WestJet Elevation Lounge

Lounge access as a status benefit

WestJet presents lounge access as something that arrives with Rewards status [5] [6]. The Platinum tier's benefits open with the promise of "unlimited lounge access" [6], and list lounge access again in the summary of travel benefits next to faster lines and priority boarding [6].

Platinum status, and with it the lounge benefit, unlocks at $10,000 in tier qualifying spend; the benefits then run for the rest of the current year and the whole of the following year [6]. WestJet says the perks can be used every time a member travels on an itinerary sold and operated by WestJet, as long as the WestJet Rewards ID has been added to the booking [6].

Silver is the lower tier that mentions lounges. Its page says Silver status brings "additional benefits like lounge access, free checked bags, priority boarding and more", and sets the threshold at $4,000 in tier qualifying spend, with the same availability window of the remainder of the current year plus the year after, and the same condition that the itinerary be sold and operated by WestJet [5]. The Silver page does not say which lounge the benefit refers to, how often it can be used, or whether a Silver member may bring a guest [5].

The entry-level Teal page describes points earning, a discount on first checked bag fees and onboard Wi-Fi, and does not include lounge access among its benefits [4].

Guest rules for lounge vouchers

WestJet's published guest mechanism is a voucher, described on the Platinum page as treating a guest to lounge access on their next trip; the page points readers to a separate Airport Lounges page for the list of participating lounges [6]. Two routes are given. If the member and guest are travelling on the same itinerary, the voucher can be used and the two must enter the lounge together; if the guest is travelling alone, the voucher must be transferred directly to the guest's WestJet Rewards account [6].

Guest vouchers, including their expiry date details, are visible when the member signs in to the account on westjet.com [6]. A transfer is made from the "My Vouchers" section of the account or the WestJet app by entering the guest's WestJet Rewards ID [6]. The Platinum page does not state how many lounge vouchers a member receives or how long they remain valid, so no number is given here [6].

Exceptions and what is not published

• Participating lounge list.
• Silver guest access.
• Partner lounges. Platinum members flying Delta Air Lines are offered access to the Delta Sky Club as a partner benefit, alongside preferred seating and three checked bags [6]. That is partner lounge access and falls outside this single-lounge profile. The Delta benefits listed for Silver — preferred seating, two checked bags and priority services at check-in and boarding — do not mention a lounge [5].
• Scope of the tier conditions.
