I was impressed with how quickly the baggage transfers were made.
The Airline Attendant found us in flight and moved us to seats in the front of economy due to the short time we would have to make our connecting flight. We really appreciated it.
This was a West Jet leg and was basically on time. Everybody was helpful and kind.
Flight team was great and we even arrived ahead of plan!
Flight late, the waited for a long time for “personal” to arrive at gate to dock the plane in Rochester. So annoying. This flight was expected, why aren’t personel available for the jet bridge?
Flight delayed for two and half hours and then canceled altogether due to mechanical issues. No mechanic onsite to fix so had to send one from LAX.
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.
West Jet has a horrible boarding process and the seats have no cushion.
Flight and seats were great. Food service was average at best. The real main problem we had is that we got cheeseburgers for the kids but the plates was extremely hot. Like ridiculously hot and the stewardess never said anything. Luckily or unluckily my wife touched the plate and was able to deal with it before the kids got burned.
The kid in the middle seat kicked me almost the whole flight, almost kicked my hot tea off my tray. The flight was delayed due to the first plane not being able to be de-iced in July! We had to get a new plane. Now I drive 3 hours back to Edmonton because direct flights from PVR were way to expensive
The entertainment they offer could use some games, and maybe they could add some cookies to the snack menu. And the automated messages are a bit repetitive. But it was comfortable temperature wise and the seats were comfortable. The crew is very polite and helpful
Booked through Kayak Business, had a seat in middle and towards back due to booking rate, not comfortable.
ticket agent lady wás very helpful , she arranged wheel chair for my elderly mother
Flight was good but there are way to many announcements for credit cards etc.
The pilots were late and it made us 1 hour late. The meat was tough and bok choy was also tough.
Not a great experience. We paid for the upgrade for premium economy seats and seated ourselves in very comfortable seats. Someone came along with the same seat on their boarding pass. The aircraft had been changed and as a result we were booted out and sent further back to small uncomfortable seats. After complaining we were moved to emergency row seats, which gave us more leg room but the seats don’t recline. For people in our 70’s we found having to sit upright from California to NJ very uncomfortable. Not sure why they chose to move senior citizens instead of the two people that were allowed to take the more comfortable seats. Not happy.
Very poor the plane itself was really old, slight smell that couldn’t be named. I didn’t even get a boarding pass UNTIL AFTER clearing security! Even then, they said when I get to my connected flight I’ll get my 2nd boarding pass there! A bit ridiculous!
Due to one crew member not showing up to work, our flight was significantly delayed causing us to miss our connecting flight in Houston to Mississippi causing us to be delayed by more than 6 hours and missing our event all together. Very disappointing. All because ONE crew member called in sick. United did grant us a $15 meal voucher, which was a small but appreciated concession that I wasn’t able to use because I ordered my lunch and paid for it before applying the concession, and the staff said it was too late to use it. Ugh! We also had a TWO delay coming back from Mississippi, but that was on American Airlines and it was due to weather, so not their fault. Anyway, not at all impressed with United’s handling of our flight and the HUGE disappointment of missing our important family event for our 90 year old mother. All that money and all that stress and emotions for nothing. Having to wait the hour to bring an employee from LAX seemed like something that should not have happened. Why don’t you have a local back-up? Santa Ana is not a little airport in a rural area.
the head jack on my seat didn't work and the power outlet didn't work for my seat
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,
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.
Fair. What's the point of partnering with United if we cannot use the lounge. My wife is a frequent flier with United but we were refused access to Air Canada lounge
The mid flight snack could have been more substantial than tiny bag of pretzels.
We left a CPAP machine under the seat and informed them. They emailed after 3 days delivery or ship! We paid $54 and stayed at the house every day for 10 Am delivery “Priority overnight” . It was never delivered. Emailed and Martin kept replying that label was created. I had to leave on Sunday so we went to lax in person and after 2 hours asking and going from one place to another, we finally got it. Very disappointing experience. Air Canada DOESNOT have a customer care line to call to speak to a live person. Cpap machine is a breathing machine for sleep. I had very hard time for a week. We could not get out and explore California every day as we were expecting FedEx 10 Am delivery ! It’s crazy that they charged us too and now they don’t even refund. No more air Canada!!!!!
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
Clean plane, nice crew, on time flight all good. No real issues, a pleasant flight
Once the flight was boarded, the captain let us know there was a mechanical issue. Multiple other updates followed (mechanical issue is within acceptable parameters, just kidding it's not, we might have to get off, just kidding, we'll stay on but now we need the log book. Ok now we have the log book, now we're gonna leave. Just kidding NOW we're gonna leave). So I arrived at 11 am for my 2pm flight, but the flight didn't leave until 4pm. Why the bleep you want us to get there 3 hours ahead when there's gonna be two hours more to wait? That's five hours of my life I'll never get back... my time is worth something no? And the time of all those other people... how many people on board maybe a few hundred say 300 times 5 hours wasted. That's 1500 hours of people's lives dude. Come on.
From San Francisco to Calgary the seats were uncomfortable. We wish they could lean a bit back.
Flight attendants were super, pilot did a great take off and landing, all in all “Great flight”
Staff was great at checkin as well as flight crew. I also appreciate the effort to keep carryon at the intended limit
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.
