WestJet sent me a message with my booking reference number after I repeatedly requested it at the airport. I ended up taking a taxi because I was really afraid of getting arrested.” In a later update, she confirmed her safe arrival home.

I just got kicked out of a @WestJet I flew from Mexico because I had an upset stomach and went to the bathroom a lot before takeoff. There is no promise of a hotel or flight reservation change. She had medication and was getting better. Some customer service. If you are sick before a flight, wait…
