Pros: Comfortable seat with plenty of hip & leg room.
Cons: Charged $35. for luggage because I didn't know I could go online with the Flair Air website & pay prior to check in. They were friendly and advised me to do this in the future.
Pros: The plane didn't crash like website and they did not charge $10 for printing off my boarding pass, as no one could with website down. Also, some budget airlines now only allow 40lbs in checked baggage, Looks like they allow 50lbs.
Cons: Similar problem on the way home, could not book luggage online but could check in. Shop closes at 5 CST so could not call. Even though we told at checkout that it was because of the Christmas volume online, still had to pay Airport (extra) price to check-in baggage. They said I could perhaps get the penalty fee returned if I called in. Told her it's not worth 2 hours on a paid long distance call to get $20 back.
Pros: Great crew, fast boarding, nearly empty plane so I had the whole three seat row to myself.
Cons: The hydraulic pump for the inboard flaps sounded like it was on it's last legs and howled whenever adjustments were made. The cabin pressurization system whistled so loud that I had to put ear buds in to protect my hearing (just on takeoff/landing). Proper maintenance is important!
Pros: Crew were great.
Cons: I was told by transat to down load an App. to watch entertainment only to be told by Flair Air that they did not provide the service and that I was given the wrong information. So no TV for 5 hrs.

Pros: Price
Cons: It took almost an hour from landing for our luggage to make it to the belt. For a domestic flight, this is really poor.
Pros: Flying to Europe departure timing and the crew service were great. The regular food was better than all the bigger airlines I have flown recently. I look forward to the trying the gourmet offerings in the future.
Cons: You have to pay extra for seats assigned when you buy your ticket or select them 24hrs before departure. Airlines still have not learned how to deal with babies on parents laps. The little children on parents laps on full flights are as uncomfortable as the neighboring passengers. Bathrooms need mid flight service. Passengers were not considerate.
Cons: Seats are smaller than other airlines, terrible experience. I felt I was being squeezed the whole time
Pros: Crew and main dish
Cons: Seating is incredibly uncomfortable. Too tight for legs or elbows. Terrible cushioning for the back. The temperature was also WAY TOO COLD. Movie selection was absurd and very limited.
Pros: Seats had decent space.
Cons: Only had limited food so when the staff came, they had nothing left except for junk. Pretty pathetic considering we have to pay for it too. They prefer to let their passengers starve. No entertainment. Wouldn't take air Transat again unless I had no choice.
Pros: The most amazing flight crew. The flight was very cold and one of the flight attendants surprised me with a tea to make sure I was warm. I fly frequently with many different airlines and West Jet ALWAYS has the best flight crew.
Pros: Flight right on time
Pros: good looking crew members
Cons: ugly pilot
Pros: When I missed my flight by 5 minutes due to AA failure at the gate. The woman at the westjet gate was super friendly and kind to me. She gave me a good seat and meal vouchers to get me through the night. Unlike AA who could not care less.
Cons: I missed my flight but that not your fault.
Cons: During my booking I ended up with my return flight being on the same day as my departing flight. I was surprised that this was not noticed as I would not have even reached Vancouver before I was scheduled to return. My fault too as I did not look at the tickets when I printed then off before we left Fortunately there was only a 120.00 charged to change our tickets. I am just thankful my husband noticed the day before we got to the airport to come home as the flight was totally booked.
Pros: Good normal flight.
Pros: Great
Cons: Unable to change the star rating. They were preselected.
Cons: This was an overnight flight but for those of us in the back of the plane (near this staff hangout section) there was no rest. They were speaking loudly, sometimes over each other, as though at a house party for the duration of the 5 hour OVERNIGHT flight. This isnt the second time I have flown long distance with Air Canada and the 'frat party' in the back occurred on both flights. The first time was much worse-12 hours from Seoul to Toronto- with the party going on the entire time. LOW BUDGET service and attitude at major carrier prices.
Pros: Flight
Cons: Flight re booked
Pros: On time
Cons: Sepeated seating with my wife
Pros: I got to come back home! The fly was delayed due to a technical issue that required a part to be sourced. Unfortunately, the part was not available in the local shop (YVR-Vancouver) Instead they had to fly the part to be replaced from (YYZ-Toronto) The good fortune for us is that the hotel did allow us to use their facilities and enjoy their F&B all with the exception of a room to lay. They allowed pools and lounge chairs which is just as well. I am not trying to be critical but have the delayed occur while we were at the Airport-It would have been a killer way to close a vacation! Check-in agent was superb. She was very helpful and understanding and really a super star
Cons: Lack of information by local agents either by the design or just by being left in the dark. The Airport staff was not knowledgeable either they were very sympathetic and accommodating (more so than the Nexus-Local Agents) I am sure is beyond their power and is not something they have power or control over. It was bad luck! I would hate to be the incoming passengers as it meant they lost a whole afternoon.
Pros: The check in process was wildly understaffed, which caused our flight to take off over an hour late. The staff allowed a severely intoxicated man on the plane, and wasted our time reseating him to the front, and allowing another man to get off the plane. The staff also did not quiet down outrageously loud passengers, and spent about half an hour confusing them about where their carry in luggage had to go.
Cons: There was almost a 1 hour delay in boarding...there was no annoucement was so ever as to delay time frame expexted to board etc.Explanation was given when on the plane.
Cons: the flight was 1.5 hours late in departing and there was no information provided regarding the delay
Pros: Chrckin terminals broke. The baggage handling did t work The flight was 3 hrs late They lost my bags
Pros: Comfortable seat with plenty of hip & leg room.
Cons: Charged $35. for luggage because I didn't know I could go online with the Flair Air website & pay prior to check in. They were friendly and advised me to do this in the future.
Cons: New leaf discontinued their Sunday Halifax to Hamilton flight which was to be my return flight home. They did offer me a full refund if I needed to cancel or to rebook on a different flight but I couldn't make the new dates work so I took the full refund. I booked the flights in December for a flight in Feb and they cancelled half way through January so there wasn't a lot of notice given
Pros: The plane didn't crash like website and they did not charge $10 for printing off my boarding pass, as no one could with website down. Also, some budget airlines now only allow 40lbs in checked baggage, Looks like they allow 50lbs.
Cons: Similar problem on the way home, could not book luggage online but could check in. Shop closes at 5 CST so could not call.

