I believe this is current:
Travelling with an infant - One child under the age of two years may travel at no additional charge provided they are accompanied by one fare paying adult guest and are seated on the adult's lap for the duration of the flight.
- Safety: The adult must hold the infant during taxi, takeoff, landing, any time the seatbelt sign is illuminated and when instructed to do so by the flight crew.
- Car seats: A seat may be purchased for the infant. If the infant is not restrained in a seat certified for motor vehicle or aircraft use, the adult must hold the infant during taxi, takeoff, landing, any time the seatbelt sign is illuminated and when instructed to do so by the flight crew. Please call WestJet at 1-888-WESTJET (937-8538) for more information on Transport Canada approved car seats.
- August 25, 2008, the AmSafe Child Restraint System (CARES), a harness and buckle device that attaches directly to the aircraft seat will be permitted for use on board WestJet aircraft as an alternative to a car seat. Please call WestJet at 1-888-WESTJET (937-8538) for more information on this Transport Canada approved restraint system.
- Identification: All parties require identification at the airport. Please bring identification for your infant, as it will be checked. For domestic travel, it can be in the form of a birth certificate or birth registry. Photocopies are acceptable. For international travel, your infant must meet entrance requirements at customs.
- Extra baggage allowance: Guests travelling with infants may check in a car seat and stroller at no additional charge. A playpen may be substituted for either a car seat or stroller.
- Seat Selection: When travelling with an infant, seat selection will not be available for online purchase. Please contact the call centre at 1-888-937-8538 to purchase your seats in advance.
For sports equipment like skis or golf clubs, the only fee is $20. No oversize fees apply unless something is clearly excessive. 'Skis' refer to the skis, poles, and boots. That one sucks for me as I loved flying out to Kelowna last year to ski...
