West Air (China) FAQs

Find quick answers to the most common questions about flying with West Air (China).

Can I skip the first sector of a West Air connecting ticket and board at an intermediate airport?

Unless West Air provides otherwise, all sectors must be used in the ticketed sequence from the origin. The airline may refuse carriage on a ticket used out of order. Contact the ticket issuer before skipping or changing a sector rather than simply presenting yourself at the intermediate airport.

How much connection time should I allow for a West Air domestic connecting ticket?

Unless the specific product states otherwise, allow at least two hours at the transfer point for a domestic connecting ticket. Separately purchased tickets form separate transport contracts; having consecutive flight times alone does not establish protected connecting travel.

How many children under five may one adult accompany on West Air, including an infant?

An adult aged at least 18 with full legal capacity may accompany up to three children aged two to under five. With an infant, the limit is two children in that age range plus one infant. Each adult may accompany only one infant. Accompanied children and infants must share the adult service class and, for products with restricted seating zones, the same zone.

Can a child aged five to under twelve travel alone on West Air just by buying a ticket?

An ordinary ticket alone is insufficient. An unaccompanied child aged five to under twelve needs prior West Air approval and a booking made under its applicable transport rules. Children under five must travel with an adult aged at least 18 who has full legal capacity.

Does West Air guarantee that a refund reaches my bank account within seven working days?

No. West Air or its authorised sales agent must complete refund procedures within seven working days after receiving a valid application. Financial-institution processing time and time when the application is incomplete or noncompliant are excluded. This is not a guarantee of bank receipt within seven working days.

Where does West Air send a refund, and may a family member handle the request?

West Air prioritises the original payment account; if that is impossible for a special reason, it refunds the passenger. A representative needs the passenger and representative valid identification, the passenger authorisation and other required documents. Refunds normally use the original payment method and currency rather than an arbitrary third-party account.

If I voluntarily change West Air travel to a cheaper fare, will the difference simply be refunded?

The conditions require a voluntary refund of the original ticket followed by a new purchase when moving to a lower fare or lower service class. Moving to a higher fare or class requires the fare difference and applicable change fee. It is not simply an automatic refund or collection of the difference.

If one West Air flight changes on separately purchased tickets, is the other normal flight also automatically refundable or changeable free?

No. Separate non-connecting tickets are separate contracts. The disrupted West Air ticket follows involuntary handling rules, while other normal flights follow their own carrier conditions and fare rules, with resulting charges borne by the passenger. Separate ordinary tickets should not be treated as one through-ticket.

Can family members pool free checked-baggage allowances on West Air?

Two or more companions may combine their fare-based free baggage allowances when taking the same aircraft to the same destination or stopover and checking bags at the same place and time. Pooling does not create extra entitlement or remove individual bag limits. Confirm each ticket allowance under the purchased product.

Can I wait until the West Air boarding gate to check oversized cabin baggage?

Do not rely on that option. West Air prohibits ordinary baggage check-in at the gate, with exceptions for strollers and assistive equipment for special passengers. If noncompliant cabin baggage is discovered there, it may not travel on the same flight. Arrange it during check-in beforehand.
