Made a lot of customers check in their bags at the gate. But the cabin space was half empty and all luggage would have fit. Doesn’t make sense.
Pros: "NA"
Cons: "We paid for transportation to cancun and it didn’t happen. We hope there will be compensation for the lost day. So disappointing."
Cons: "no food available to be purchased. we left almost 2 hours later than scheduled and were very hungry."
Pros: "Legroom and entertainment (using own tablet) both very good."
Cons: "The plane was so cold that despite wearing jeans, a shirt, a sweatshirt and a jacket I was barely comfortable. Explanation from crew? Well, it was very hot in Phoenix so we had the AC jacked up. But at 35,000 feet that's no longer a problem, right? Neither is is necessary in 68-degree F Calgary."
Pros: "Easy boarding/ on time!"
Cons: "More drink options/ vegan food options"
Pros: "The crew was polite, even with the numerous delays. Other than that, the multiple delays (3; 8:30 -> 11:30, 11:30 -> 13:05, 13:05 -> 15:30) rubbed me the wrong way and lessened my experience with West Jet. Kayak was very responsive and reliable on their end."
Cons: "West Jet; the delays which took around 6 hours from my weekend trip."
Pros: "Crew was great, served us multiple times ! Even tho crew was late 25 mins. We have landed 10 mins early"
Pros: "Our stewardess was amazing. Took very good care of us. My son was sick and made sure a wheelchair was available for him total take us to transportation. Made our trip. Thank you!!"
Cons: "All was good"
Cons: "I would expect that with a 5 and half fight that some sort of food besides ti terrible cookies and pretzel would've been offered!! A very long time to go without food!!!"
Pros: "The Crew was great"
Cons: "Let my golf clubs fly at no charge. Seat update at check in at no charge."
Pros: "Always great people st Westjet! Flown with other airline providers, they dont give what Westjet does. Great service everytime!!"
Cons: "Aisle seat in the last row...what a miserable experience. Unpleasant smell whenever someone does a number two in the lavatory. People hovering over you as they wait to use the lavatory, and constantly bumping into you as they walk by (an unfortunate consequence of the obesity epidemic). The area where parents bring their babies to cry. Seat does not recline so no relief on my back. Seat in front reclines so even less space for me. One of the last to leave the plane...particulary slow on my trip as suggested by the comments made by flight attendants."
Cons: "There wasn't any food to purchase other than a few snacks. That's just not good enough for a 6 hour flight, Really poor."
Pros: "Crew very kind and smily. Very punctual."
Cons: "Prices ridiculous, one coors light 7dollars and with 7 dollars you buy 12 coors light in Mexico!!!. Food really bad and prices worse. No entertainment."
Pros: "Amazing Service at the registering counter at the airport. One for the two flight attendants was very nice. Unfortunately, he was not the one assigned to my section."
Cons: "One of the flight attendants was incredibly dismissive. “Forgot” to ask for my order to get lunch, so needed to call him so he could take my order (he was already in the middle of eating his own food) and of course by then what I asked for was not available, and the options for food were bad. On top of that, the trash from the top of my table was not cleared for a long, long, long time (even though everyone else’s in my section were clean). First time this happens to me in all my years of flying, specially in upper economy class."
Pros: "En tiempo y algo cómodo"
Cons: "Que no hay aperitivos para ser un vuelo internacional de 4 horas."
Cons: "flights was delayed but for understandable reason. Medical emergency. Can't rate food. None reminded."
Pros: "As it was a red eye flight, we didn’t utilize the food options. My answer is better identified as ‘n/a’."
Cons: "I was in row 2 and they did not have the food item I wanted. Seriously?"
Pros: "The service of the crew was fantastic."
Cons: "No food included just water and Coke."
Pros: "Too much fog so plane could not land. Had to rebook out of Toronto for the late afternoon. Crew was very accommodating with my reschedule."
Cons: "Nothing to like. Never got on the plane. Not Westjet’s fault. They can’t control tye weather."
Cons: "i know i am tall and above avg wt. but not enough leg room for anyone over five foot six inches."
Pros: "Staff"
Cons: "Paid good money for this flight to Cancun, no wifi, and no movies etc... This is unacceptable and I'm very disappointed as a long time WestJet flyer"
Cons: "The crew on the plain was extremely rude!!! Very very dissapointed!"
Pros: "Great service and atmosphere! The crew was so helpful!"
Cons: "I wish you could make the seat space bigger..."
Cons: "Friendly. And a nice quick/smooth flight."
Cons: "We waited almost an hour to get our luggage"
Pros: "WestJet has very good hard shell seats on the 737-800. These are well contoured and padded, and far enough apart to offer decent legroom (row 8). The seating experience was vastly better than being in a “preferred” bulkhead row on an AC Rouge B767-300. Boarding was efficient so we were able to leave the gate slightly early."
Cons: "Pre-purchased meals are delivered with the first service after take off, which was awkwardly early on a five hour flight that departed at 3 pm."
