Airline is first to provide new service without need for cabin upgrades

CALGARY, April 1 /CNW/ - WestJet (TSX:WJA) today announced that on
April 1, 2008, sleeper cabins will be introduced onboard its existing fleet of
73 Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft. These sleeper cabins can be booked on
all of WestJet's existing flights for a nominal incremental fee of $12.
"WestJet now offers scheduled service to 47 destinations, continuing on
our strategy to be Canada's favourite airline," commented Bob Cummings,
Executive Vice-President Guest Experience and Marketing. "Our leather seats
and live satellite television are a great part of WestJet's guest experience
however, by offering our existing overhead bins as sleeper cabins, guests will
now have the opportunity to lie down for a period of time and arrive at their
destination refreshed, rested and ready to go.
"The overhead compartment has traditionally been a place where guests
have placed their carry-on baggage. Given that the overhead bins on our fleet
are among the most spacious of any airline, we made the decision to offer
sleeper cabins in that space."
To verify sleeper cabin availability on a WestJet flight, guests are
encouraged to call WestJet at 1-866-935-2702 (English) or 1-866-935-2703
(French).
