Flight was on time. Landed at Pearson a few minutes early but still waiting for our bags over an hour and a half since landing!!! Horrible baggage handling at Pearson!!
Nice plane
I was not impressed with receiving messages concerning the original time of departure was sent to me as well as the current updated messages for the corrected time of departure. I needed to call and speak with a person to ensure my daughter and I were on the correct flight. It was confirmed however, the correct time of departure was then changed from 4:45 pm to 6:05 pm. Once at the airport, it was then changed to depart at 6:30 pm. This was a 4.5 hr. flight so we arrived at Ottawa International Airport at 1:30 am on June 12th rater than shortly after midnight. There were no refreshments served, with the exception of water. This was not acceptable for this flight. Thankfully my daughter and I were able to have something to eat shortly prior to boarding.
The flight was alright however, the seats did not recline making this 5 hour flight uncomfortable for me. The flight attendants were very nice. The flight itself was very smooth with only a few ripples. It was delayed in leaving but not by much.
Poor customer service. Do not print my ticket on the check in (airport).
Unprofessional in every manner
On time
Normal
They make you pay for everything:- hand carriage, seat, check-in and don't even offer you a cup of water! It turnout much more expensive than AC !
I didn’t like It at all cause of delays and cancellations last minutes? No entertainment not even charging points in plane ..and I noticed when one flight landed from flair’s air plane the reuse that plane which is fine but no safety protection no sanitary nothing .
Flight was late
Brand spanking new planes and amazing crews.
Pros: cabin crew was friendly enough
Cons: The flight was delayed over an hour on the tarmac because an engine wouldn't start!
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!
Quick last minute
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.
Next time I will fly another airline.
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.
Spent 2 hours attempting to check in online and phone. No luck

Flight was operated by Flair Air.
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.
Newleaf cancelled my return flight so had to cance
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
Maiden flight
Pros: Everything about Newleaf was awesome.

Beginning scheduled flights in 2017, Flair Airlines is a budget carrier that operates predominantly domestic flights across Canada. International flights to the United States are also offered on a seasonal basis. The carrier is able to provide budget-friendly travel to customers by linking less frequented destinations across Canada with limited onboard amenities. Ideal for vacation hoppers, flight schedules are adjusted to fit demand and reach some of Canada’s more isolated destinations.
The majority of the fleet is based at their hub in Edmonton, but there is also a secondary hub in Winnipeg. Flair Airlines has exclusively used the Boeing 737 family of jets since opening flights to the public. The arrangement of their cabins allows for upwards of 150 passengers per flight. In 2019 the company introduced a new design for their planes, with light green featuring on the engines and the underbelly.
All customers are seated within Economy, meaning there is no class separation or beneficial cabin. Priority seating is available as an added extra, allowing speedier boarding and seat selection. Exit row seats at the front and the middle of the cabin offer the most legroom. A carry-on bag measuring 6 in x 13 in x 17 in and weighing up to 15 lb is permitted regardless of whether you upgrade and pay for a checked bag, and must be stored underneath the seat in front. As overhead cabin baggage is not provided complimentarily, the boarding and deplaning processes are simplified.
Flair Airlines operates a number of non-stop flights that other carriers don’t, making it a fantastic choice for passengers aiming to minimize their time in the air.