Pros: Crew were great.
Cons: I was told by transat to down load an App. to watch entertainment only to be told by Flair Air that they did not provide the service and that I was given the wrong information. So no TV for 5 hrs.
Cons: Flight was delayed, boarding disorganized, very little legroom, only one beverage service for a 5 hr flight, no snacks (pretzels, peanuts etc).
Pros: Seats had decent space.
Cons: Only had limited food so when the staff came, they had nothing left except for junk. Pretty pathetic considering we have to pay for it too. They prefer to let their passengers starve. No entertainment. Wouldn't take air Transat again unless I had no choice.
Pros: Convenient time ,food was ok and no delay.
Cons: No plug ,no inflight entertainment ,uncomfortable sits and crew was not overly friendly
Cons: Old plane small cabin and seats hurt after 4 hrs.
Cons: The seats for Club class are not comfortable.

Cons: Can't expect anything from seat sale flight.
Pros: Our flight moved up one hour from our original booking, which wasn't ideal, though we were rerouted, transferring in Calgary rather than Vancouver. This should have saved us time, so we didn't mind.
Cons: But then we sat on the tarmac in Toronto for an hour and a half, which cause us to miss our connecting flight in Calgary. In the end, we got home later than planned. The flight was fine, but the changes and delays were frustrating.
Pros: Good leg room for a change.
Cons: Lots of delays on both flights. Expensive in flight meal options. Even in flight entertainment was with payment only.
Pros: The flight and the seating was comfortable. Food served was fine too.
Cons: Well, they mixed up my check-in luggage during transit. As a result it got delayed and I had to spend the night without it. Although, I was informed about this miss when I landed in Vancouver, the team did not seem to feel particularly bad about it. Also, the process of getting reimbursed for the predefined expenditure allowance needs to be more efficient. Ideally, in such cases, the airlines should not only refund the check-in fee, but also provide a prepaid card to make any urgent purchases. Their current process requires one to bear the expenses initially, scan/click and send the original receipts and await a response from their baggage team. I am waiting to hear back from them on my submission.
Pros: Movies.
Cons: Two hour delayed take off. All waited on the plane. Not pleased.
Pros: It’s hard to write a review when flight was supposed to leave at 6:30 and didn’t until midnight, but due to weather. It was frustrating for all but staff and pilot kept us informed at all times so that was appreciated. There wasn’t much to do but to wait out the weather.
Cons: For the weather to be better and to have left on time - but obviously that is out of everyone’s control.
Pros: Reliability and flights departed and arrived as scheduled
Cons: 2 hour delay with very little communication as to why. Plane was way too big for a short domestic flight (boarding and departure took longer than the flight itself). Parked at far end of the airport so 15+ mins walk to arrivals. All around one of the worst flight experiences I’ve had in years!
Pros: Tv on the seats
Cons: Charged for luggage, no complimentary snack.
Cons: New leaf discontinued their Sunday Halifax to Hamilton flight which was to be my return flight home.

