For economy, it was very good. Staff was great, they even let some of us change seats for more leg room... Put an empty seat between us which was fantastic for a 12hr flight. Onboard entertainment was excellent, I think over 200 choices of movies/tv/etc The bad was the barely/nonfunctional wifi that cost either $16.99 or 1700 miles (full flight). It was atrocious... Definitely the worst of the last 3 long haul major airlines I was on the last few months.
Electric plugs didn't work. Entertainment system wasn't working
The design of the light switch on the arm rest is ridiculous.
The gate attendant let me walk right by her with a bag too big for the overhead compartment
We were delayed in Toronto on the tarmac for THREE hours with no clear indication as to why except that it was not a safety hazard. Pilot did apologize more than once but even he was unable to explain why exactly we were delayed. I overheard the stewards saying that the captain was very frustrated with the situation as well because he was not able to explain why except it had something to do with water supply or system on the aircraft and now we needed to wait for an engineer to approve the aircraft for flight. It was very frustrating and distressing as a passenger and we should have been given complimentary meals at the very least.
All male crew was just too woke for me. I felt like a sardine. I will never take a window seat or the rearmost seat again. I booked early and did not pay for seat selection and that was a mistake. The security at IAH was atrocious. I was violated and radiated as I was in a hurry to connect to my other flight. I may have lost items under the seat in front of me that I couldn't see nor bend over to look.
In general ok, my only issue is that they had no hot items for purchase. I had very little time in my connection due to baggage/customs/TSA, thag I barely even had a chance for a stop at the washroom and buy water, to make it to my gate when they started boarding. I had nothing to eat because the trip started early, so I was ready to purchase, and they had nothing except for dry items like snacks. I had to purchase a mediocre, overpriced cheese and fruit board, instead of at least a pizza or sliders that I was planning on getting. Other than that, it was fine. But that’s typical Air Canada, to not have enough.
Overall, it was a good experience. Boarding was good and there was plenty of overhead bin space for everyone’s carryons (even when we boarded toward the end). Only improvement would be to offer trash service more regularly.
David went above and beyond to make our flight the best that it could be
No food service almost missed because of first flight delays
The staff were the friendliest I have encountered in years. Absolutely great!
Plane changed to one with no entertainment system or ability to serve hot meals
Flight was delayed 3 times. Then cancelled due to pilot being timed out. They refused hotel vouchers. Gate attendants were very rude and could not help you at all.
No access to any entertainment No food other than a cookie or pretzels even tho flight was over the supper hour Seats very close together and very little leg room Staff was very good
Good. Would be better if the carry on baggage was free.
Horrible. I checked out myself that it seems that I can have a free carry-on. But they ask me to pay $75 when we are nearly boarding. It was tricky during check out that make you mistake that you can have a carry-on beside your personal item. Also they ask $75 in the airport instead of $35 during checkout. So the whole process is designed to make you this mistake
Westjet is one of the worst airlines in the world. 100% guaranteed to have flight delays and flight cancellations. Will never book again with Westjet.
Plane should have entertainment, instead of people paying to use wifi
Westjet has been absolutely terrible! Flights continually cancelled. Took 4 days to get home. Would have been 5, but we booked last flight with another airline after our Westjet flight was cancelled. Even pilot on original flight looked frustrated! Funny how they say cancelation is weather related, but they still have more than 1 other flight leaving to same destination on same day, but of course those are all full. This happened more than once on this trip. Two weather related cancelations and 1 mechanical. Not sure if the last flight even went ahead. Felt so sorry for families with kids and babies, and the older travellers. Felt like we lived out of suitcases and airports for days - SO RIDICULOUS! Next to no help from Westjet staff at airports, but it appears there is nothing they can help you with. Westjet has made it that they are unreachable when you need them! People were getting extremely frustrated, and rightfully so. Additional costs to us really added up, but Westjet literally DOESN'T CARE! Final straw was when we had to pay $1280 on a different airline (economy) trying to get home after another cancelled flight. Westjet will be refunding us a whole $140! Can't believe how this airline operates. We will never, ever use them again!
The only thing I didn’t like was how far away the gate was. I would have requested a wheelchair had I known.
2.5 hour delay sitting in the plane on the tarmac, you tell me how the experience was
I hope these comments will find their way to AC customer experience team. Me and my spouse 50 years of aged coming back from 7 days perfect vacation... While boarding in FLL flight AC1621, one of the boarding agents (tall aged african american) man literelly yeld at my wife during the picture talking process. MAM ! STEP !! BACK !!! We are not illegal immegrants beying deported, nor are we in the millitary. We are customers returning home. This was unacceptable. While boarding in YYZ flight AC1154, one of the boarding agents (tall aged caucasian) man criticied with several complesant remarks my passport condition saying that I could not travel intl with it due to stain, decoloration, and BLOOD. My passport does not have blood on it! Yes it might be in less than perfect condition, but their are ways to talk to customer that does not imply not allow a boarding agent to be angry fathery like, or a custom agent looking at a suspicious individual. Both experience were less than acceptable for might I remind you a paying CUSTOMER returning home.
Comfortable seats and movies entertainment available. Better experience than the flight from Toronto to Denver.
It was delayed by almost 90 minutes and that messed up our plans but it was beyond UA’s control that is what we heard
Terrible experience, flight was delayed both ways. Limited compensation for the 5+ hour delay. Will not be flying Air Canada Rouge, and don’t recommend you do either.
The boarding was relatively quick, the crew welcoming and flight uneventful. The omission of meals on all airlines is unacceptable especially when the flight is during a mealtime such as this one, (lunchtime), is unacceptable.
No Charging ports for personal electronics, which were required to use wifi entertainment.
Rushed, the boarding was a great deal like a Chinese fire drill.
it was red eye flight, it was ok, there was beverage service, thats it i didnt care much as i wanted to sleep
Everything went smoothly. I appreciate the selection of free movies.
