Flight didn’t happen because both my connections were lost and Toronto wouldn’t let me board. I was checked in to all 3 flights at the check-in fest in Dublin.
Very short flight. No food or entertainment required. Nice crew. Flight left late.
8 hrs. Of waiting instead of couple of hours..the only good thing I'm still able to go to my destination...
When I purchased the flights I included the luggage, the luggage was not added and got charged the full price anyway. Had to pay for the luggage at check in. Initial flight was delayed, we missed our 9am connection (flew with my wife), then the airline rebooks us to the next flights, putting my wife in at 1.40pm and me at 4pm, what a crazy wait time. We managed to fix it with customer service and they put me in the 1:40pm flight too, but they left my baggage behind in the 4pm flight. When arrived to my destination, of course no luggage. It was delivered to the address thankfully late at night. The experience sucked.
First flight out in the morning is often the best chance of running on time. Not in this case, which unfortunately is now what passengers can expect as what is common. - If you are late for a flight, too bad for you. - If West Jet is late, too bad for you. - Bags don't make it? Too bad for you. - Flight change by 1+ days, too bad for you Prices continue to increase, while customer service nosedives. This is backwards and in any other develop country would be considered unacceptable - except for Canada. Too bad for us.
If I wanted to leave on a Monday I would have booked to leave on Monday. Instead, thanks the west jet i spent another night in a hotel on my dime because they don’t even have a number you can call that works. It’s just says due to the high call volume we can’t take your call, that’s it. Our a Canadian airline industry needs an overhaul.
The fight was delayed for 30 minutes. The Dash 8 Q400 was not my favourite plane it was very tight for space. Next time I fly with Westjet I will book a larger plane.
I have purposely avoided West Jet for our last four trips as our friends experienced unreasonable difficulties with receiving a refund during COVID. You didn't provide a flight for whatever reason, give people their money back. Do you want people to use your airline again? I grudgingly used WestJet this time as it was direct flights. I was pleasantly surprised. I had more space than I expected and the in flight entertainment was also not expected.
The whole process for us was easy and seamless. Nice crew, on time departure, easy flight, very little if any turbulence. There’s no entertainment on short haul flights however passengers were chatting to each other about their trip which was good to hear vs plugged in. Vegan options for purchase would be good. Overall a really good flight experience.
The flight was around one hour late, with no explanation, took 30 minutes or so for boarding, and when we landed in Vancouver the grounds crew was not prepared, which took another 30 minutes of waiting around. All around was very late for my arranged meeting time.
