Web education sessions still available!
"The trainings offered by the Owner Liaisons are certainly something all new owners should be set up for [...] It feels good to know that I have an advocate. After my training today, I'm sure I will be able to find more times and locations that will work for my family in the future when I am planning our vacations."
-- Shannon V.
We are continuing our popular web education sessions, or "Webinars", which cover the same information as in-person sessions, but are accessible from the comfort of your own home. Along with Airfare & Accommodation and Owner Education Webinars, we're now offering sessions focused on Points Platinum Education and Tips & Tricks Education.
It's easy to take part in these sessions and they will give you valuable tips on how to get the best use out of the points ownership you have with Aviawest. Take a look at our schedule of upcoming sessions. Please note, all times are PST.
