Send your mother-in-law packing

WestJet will even bring her back

CALGARY, May 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Mother's Day is just around the corner and mother-loving WestJet is ready to celebrate. Since distance makes the heart grow fonder, WestJet wants to help "send your mother-in-law packing" with a Mother's Day contest. The greater the distance, the fonder you will be.

Enter between May 5-12, 2014,* for a chance to win two round-trip flights to anywhere WestJet flies good for travel until May 15, 2015, (as promised, WestJet will bring her back). A random draw will be conducted on May 19, 2014, at 10 a.m. MDT, from all eligible entries received over the contest period.

"As much as I love my mother-in-law, I would relish the opportunity to send her packing," said Richard Bartrem, WestJet Vice-President, Communications and Community Relations. "She loves to travel and I know she will be treated to a great guest experience when she flies with WestJet. None of our guests would be here without a mother, so thank one of those mothers today by sending them packing - I suppose it is up to them if they come back."

Find out more about WestJet's "Send your mother-in-law packing" contest by following WestJet on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. To enter, fill out the contest form. With any luck, Momma might bring along someone to carry the old bag.
