Waited at airport from 10 am till 4 pm and no flight due to fog. Ugh.

As someone who never flies WestJet unless there is no other viable option I have to give this crew credit where credit is due. Extremely well done everyone.

Everything was great until we had to get our bags. The bags came out in several different batches over 90 minutes after we landed maybe more we got our bags. So much for the old West Jet where they promised bags in 20 minutes. I Next time I will pack lighter and go with a carry-on.

Flight left on time. The crew was very friendly. I had to buy a proper meal. Small cookie and a drink just doesn’t cut it for a 4.5 hours flight.

The flight was full and good as could be expected. We arrived early which is always a good thing.

Experience was good, the wifi hook up is somewhat tough

Plane was one hour late. Hardly any space for our carry-ons. Stressful to catch connections.

The delays were never ending and we were never properly informed as to why. 1st and 2nd delay were handled well, but by the time we received our 7th delay, and then subsequently asked to willingly get bumped, it turned into one of the worst flying situations of my life. I didn’t get home until 2am which is roughly 5 hours later than originally planned.

Great flight, great landing, nice staff. Our seats were a little cramped.

I will not be flying with westjet again. I was uncomfortable in my seat. The position made my back hurt so bad. My wife was able to fit the seatbelt around her with out an extension but was unable to put the tray table down or fit in the seat for that matter. Our bag was smashed and I spent two hours trying to fill out the application for a damaged bag before I gave up. The 80 photos I took would not work and nothing telling me the format to upload them as.. I made the mistake of unpacking the bag before taking photos so no claim for me. Next trip to Canada I will have to use air Canada.

Delayed on tarmac and missed next Air Canada flight by few minutes. Theh should have waited for me.

This is a great non-stop YVR-MIA. Very comfortable plane, and no transfer through a city that gets major winter weather!

The on-board entertainment system was horrible - we gave up watching because it just kept glitching.

Had to cancel the flight because there was a 14 hour layover before the flight. Unacceptable.

Again, we were rerouted all the way to Zurich and had a longer journey than expected.

I wish Air Canada would provide a meal on the 5 hrs or more time flight to the passengers.

Terrible…. Reported missing luggage’s with injectable meds that needed refrigeration. Yet, delivery could not be expedited. Luggage’s were delivered 5 days after arrival. The meds were useless as ice pack had melted. So disappointed!!!

Terrible… Luggage’s missing for 5-days. Not expedited despite notifying them that insulin and ozempic were in bags and required refrigeration. I’m extremely disappointed. Meds were useless upon delivery as ice pack had dissolved and meds were warm and not useable because their efficacy and potency are now questionable . I’m so disappointed and expecting a full refund for the checked in bags.

Terrible, luggage’s with b/p and diabetes meds including insulin and ozempic. I’ve in them had dissolved and rendered useless

Very bed experience never want to travel air canada anymore
