Average at best. Typical of WestJet these days. Crew far from friendly.

The flight attendants could have been mote professional, talking about other people's life choices loudly and rudely. Delay to board which seems more and more standard with westjet.
The premium did not live up to expectations. The seats were tight and looked like there was no more room at the rear of the plane for seating then at the front of the plane. Instructions were not provided for entertainment. It was difficult to get the app. The app is not user-friendly. It requires too many inputs by the consumer to get to the correct page.
Premium class - the food could have been much better such as a veggie tray or fruit tray or cheese & crackers.
I paid Premium class. Given that it’s double the cost, my expectations are higher. I left the flight beyond hungry because they would not give me another dinner, though I know there were several left as we do not pre-order between the two entrees. After this flight I decided the extra cost isn’t worth it.
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.
Let people know if carry on is free when you are checking luggage
Your questions don’t quite make sense. There was no food service as far as I know. Short 2 hour flight. Nice crew. On time. Older plane that looks to be ready for a tuneup. Sagging, stretched pockets etc. No entertainment system, screens etc, which makes sense on a short flight. Seat etc at the low end of the comfort zone which I’m sure you already know. Totally okay for a short flight. Sure would not to take a longer flight in the plane though.
Only 2 bathrooms at rear of plane for about 30 rows of passengers. Ridiculous! Long lines passengers alway waiting. On long trip a full can of beverage rather than a little cup would be appreciated and expected.
Delayed by 4 hours. Missed connection back to UK. Ended up 24 hours late with an overnight delay. Westjet offered hotel accommodation but when we got to the hotel they said it was fully booked. Terrible experience
I booked through Kayak for the first time. Unfortunately I was charged in US dollars. Only after booking did I see the tiny American flag on your website. There should have been a larger icon with a notice that I am in Kayak’s US site. I am Canadian, am flying in Canada and was disappointed that Kayak did not recognize this.
I liked the plane, a Boeing 787. Having to buy food on a domestic flight (although now common on other airlines too) is an irritant.
After several delays, the flight was canceled. I was “lucky” and able to get rebooked on a flight that left two hours later. The flight itself was fine although I didn’t like my meal. Flight delays and cancellations are far too common on Air Canada.
Window button was broken and display on seat is not functioning properly
The trip from booking to execution was great! The plane from YVR to YYC had LCD panels for entertainment which was great, but the return flight from YYC to YVR did not have them. Oh well--it was a short flight. Food was a pretty minor "token" snack, but hey--it was a short flight. It could have been skipped entirely and I would have rated the flight well.
Obviously not on time, but that is redundant at this point. A plane without any form of power outlet, entertainment or comfort is maybe acceptable on a discount airline, maybe. At Air Canada this appears to be a vision statement. Also, somehow gate checked luggage can also be (as of now) lost. I’ll end it here, as this does not deserve the time, nothing changes.
Air Can strike caused us to have to buy another ticket. Then at the end, it was wasted monye, because strike did not happen.
Overall, the experience was good: both gate crews and air crew were friendly and efficient. The food - as always - leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of choice and quality, but I've had worse. I will say that the pilot's landing of the Airbus A321-200 in Vancouver was superb, i.e. no discernible "bump" when the aircraft touched down, just a "rumble" as the undercarriage started to roll. Beautiful!
Excellent and friendly service. Interesting snacks and free wine and beer are pluses.
It was only direct flight from YVR to YKA but has no entertainment or food service and was double price of Westjet. Air Canada is my last choice but in this case, they are the only option.
