Plane was one hour late. Hardly any space for our carry-ons. Stressful to catch connections.

Plane was one hour late. Hardly any space for our carry-ons. Stressful to catch connections.

I like the wider seats, Plus lots of legroom, Lacking entertainment, no tv or screen to play with

8 hrs. Of waiting instead of couple of hours..the only good thing I'm still able to go to my destination...

Let people know if carry on is free when you are checking luggage

Over an hour late. Lousy flight attendant who was just going through the motions in every aspect of her job. The Dash 8 aircraft is super basic (no entertainment system, small seats, limited storage). Carry on luggage doesn’t fit in overhead bins.

The fight was delayed for 30 minutes. The Dash 8 Q400 was not my favourite plane it was very tight for space. Next time I fly with Westjet I will book a larger plane.

I got home. I won’t fly in a dash8Q400 again. It’s way too small of a plane.

I didn't like anything, Westjet cancelled the flight the morning we were to leave.

I found the seating much more comfortable than in the larger plane.

Check in was painless, easy going crew. Short flight, so no entertainment. They offered a snack .. a single biscuit. Otherwise the service wasn’t excellent nor was is bad.
