Typical Canadian airline experience. Charger and tray were broken, food was poor quality, and yet you're still paying more than flights with equal to better service than elsewhere globally.

Typical Canadian airline experience. Charger and tray were broken, food was poor quality, and yet you're still paying more than flights with equal to better service than elsewhere globally.

Not enough food option. And not enough advices or information about what we are gonna eat.

my carry-on bag was delayed and I did not receive it until the day of my return at the airport. This delay caused me significant inconvenience, as I did not have access to my personal belongings for the duration of my trip. I had expected to rely on my carry-on items, and being without them negatively impacted my travel experience.

Technology issues at the bag-check counter caused a delay, and we were unable to check out our bags, ultimately missing our flight. They offered no assistance other than telling us to book another flight out of Calgary. We arrived with plenty of time; if there hadn't been an issue with the kiosk and the length of the lines due to the technical issues, we could have made it home.

Worst check in and bag drop off experience. Staff were incredibly rude given that it’s the WestJet system that is faulty.

The staff at the airport and on the plane were wonderful I especially wanna acknowledge the staff who boarded us at the Calgary airport. The women who helped us board at the airport were incredible… they were so kind and sweet…I very happy with WestJet and I am hoping I can fly more often to Canada.

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

From vancouver go calgary nd vice vetsa fligjt was delayed

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

Staff was nice, helpful, and did all they could. I understand economy seats are bottom of the barrel, but we're crammed in there with others in our row.
