Smart Bags
Smart Bags contain lithium ion battery power banks, which pose a fire risk when they are placed in the cargo hold of the aircraft. The battery(s) must be removed from the Smart Bag in the event it is required to go as checked baggage. If the battery(s) are unable to be removed the Smart Bag will not be allowed.
WestJet appreciates the cooperation of all guests with regard to this issue.
