C$ 594 Find Cheap Flights from St. John's to the United Kingdom – Compare and Save

I think I'd sum up my experiences on this flight (Edinburgh to Toronto) by saying that Boeing 737s are simply too small for long-haul, transatlantic flights. The crew were excellent, the food was pretty good and the in-flight Wifi was a bonus. But 7+ hours on a narrow bodied aircraft with a single aisle and no in-built entertainment system, is a tough stretch - queues for the few toilets on board were lengthy at times; plus whilst the crew were doing food/drink service the aisle is blocked. It encourages you to stay in your seat the entire time (not great for those who need to get up and move around regularly) and the legroom is tight anyway. If this was priced as uber-budget, you could perhaps argue that you're getting what you paid for......but it wasn't and the price we paid was pretty standard for such trips (around £500 pp). I'd therefore urge caution and check the aircraft that is being used if booking with Westjet for flights to Canada from smaller regional airports on the Western edge of Europe. They do operate Boeing 787s from London and other major European centres - but it seems that if travelling from Scotland/Ireland the 737 is the aircraft of choice.......

Switching flights in Halifax was a nightmare. There was no agent waiting us when we disembarked to provide my mom with gate to gate assistance as we arranged. Our flight was delayed so our window to catch the other flight was very tight. The airport was poorly marked as to where to go. The plane was fairly crowded and space available was cramped.

Flight was delayed for 5hours. Food vouchers just aren’t good enough

It was disappointing to see the huge number of people who were allowed to board who were claiming to either be disabled or needed extra time to board who practically ran to the gate as soon as boarding opened. One of the female flight attendants in the premium economy section refused to let a lady with an infant use the toilet next to row 9 to change her baby even though the path back to the rear toilets was blocked by staff and trolleys and said she would have to carry the baby to the toilet during the descent phase when turbulence was present. The passenger refused and the baby had to wait until landing. It would have been no problem to allow this infringement of weathers petty rules. The flight was also very cold due to a cold draft throughout the flight from the bulkhead ceiling which was not controllable.

While I appreciated the food (it was unexpected), it was interruptive for sleeping. We paid extra for reserved seats, but when we checked in they gave us different seats. I had to call WestJet arounf 11:30pm the night before our flight to get this fixed. We were give seats in the emengency row to resolve the issue.

In spite of purchasing premium, I felt it was perhaps the most uncomfortable seat I have flown in. The base was either broken or poorly made and had no support. Even placing pillows and blankets on the seat (1D aisle) didn’t help. It made for a long and mostly sleepless six hour flight. Crew also were very loudly talking to each other through the night making it very hard to sleep. It was purchased for the price, so I get the risk, but was not impressed.

I like the leg room in the exit isle..easier to get past people and I did t have to pay extra! Westjet changed my return flight time to a night flight 2 weeks before I left and left me hanging with NO HELP to resolve all the frustration they caused since I booked thru BudgetAir. They receive the lowest of star ratings I can give (if there was negative stars I’d be using those) for customer support and an overall bad score for the rest of the experience! So sad cause they used to good :)

Better boarding process, but not the fault of the airline… people are dumb.

It was a swoop flight at a west jetfare… the plane was literally a swoop branded plane.. I pay extra to NOT fly the budget carriers like swoop and flair so needless to say I was annoyed when both my outgoing and return flight were on swoop planes.

Both flights we boarded and had to wait 1 hr/45 m respectively before leaving the gate. This was over and above normal times. Seats and space not comfortable.

Mutiple delays and changes of gate resulting in arrival 5 hours after intended.

It was great other than the plane was really small

The crew members were great. The flight was awesome. But I had trouble getting to any of the movies. I tried over and over. The free wifi though is a bonus which I appreciated. Re comfort I am not telling you anything you don’t know. There is nothing comfortable about air travel any longer. As someone with a back issue I am usually squirming about two hours into any flight. But safety matters most of all to me and I do feel safe with air Canada.

Had to cancel flight due to strike. Hope things will be better next August when we will rebook. Very disappointing as it was our 50th wedding anniversary celebration l!

Crew were friendly and efficient. Love the hot towel service!

No possibility to get a refund or rebooking because of illness.

My flight cancelled 3 time and rebooked. It was unexpected for me. Otherwise everything is perfect.

I supposed to have a wheel chair waiting to take me to the luggage carousel. Didn’t happen so I had to walk up the walkway with my cane. I lost my balance and broke my little toe on my right foot, which means that I’m hobbling around with a very painful left leg and a very painful toe on my right foot. It was a nightmare.

It was a very pleasant trip from A to Z.

Every leg of my trip with Air Canada was delayed Never offered as much as a small bag of pretzels on. 3 hour trip Printing boarding passes at the airport when told to bring printed boarding passes with you Unable to load passes into my apple wallet- so very easy with other airlines
