Lots of overhead storage, good crew, good service, smooth landing.

It was good, flight was on time, boarding was smooth and done in zones, food was good too but there was no form of entertainment. Luggage’s were intact. So an overall good flight

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.

Too squished in seats. I'm 110 lbs and 5'6....can't imagine being any bigger and flying

Original flight canceled and communicated poorly. A series of gate changes , delays and plane changes followed. Even after the entire flight boarded there was another plane changes followed. Food vouchers provided to my travel companion but not to me despite being on the same reservation. No in flight entertainment. The entire experience was terrible although the flight crew were great.

Early flight was great. Naps, movie and into Mexico with time left in the first day.

We are experiencing more delays with westjet than other companies. West jet used to be our favorite airline.

Was a short flight, not good or bad. Extremely cramped and I'm only 6feet 1inches. 295lbs.

Check in agent was good, stewardess was unfriendly and certainly did not have the care of the passengers in mind Spent the whole time on her phone

Average at best. Typical of WestJet these days. Crew far from friendly.
