Our biggest complaint was a major schedule change that was not communicated to us in any way. Luckily the time change went later not earlier so we did not miss the flight. Our email addresses and phone numbers were on file but we received no email no text message no nothing. Short flight so not much to say.

No internet, not even westjet connect makes for a boring flight

7 hour layover was a drag. Free internet on the long leg was great.

It was good! Short flight and it was on time!

Flights were cancelled setting me in panic mode since my much needed weekend escape with friends was only a short one. No apologies given at the airport nor on the plane. Flight was rescheduled

My husband required a wheelchair to get to the airplane and the service he received was exemplary. Thank you.

WestJet was able to re-book us to the next available flight at no charge when air traffic controller staffing shortage delayed our inbound flight

Boarding process was poor and slow. Should fill the plane up from the back like other good airlines

Difficult to say. Over crowded but that is the fault of the airplane not WestJet

Departure delay on a late night flight. Made us even later. Tired but got home.
