It was as good as it could be. Flying is not a pleasant experience these days.
Very good flight. Crew was great. No issues and we even arrived early.
Be on time? When not on time a circling for over an hour offer more than 1 bag of chips to the passengers? It was a 7 hour flight by the time we got done.
Flight delayed four separate times. I’m now one hour hours late to landing.
I was in first class and literally the men behind me were so aggressively loud I moved myself to economy. This has become so common on Delta - people using audio without headphones, and men on 12am / late night flights drinking and yelling to talk to each other which prevents anyone around them from resting. Pretty crazy to have to move from first to economy (poorer service, less comfort...). Wild wild. Looking into other airlines.
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.
Flew first class so everything was great. But maybe because the flights were red eye, no meals were served, just chips. I flew Alaska Air 1st class at 9PM (2 hour flight) and they served beef short rib sliders!
West Jet has a horrible boarding process and the seats have no cushion.
Plane was turned around due to fog half way into the flight, Delta did not properly direct passengers to stay on same flight and instead failed to properly rebook on Alaska
They cancelled and moved my flight with no email or text or any other notice. I discovered this only when I attempted to check in for my flight. Actual flying experience was above average.
The flight was ahead of schedule. A half glass of juice and a cookie is pathetic! No entertainment possibilities. Not even a plug-in for phone or IPad if you wanted to watch a downloaded movie. Back to flying Air Canada!
Flight was delayed 1.5 hours. Baggage took 45 minutes to reach carousel
The quality of service at WestJet has really decline in the past couple years. Now they rarely leave on time and are full of excuses to obviously try to minimize their responsibility for compensation. Reality and what is mentioned at the gate for delaus rarely jive. If you apply for compensation even if appropriate, you are declined. They need to get back to doing the small things great rather than look for more reasons to grab money.
Your staff on the flight back to Calgary were very friendly and efficient .
The flight was on time - which is good. But pretty much every other aspect of the experience was bad. They charged 55$ for a carry on bag!
Flight was old and the seats were not comfortable at all. They made me pay 55$ to take my carry-on bag onboard.
The first flight was cancelled so they automatically re-booked me to fly out *2 days* later. I had to call and spend over an hour on hold to get a new flight. Woke up the next morning to find out the new flight had been delayed enough that I wouldn't be able to make my connection so I called again, spent another hour+ on hold, and then got disconnected. Called again, another hour+ on hold to find out they couldn't find a replacement flight that would get me to my destination in time for my meetings so I had to cancel my trip. Note that the original flight cancellation and the delay of the 2nd flight were both due to "staffing issues".
Generally poor experience with excessive luggage fees. Plane seats were very uncomfortable. Flight did not take off on time, however arrived on time. Boarding seems very inefficient.
Over all good. I had some issues with trying to buy my seat. The Westjet system kept trying to charge my credit card, without getting the seat. In the end after 5 times being charged, I got my seat.
