By The Points Guy on Dec 03, 2018 07:00 am

WestJet Does It Again With This Year’s Heartwarming ‘Christmas Miracle’ Videos

By JT Genter on Dec 02, 2018 06:30 pm
Here in the US, Canadian low-cost carrier WestJet may actually be better known for its heartwarming Christmas videos than its low fares. With a new idea and video every year since 2012, WestJet’s “Christmas Miracle” videos have become a tradition of their own. Fittingly, 2018’s theme is “uniting through traditions.” And, based on this “preview,” ...
