crew was great, wifi was very poor could not even load a youtube video
Terrible. First my return flight was rescheduled to a terrible itinerary. Paid for window seats where there was no window. All of my seats were mediocre or terrible despite paying in advance for them. Zero onboard entertainment- it didn’t work or wasn’t available. If it was available there were zero instructions provided. I also didn’t like being forced to check my carry-on luggage. Delta screwed me around on the way home with a 2 hour flight delay that caused me to miss my connecting flight so my luggage did not come home with me but had to be shipped on a later flight. Just grateful they found it. But Delta attendants lied about the delay - a supervisor at an info booth assured me they would compensate because it was the fault of the pilot arriving over an hour late but when I went to the boarding gate to get help with this they insisted it was a ground problem in Toronto and not Delta’s fault BUT another flight to Toronto was going around the same time with no delays and West Jet agents in Toronto said there was no notice of any ground delays at the airport (which I have on video). When I went back to the info desk to find the Delta supervisor she was gone. I had to run through Toronto airport asking any availabile West Jet staff I could find to book a new flight home as I didn’t have a connecting flight anymore. Baggage wouldn’t help OR give me my bag back. Because we were one of the last flights into the airport all staff had left. I finally decided to go through security to find an agent at a boarding desk and was lucky to catch one before she left to get booked onto the next flight home in the morning but I still had to spend the night in the airport. It was awful!!! I was scared, travelling alone and desperate to find help - which was a extreme challenge. Maybe 2 out of the dozen people I asked were pleasant. The rest difficult. I felt betrayed. Oh and I kept getting directed to the information desk in Toronto airport but no one was on staff and I used the phone to try calling someone but I kept getting useless recording. I will not be flying Delta or West Jet again. It will be a long time before I feel safe to travel again. Many tears. This was an awful and highly stressful experience.
It took 30 minutes to check in with the Westjet rep. They didn’t have enough seats and she needed to make a call… I am always “randomly” selected to be checked at security. Their “randomly “ selection system may need some updating. They treat people like criminals. It is not appropriate behavior.
First flight out in the morning is often the best chance of running on time. Not in this case, which unfortunately is now what passengers can expect as what is common. - If you are late for a flight, too bad for you. - If West Jet is late, too bad for you. - Bags don't make it? Too bad for you. - Flight change by 1+ days, too bad for you Prices continue to increase, while customer service nosedives. This is backwards and in any other develop country would be considered unacceptable - except for Canada. Too bad for us.
Lots of delays and a broken plane, would not recommend
Westjet is the worst airline. If you fly with them, you can expect 100% delays or flight cancellations. I support all Canadian, but not Westjet. They are terrible at what they do and will avoid them as much as possible.
Will never book through you again. Very disappointed in the notices and action taken or provided when planes are rescheduled, enough to cause missed connections
Experience was good. Was surprised they didn’t offer a complimentary meal on a 5 hour flight.
Too squished in seats. I'm 110 lbs and 5'6....can't imagine being any bigger and flying
The flight attendants were great, but not much room while sitting and it would be nice to get free movies.
As usual, terrible. Delayed flight, missed connection and wasted hours at the airport. The only reason I use this airline is because of limited options.
The flight was delayed to 1:50 am from 12:05am which caused confusion for us on the connecting flight.
Not much....we did not get the complimentary beverages promised in our ticket. My partner and I did not have the window seats promised. We didnt get to sit together.....
It was great. Although when I got my luggage it was broken.
In both directions, one of the two flights was delayed in departing. due to mechanical issues (not weather). That tells me that inspection and maintenance is not being done often enough to prevent such from occurring. In the outbound direction, the second leg was delayed and we had to change our plans for after landing, thus missing an expected event. In the return direction, the first leg that was delayed; we had a long enough layover that we were not hurried to make our connection, but others were not so lucky. Comment about this survey process: in the multiple choice answers, there is no option for "Not Applicable"; as we had no food on board, we can't properly answer that question.
I liked not paying for carry on and the compensation my husband and I received from the airline for overbooking our flight. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
It was a short flight and for that reason the flight was acceptable.
Overall, a good experience. The crew were not as friendly/helpful on my flight from Toronto to Nashville, but they were nice enough. I asked for a coffee about 45 min before landing, the flight attendant acted put out at the request.. apparently, they forgot about it and when I asked again they said it was too late. It was the only thing I asked for on the flight. Needless to say, it bugged me.
The seats really could do with some extra padding. The staff member who checked me in at Calgary was amazing. Friendly and lovely.
The trip from booking to execution was great! The plane from YVR to YYC had LCD panels for entertainment which was great, but the return flight from YYC to YVR did not have them. Oh well--it was a short flight. Food was a pretty minor "token" snack, but hey--it was a short flight. It could have been skipped entirely and I would have rated the flight well.
