WestJet Introduces Paid Seat Reclining in Economy

WestJet has begun charging passengers for the ability to recline their seats in the Economy cabin. This change affects select WestJet aircraft.

The airline is implementing this new policy on some of its Boeing 737 aircraft. Passengers who wish to recline their seats will now need to purchase this amenity.