Pros: "Liked the convenience of flying so close from home the crew was amazing dealing with a difficult lady. And the girl I sat beside is now my friend. Woohoo"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Flight was cancelled due to lack of pilots."
Pros: "Boarding was quick and the staff as very friendly. The pilot was hilarious."
Cons: "uncomfortable seat- no padding"
Pros: "It is inconvenient to disrupt your plans with such delays"
Cons: "It is inconvenient to disrupt your plans with such delays"
Pros: "Boarding was a breeze and we arrived in Cancun early which was great."
Cons: "The cabin was freezing. I fly often and I always pack a sweater and a blanket but even that couldn’t keep me warm because the cabin was so cold Also, my meal that I purchased on the flight was frozen all the way through. It was literally like biting into a popsicle. My teeth hurt for the rest of the flight after just one bite. I asked for another sandwich which took a while because they were busy with other passengers. My replacement sandwich felt just as cold but it wasn’t frozen solid like the first one. It seems like a minor inconvenience but it became quite frustrating."
Pros: "Staff are friendly"
Cons: "The on board menu only caters to rabbits and squirrels. I get some people like to eat that way but what about the other 80 percent of the population????"
Pros: "Cabin Crew were nice"
Cons: "Very tight seating."
Pros: "A short haul flight"
Cons: "No issues"
Pros: "I needed assistance for my father and West jet went above and beyond in their service. Made an ol man very happy and gave him the ease of traveling alone."
Pros: "I like that I got the plus seat for no extra charge."
Pros: "I really appreciated the leg room that we had on all our flights. The seating was most comfortable. Staff most friendly."
Pros: "Full disclosure, I did not partake in food or entertainment. But I had no issues. The staff was polite, I got on the plane, I got off the plane, end of story."
Cons: "The seats are to small, but that is every economy section that I fly on these days."
Pros: "The flight over all was good. Service, and delivery of the expectations were good. Even though the items listed in the dislike are 3 in number, and added to an uncomfortable experience, some of them are identifiable as beyond control, yet others are within the control of system set up or process."
Cons: "small items that I didn't like were : 1) Temperature, and 2) wifi 3) waiting for electrical. 1) Temperature: When boarding the plane the Temperature of the cabin was extremely warm. The pilot advised of the condition, this was not something that could have been fixed and I think they handled it well. I just didn't like the 90+ temperature 2) Wifi: was intermittent, I ensured the Westjet app was the only one running, but the movie I was watching was pausing every 15 minutes to buffer. So it was a constant reminder of dial up.... 3) waiting for electrical: Upon landing and taxi-ing to the ramp, the pilot was advised that there was no electrical to support the plane after he turned off the engines. So good that he waited, thank you pilot, and not so good as it was another unpleasant item on the plane ride."
Pros: "The crew so nice and helpful"
Cons: "Flight was delayed and took another 45 min to leave once boarding was complete"
Flew from Kitchener to Wpg. Everything from booking to boarding to departure went smoothly. We even arrived early!
First off, It’s a budget airline so adjust your expectations. They boarded efficiently and pushed off the gate on time. Arrivals to the destination was slightly delayed due to headwinds but nothing major. Service by flight cabin crew was good. Cabin is a bit aged but maintained. Seats are comfortable enough all things considered. I would fly with flair again.
This is my second Flair flight. On time departure and early arrival on both trips. Boarding moved quickly compared to my experience on other airlines. I like the reminders throughout eg. Gate email, checkin reminders etc. Clear announcements. I am pleasantly surprised. Keep it up. Excellent pricing, e Even last day or two. Unlike excessive high prices closer to trips. Long walk to terminal, though lots of moving stairs and escalators/elevators. Nothing to add that would not cost more.
Service was terrible and the flight was 4 hours delayed with out any compensation
No cofee or minimum refreshments
Flight was Scheduled for 4:25PM ET but didn't leave until 8PM ET. Terrible!
I wish this and other airlines would board you by row, starting at the back. This was just the free for all approach. Cabin crew were really really nice and also efficient. Captain kept us updated as needed.
Very spacious. There was no food or entertainment. You could offer at least a soft drink to passengers. It's a long flight.
Checking on line didn’t work
The flight and attendants were very good however if I may suggest that the lead attendant who speaks on the intercom, speaks a bit slower She was talking so fast you could hardly understand what she was saying
System had messed up and people who had purchased specific seats had been placed randomly around the plane. ie. I didnt get the seat I payed for
Flight was on time. Staff were good. The seats did not recline so was very tight. Had to pay for water!
You could not cancel flights, that would be fantastic
I didn’t like that our flight was changed by a full day which left us scrambling for a motel room for 6 people at our own expense when I asked Flair they said because we gave you 24 hours notice we would not be reimbursed
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!!
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
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 .
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!"
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."
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."

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."
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"
Pros: "Everything about Newleaf was awesome."
