My boarding pass birthdate was printed incorrectly causing me to spend an extra hour in a check-in and then again TSA line and to miss a chance to have dinner pre-flight. My window seat was given away and was replaced with a middle seat. I would have liked an opportunity to charge my phone and take advantage of movies but many of the departure gate chargers weren’t operational and I don’t know of an in-flight charging option, The flight left 45 late after trouble with unruly passengers, and I was glad staff removed them.

Horrible. I likely will have to spend several thousand dollars to rebook my international flights, due to their delays, plus a hotel in SF. I can’t wait to never fly them again!
Quick easy boarding. Airport was unprepared for early landing and we were waiting in the plane for 20 minutes before getting a gate.
It was so easy to board using my boarding pass on my iPhone, and I liked what I was given on the plane for food and drink, and everyone was very friendly.
We had an hour delay Probably couldn’t be haloed Very friendly staff
dont re-route to San Jose. Re-route to closer airport. Provide shuttle bus to go to SFO, not just LYFT vouchers.
Staff seemed genuinely nice, not just going through the motions.
I would have rated the entire experience much better were it not for two things: 1. There was inconsistency between what we were told once on the plane vs. the answer I received to the question about "spreading out" from our assigned seats because the flight was sparsely populated, and the entire row we were in was empty but for us. I asked about one of us moving over one seat to make more room for us; before getting on the plane, I was told we could, which seemed like a sensible answer. Once on the plane, it was announced that we needed to stay in our assigned seats despite all of the empty space in our row, which seemed unneccessarily restrictive. 2. To add to the discomfort, we sat on the tarmac once the plane landed in Burbank for over half an hour waiting for a gate to become available. During that time we had to remain seated and buckled in, which was becoming more difficult as time dragged on, especially for my wife. If all of this was due to regulations, that may mitigate the sense of "needless" restriction somewhat, but it points to a need to make regulations less restrictive where it is not appropriate for the current conditions. The crew was not "nasty" about the restrictions, so I do not resent their actions, but it certainly would have been a much more pleasant flight if we had a few more options when it comes to comfort.
The seat side plug ins didn’t work in my row, and I ran out of things to do since my iPad and iPhone ran out of juice. The flight attendant offered me a free drink but I don’t drink. I suggested a free snack box instead and she just shrugged and walked off. Why do us non-drinkers get the short end of the stick?
Flight left two hours late with no real explanation and they inexplicably had the heat running on the flight as well
All as expected. Flight on time and journey was uneventful
The on time performance and the ease of boarding are great. The crew were cordial. During landing the pilot made a hard landing with some swerve that was a bit rough but other than that everything else is as smooth as it can be.
1.5 hours late departing YVR for a 14-minute flight. Packed waiting area. Full plane. Families with tired, screaming kids. 40-minute wait for baggage at YYJ. For a Dash-8. Obviously there was some kind of breakdown but there was no communication from anyone. Most of this was not WestJet's fault but it was an unpleasant night overall. I fell asleep in a chair waiting for the luggage carousel to start.
Horrible, flight on the way to Vegas was delayed significantly and then on my way back my second flight was cancelled
Difficult to say. Over crowded but that is the fault of the airplane not WestJet
If they have a tv for movie or map during 5h flight could be better and the food can purchase on flight are ok with that.
I have purposely avoided West Jet for our last four trips as our friends experienced unreasonable difficulties with receiving a refund during COVID. You didn't provide a flight for whatever reason, give people their money back. Do you want people to use your airline again? I grudgingly used WestJet this time as it was direct flights. I was pleasantly surprised. I had more space than I expected and the in flight entertainment was also not expected.
We requested 2 wheel chairs upon arrival. On board an attendant told us to remain in our seats until everyone was off the plane. we were in row 11 and thought we would be off early. After all were off, a different attendant said we should leave, and that the chairs were gone. One was available for my friend who had just spent 9 days in hospital but I had to walk quite some distance. Eventually a cart arrived to take us the rest of the way. This was over an hour after our arrival. The staff at the terminal did their best to help us but if we had been allowed off with the other passengers, our ride home would have been an hour earlier.
We had to walk up a stairway at PVR which was not illuminated at all. I was carrying carry on luggage and stumbled a few times due to the poor lighting.
Departure delay on a late night flight. Made us even later. Tired but got home.
Flew SEA-CA, then CA-NRT. First flight was short but very uncomfortable, dirty, and had very small overhead storage space. The seats and fans were not cleaned and had visible dirt on them. Second flight was perfect.
Everything went smoothly and as expected. We were on time and one flight arrived early.
Flight was delayed 1.5 hrs due to problem with a previous flight to mine; I was informed appropriately via Text & Email, however, website did not keep up with messages sent by nearly an hour. When checking-in warm & friendly reception at check-in desk until female Air Canada Rep noticed my flight number and instantly pivoted to a condescending & sarcastic comments about getting my bag checked in since I’m running so late; then tone instantly changed again few minutes later when she muttered, “Oh, they’ve delayed it” another sign systems & worse front line staff, not fully informed or simply not reading their flight status updates. Flight crew were very friendly & did a great job trying to make up lost time due to the delay.
It was great, love the experience and will definitely recommend 👌. Communication was great
It was great to check carryon luggage at no charge when there was no room for ours. A hidden benefit of having low-tier tickets. Also great to stay off plane as long as possible. Airline gave us seats we wanted on this last leg, again at no charge.
We had a good flight, service was good and lots of leg room. Service was good and the staff were friendly.
Short flight, crew members were very nice, so much so I'll take the return flight next weekend
It was fine. The seating was tight. My husband is 6' 2", so we were glad to get seats with no one in front of him. I was glad that the plane wasn't packed so I could spread out.
I liked Seattle but nothing air Canada did there was any good at all neither was kayak as when I purchased my flights the price I purchased at was not what kayak charged to my card and there has been no responses to my emails ....
Flew in Business Class. The new AC lounge at SFO is one of the best I’ve been to with a spacious design and an open air deck. Flight itself was on-time and as expected overall.
