No real issues on this flight other than the overhead bins said reserved for premium customers for a large section that was over non-first class seating
Upon arrival at Eugene, they pushed the flight 45 minutes, then as that approached they pushed it another hour, then as that approached they pushed it another hour, about halfway into that they moved the boarding time/departure time forward about 15 minutes. More than a little bit annoying!
The seats are so close to seats in front that you cannot lean forward and reach anything you may have placed or dropped on the floor.
It's no surprise that bigger overhead space would be nice, but they are super convenient and helpful with the baggage claim stuff.
I like the customer service. I was upgraded on flight, so enjoyed the better seat selection
Overall, excellent, including the warmth, friendliness and equanimity of all the employees,
First flight one hour late, return on time. On both flights everybody were just great Seats comfortable. No complaints, just , 2 good flights. Like flying Alaska Airlines.
Plane narrows toward back of flight. Seats small. No snack options. I cookie pack going. 1 pretzel pack on return. No in flight entertainment for long flight.
The friendliest flight attendants at flight 2276 from Portland to YVR August 3
It was fine… I guess. The flight was delayed and we sat on the tarmac for some time. I was late to my meeting. There was no food or snack served in first class, only drinks. It was pretty mediocre.
This was a West Jet leg and was basically on time. Everybody was helpful and kind.
We got stuck on the tarmac taxiing after landing early so we didn’t get off the plane until an hour later than we thought we would
Bus to plane was delayed for no apparent reason and our luggage was still on the belt when they shut it off. Took about 20 minutes to turn it back on to get our luggage.
I haven’t flown economy in over 20 years but it was not bad. Room by my feet for my bag and seat was roomy enough. Surprised in a good way.
Second flight in a row where the entertainment system is broken. 5 hour long flight with no entertainment and flight attendants did not seem interested in resolving the matter. Very shocked to be treated this poorly considering I paid for a first class experience and have Diamond Medallion status.
The service from the flight attendants were of supreme quality. They greeted and treated everyone with a wide smile. This is totally absent nowadays. Kudos to them!!!!
Overall, terrible. Flight from SFO was delayed due to “air traffic control issues”, and we were all mislead about connecting flights. Told “you have 20 minutes to catch your connection”. Reality was 5. We got to watch the plane sit at the bridge. Won’t fly Delta with a connection again.
Forced to check my bag which fit in carry on, boarded and then sat for over an hour waiting to take off with no explanation.
My seat had no padding, it was literally plywood with a plastic cover. I could not change seats on my 10 hour flight. My excitement for this trip helped me deal with the pain.
West Jet has a horrible boarding process and the seats have no cushion.
Our flight was delayed 3x and we were unaware until 15min of arriving at the airport so had we been made aware sooner we could have enjoyed possibly another 4hrs poolside. Very frustrating. Made the next day going back to work extremely tough too.
Due to delays at SFO, my WestJet light missed its connecting WestJet flight. If they had held the plane in Calgary for 15 minutes, 2 families with children would not have been stranded in Calgary for more than 24 hours. I understand the need to be on-time, but when it is the same company, you would think they could make a phone call. Or maybe they could go to a higher altitude to make up for lost time? Instead of attempting to put us on another flight, they rescheduled us for the same connecting flight 24 hours later. We then had to scramble to find a hotel, which they state that they were not responsible for since the delay was not their fault and therefore became an additional out of pocket expense for us. The customer service is severely lacking here at this company. They also mentioned that if we purchased our tickets through a 3rd party site (Kayak) versus WestJet directly, that they couldn't help us. Seriously?? Additionally, we lost 2 days of travel and missed out on tours and taxis that were pre-booked. I will not be using WestJet again,
This airline would not refund my money and I had a physician note that I could not fly. They are crooks
No pre boarding kiosk to check in, baggage claim detected luggage didn’t leave the airport, poorly managed recovery of lost luggage, and blame lost tag from conveyor to TSA/security, very poor from TSA/security check to delivery, crucial if compensation will go thru and will likely wait for months unlike United,
Plane seating was uncomfortable, very tight fitting for someone my height, did not recline and overall un enjoyable
No communication from Kayak or West Jet. Booked extra flights, flights cancelled, no one answers calls. Will be disputing charges.
Leg room is a problem the plane was dirty and there were no movies available on the app
The personal item sizer cannot take a standard backpack, and the cabin luggage sizer cannot take a standard carry-on. Designed for people from the island of Lilliput!!. and also compels people to pay additional fees to check their bags. Making money by ticking off the passengers is a very short-sighted business strategy, especially since they have a choice of carriers
We were very happy with Westjet and would choose them again. We wish they included seat & luggage in total price instead of extra. Just give us the total cost.
The overhead bin space is ridiculously small. When I saw how small the plane was, I asked multiple flight attendants and even someone on the runway before boarding if I should check my carryon. Instead they made me compress and stuff it into the overhead bin - so aggressively that I thought the bin door would break. Just ridiculous. When we landed, I had to pull so hard to get the bag out that I hit my head on the opposite overhead bin. No one offered to help and the entire crew acted annoyed that I was concerned that my bag wouldn’t fit. Terrible customer service - they should have seen my bag and instantly recommended that I check it in during boarding.
Warning- Air Canada makes it almost impossible to get a refund if a flight is cancelled. My flight was cancelled due to a damaged plane. This airline then rebooked me for a later flight. I went on line and tried to navigate their site to rebook to another within my original itinerary and I had thought I had changed it the first time, but since their site is nothing like our sites here in the states, you had to closely look for the links to complete the process. Then came the other problem. Trying to get a $45 refund on check in baggage, that I had paid for one day in advance. I tried calling the airline's customer service. They stated they are unable to process refunds for this. They then referred me to an on line site. This site required you to answer a multitude of drop down questions that are not applicable to a simple flight cancelation. Then right when I think I am done, it asks for an "incident number". I then eventually fly into Vancouver BC International Airport and speak to 3 Air Canada employees. They then tell me they cannot refund me my check in bagge fee. Once again, they refer me to this ridiculous site . They then give me a code to list and tell me to use the airport code, plus the letters AC followed by the flight # to list as an incident #. I tried this and guess what, it failed. Kayak, if you're listening. Something is very ethically wrong with Air Canada's refund process, especially when one of their planes is damaged and a flight is canceled. I have flown for many years, every week for a long time period with many airlines. Please post this so the public can see this accurate assessment of their airline customer service failure.
Internet wouldn’t work even after I paid for the package. That was my only real complaint, otherwise excellent.
Flight was on time, staff worked hard to accommodate passengers, Efficient smooth flight, One washroom out of order but not a significant issue Easy short 3 hour flight
Seats were small and uncomfortable my seat was Broken and didn’t lean back
The one review I made last I thought was from Houston to calgary so go off that one
From San Francisco to Calgary the seats were uncomfortable. We wish they could lean a bit back.
Check-in was excellent. Flight crew were average, but managed the weather induced stress calmly. We were delayed five hours due to weather, equipment, and staffing shortages.
Flight attendants were super, pilot did a great take off and landing, all in all “Great flight”
Flight was delayed, connection was missed, Airline failed to follow Canadian Customs and Border rules which could of resulted in the loss of personal property, fine or possibly being arrested. Gates for departures were suddenly changed, and airline lost my clothing and a cased firearm. I have also lost a day of hunting with an outfitter to the tune of $875 per day. Think I’m upset, do not under any circumstances use this airline.
Maple Leaf Lounge morning food could be more carried and substantial. All AC portion well managed, clean and on schedule
