It was great, I’m very grateful for the pilots and crew flight attendants for everything.

It was all good flight was on time, service was good I enjoyed a few movies and everything was smooth

Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.

Airbus plane, nice and polite staff, entertainment even as it was a short flight.

Flight was great. Efficient boarding. Short flight. Early arrival. Friendly flight crew. The entertainment system did not work well. Could not access it until the aircraft reached 10K feet or more. Lots of glitches.

Very nice and clean plane. Transit time between flights was tight though

Our flights got changed from United to Air Canada and our purchased seats did not get transferred so we had to pay for seats twice. I brought it up with Air Canada and they stated I had to go back and chase it with United. The united seats were $21 Canadian each and Air Canada were $56 each so we have paid $77 for each seat. Very unhappy

So far so good but food and entertainment are not available for this flight

Plane temperature was comfortable (not to hot) when boarding and waiting for takeoff.

Michael, our FA was very attentive, even finding me a chocolate brownie from economy class when the dessert selections were all dairy based. ( intolerant, not allergic so don’t usually need to order dairy free)

Staff was nice, helpful, and did all they could. I understand economy seats are bottom of the barrel, but we're crammed in there with others in our row.

Our flight info was lost as the original booking was with westjet... almost missed our outbound flight trying to get it corrected. Inbound we had to reschedule completely as they didn't have our information and resold our seats ending up getting home much later than planned. The confirmation numbers we received from justfly for westjet didn't help anything with delta as they said we needed a delta confirmation which we never received. I talked with justfly and they said it's the airlines problem and with westjet and they said it is the 3rd party bookers issue.... so, not fun

They kept making changes to the itinerary. I actually wasn't able to go and i tried to get flight credit in exchange for the ticket, but the customer service chat was taking way too much time.

WestJet canceled my booking, replaced it with a booking that didn't work (departing from cruise ship), and didn't offer any flights that did work. Their only option was for me to cancel and go to another airline for more money. Which I did.

Nothing to like because my inbound flight was cancelled without notification by West Jet or third party, JustFly. I couldn’t take the inbound flight due to cancellation; therefore could not take the outbound flight back.

The seats are totally uncomfortable making the flight less than pleasant. The cookies & pretzels were terrible!!!

Late departure, so I missed connection in Detroit. But Delta gave me a great hotel & breakfast. Just sorry I could not get anything from my checked baggage.

Crew was friendly. Lost our luggage and told us it’d be in later in the evening of the day we returned. It was not. Still after 5 days have not received it.

Internet on both flights was sketchy. Thus in flight entertainment was non- existent on MN - Balrimote leg.

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.
