WestJet's new flow-through check-in counters at Edmonton International Airport opened Nov. 1.

With flow-through check-in, guests keep their baggage with them after it is tagged and then they place it on a belt themselves. Guests move forward through the check-in counters then straight through to the baggage belt, creating less congestion than the traditional counter set-up.

WestJet has significantly ramped up its services at EIA over the past several years. This spring, EIA surpassed Vancouver International Airport as the airline’s third largest domestic hub.