Pros: Everything about Newleaf was awesome.
Cons: One of the washrooms was a disgrace! There was vomit or diarrhea or both on the floor and on the top to the toilet seat. No one bothered to clean it up. Also, my wife identified herself to Lufthansa that she has celiac's disease, yet when the food cart came by, she was informed that all she could purchase that was gluten free was nuts. We found out later that there was a fruit and cheese plate available. Also, it seems that there were few items available from the on board menu. Why bother even having a menu if many of the items were not available? Air Canada should be ashamed!
Pros: That we made it to Vancouver on the scheduled day
Cons: Non-existent schedule, 3 hours late on top of poor connection with overseas flight (total 6.5 hr wait in Toronto), old drab equipment, unremarkable barebones joyless service
Pros: Good normal flight.
Pros: Everyone and everything was outstanding! Completely opposite of every experience I've ever had with Air Canada! They finally get it! Treated us like we were people and valued customers! Amazing!
Cons: Entertainment choices limited compared to the past. Very few recent releases (they now have "new to Air Canada" releases and they can be decades old
Pros: Flying to Europe departure timing and the crew service were great. The regular food was better than all the bigger airlines I have flown recently. I look forward to the trying the gourmet offerings in the future.
Cons: You have to pay extra for seats assigned when you buy your ticket or select them 24hrs before departure. Airlines still have not learned how to deal with babies on parents laps. The little children on parents laps on full flights are as uncomfortable as the neighboring passengers. Bathrooms need mid flight service. Passengers were not considerate.
Pros: Flow as smooth , attendants were good.
Cons: Boarding was delayed and then we sat about an hour on board waiting to get de-iced. Ended up over 1 1/2 hours late.
Pros: The flight was on time
Cons: The plane noise was loud
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything. Really tight seats, sloppy entertainment, terrible food, decent staff. Door malfunctioned so bad to stay on the plane longer, almost missing the connector.
Pros: Seats had decent space.
Cons: Only had limited food so when the staff came, they had nothing left except for junk. Pretty pathetic considering we have to pay for it too. They prefer to let their passengers starve. No entertainment. Wouldn't take air Transat again unless I had no choice.

Cons: Charged $35. for luggage because I didn't know I could go online with the Flair Air website & pay prior to check in. They were friendly and advised me to do this in the future.
Cons: My suitcase was damaged and it was not handled well at the airport and I have not heard back from the Airline
Pros: Friendly staff, comfy seats, in flight entertainment and charging stations at every seat
Cons: Not a lot of leg room, hectic boarding
Cons: We boarded then waited 1.5 hours on the tarmac for a couple of passengers who were late from their connection. I don't mind waiting a reasonable amount of time but that was unreasonable and it was hot with no air conditioning. The whole plane shouldn't be delayed that long for a couple of people. Also, no in flight entertainment.
Pros: Great price! For the price, we didn't expect much, just travel and get there safe - NO FRILLS. We paid a little extra for legroom and are happy this was not an inflated price. Paying in advance for our bag and getting a small discount was also appreciated. "Get what you pay for" without feeling "nickled and dimed" is what we consider economical and fare treatment.
Cons: Again "you get what you pay for" is considered. However if I was to be critical, the choice of movies was a little stressful and one sided. (Star Wars and The Avengers). I brought my own entertainment but I felt bad for the Older generation who may have preferred something a little more relaxing and less CGI explosions. Also the interior decor and hardware of the plane was seriously aged and worn, which could use for an upgrade soon.
Pros: Excellent crew and good food. All hood. Thanks.
Pros: Everything about Newleaf was awesome.

Pros: When I missed my flight by 5 minutes due to AA failure at the gate. The woman at the westjet gate was super friendly and kind to me. She gave me a good seat and meal vouchers to get me through the night. Unlike AA who could not care less.
Cons: I missed my flight but that not your fault.
Cons: Crying baby behind me, man sitting next to me was sleeping on me, when I asked to switch seats, the response was “sorry.. are you ok though?”
Cons: Nothing.
Pros: Everything,.
Cons: Too short
Pros: Great service! Crew was very friendly and happy. Flight was online and landed early
Cons: No screen on the back of the chairs
