Thanks for the quick response. Not trusting WestJet at the moment.
Rant ahead.
They wouldn't let me check in online this morning had to call. Called eventually found a person. I had looked at the price of seat selection two months ago when they changed the flight itinerary. Decided against it as they were tooooo expensive. Next day when I check the booking again, I had assigned seats. I didn't ask for them. I backed out of the seat selection page. WestJet tells me that sometimes the system just assigns them when you do this.... They reversed the selection and the charges. Checked in online when I got off the phone and I got the same two seats they were going to charge me for (the flight is full).
No seats assigned for my return flights. That's ok. Can I purchase assigned seats for just one flight or do I have to do both of my return segments. I might consider paying for LA - Calgary. I don't care where we sit on Calgary - Ottawa or if we sit together.
