CALGARY, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WestJet today announced the introduction of a new pillow and blanket kit which, for a small fee, will provide guests with another option to enrich their travel experience. Starting December 1, 2008, pillow and blanket kits - complete with a travel pillow, fleece blanket and convenient carry bag - will be available for purchase on all WestJet flights.
"Our latest addition to the buy-on-board (BOB) product lineup will be a great comfort to many of our guests," said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President of Guest Experience and Marketing. "We believe the pillow and blanket combination will be particularly popular with guests travelling on our medium and long haul flights who want to relax and catch up on some rest."
The ability to purchase a pillow and blanket kit will offer guests the peace of mind that comes from knowing that both the pillow and blanket are brand new, allergen-free, breathable and washable, and can be used over and over again.
"We're thrilled that WestJet guests can now enjoy the same clean, allergy-free comfort experience we've been providing households throughout North America since 2006," said Mike Linn, CEO of CleanBrands. "As a partner with WestJet, we have the opportunity to offer guests our high-quality products at a very low cost, demonstrating the commitment to the customer for which both our organizations are renowned."
The new blanket and pillow kit will cost $7 in flight. The kit also includes a $5 coupon that can be used towards the purchase of a CleanBrands product through their online website. Reusable blankets will still be available on all WestJet flights for guests to use at no charge.
WestJet continues to offer high-value, all-inclusive fares providing guests the opportunity to book their travel through the WestJet Sales Super Centre, check two pieces of luggage, watch live seatback television and enjoy snacks and non-alcoholic beverages - all at no extra charge. WestJet goes one step further - guaranteeing not to overbook flights.
