect
WestJet Encore operates a low-cost model, which means headline fares are typically unbundled: seat selection, checked baggage and on-board food are usually sold as paid extras rather than included in the base ticket. When comparing WestJet Encore against full-service alternatives, weigh the total price after extras — not just the headline fare — and check cabin-baggage size limits before you fly, as budget carriers tend to enforce them strictly at the gate.

3 common questions
- Originfacts compares live WestJet Encore fares alongside hundreds of other airlines and online travel agencies through our search partner Travelpayouts, then surfaces the lowest total price for each itinerary. You complete the booking directly with the airline or agency at the same price — Originfacts never adds a fee.
- As a rule of thumb, WestJet Encore fares on short-haul routes are cheapest 1–3 months before departure, and 2–6 months ahead for long-haul. Tuesday and Wednesday departures tend to be cheaper than Friday and Sunday, and flying outside school holidays makes the biggest difference of all. Fares are dynamic, so when you see a good price, lock it in.
- Carry-on limits on WestJet Encore depend on the fare type and aircraft, and the airline publishes its current size and weight allowance on its official website. As a low-cost carrier, WestJet Encore tends to enforce cabin-bag rules strictly at the gate, and larger bags usually cost extra. Measure your bag before you fly — paying for luggage at the gate is almost always the most expensive option.
