The flight was full and good as could be expected. We arrived early which is always a good thing.
When flying premium on a two our flight a light lunch would have been nice considering the price you pay. A Kit Kat bar and bag of chips is rather cheap service.
What do you expect from a Dash 8 plane? No seats really comfortable.
We got delayed to the point of having a 20 hour layover. That is absurd. I couldn’t believe it. I’m furious.
everything was fine expect massive delays - not the airline’s fault
The checked luggage still hasn't arrived yet. 42 h later. We saw it being unloaded in the stopover location. It was. 5 hour layover so it wasn't a rushed transfer. One positive aspect, it was close to being on time and the crew that came on the clean the plane was very efficient.
The small prop plane was crowded and the overhead luggage storage is a smaller than on the jets. Other than that, the crew was good, the flight was on time and the landing was smooth.
Don't fly westjet if you help it. Incredibly bad system/app, does not work. I have to fight westjet now for money back on goods I didn't receive and hotels because of delays. Extremely stressful flying westjet. For the cost of the plane tickets I felt utterly robbed. I also feel bad for the under paid staff at the westjet help desk who have to deal with so many ripped off and angry customers. Companies should not be allowed to operate like this! I don't know how they get away with it?
Really impressed. Organised boarding arrangements, nice new plane with decent seats. Professional yet humorous cabin crew. Nice meal and snack service, all really impressive.
Wish there was an option to book a fellow traveler who is not necessarily paying on the same booking. Then the airline could consider placing us together. It was a long flight to be separated from travel buddy. The first meal, a luncheon I think was ok with warmish pasta and a tiny salad. The second meal, a midnight snack (hard to say because of the time change) was really awful pizza fold-ups, and no option for folks who cannot eat cheese.
Crew attitude and attentiveness. Comfort of the seats. Entertainment options.
I was rescheduled when I missed my flight due to border clearance issue
Delays. Poor support booking a hotel after a diverted flight.
W ended up getting stuck in Edinburgh Scotland during the air strike. They cancelled our flight and No help to get us rebooked. All said down that cost us over $2,000 extra at least to get home. Hopefully we will be reimbursed somehow! Won’t be flying Air Canada again
Because of a change in aircraft, I was unable to experience the business class I paid for and was disappointed.
Very clean plane, staff were courteous, complimentary wifi and beverages are nice, and it was nice to have a whole row to myself! I do miss having seatback entertainment, though. And the prices are getting ridiculous, especially with the different teared tickets. But the flight overall was great.
Nuts would be better than pretzels as the non sweet snack
Food is terrible....... need better snacks, too. Crew was lukewarm.
Crew was amazing. The seats give me a sore neck for days upon arrival to my destination. Perhaps Business Class seats are designed differently. I’m 5’4”, the neck portion of the seat may hit me strangely for my height range.
Air Canada changed the flight times of my flights several times in the months leading up to my travel date, making my layover and departure times way worse than the original tickets I purchased. Then on the actual travel days 3 out of my 4 flights were significantly delayed. When I asked customer service to try and find me a better connecting flight, they quoted the contract at me that states my ticket gets me there but doesn't require adherance to the original times, and they were unwilling to try and help. I also asked them to waive my baggage fee, which according to their online calculator qouted me a free checked bag, but then at check in I had to pay to check a bag both ways. All in all the expeience felt like Air Canada was scrambling to provide flights and then unwilling to try and easy the sting of the significant inconvenience it created.
