At some point crew decided she should not fly to LA, but the ladies wouldn’t get off plane! 45 minutes later and 4 RCMP show up to escort them off plane. Then we didn’t have any ground crew to get us off loading ramp. Finally got away 90 minutes or more after scheduled departure. Circled LA a few times before getting to land.... long flight with long delays!"
Pros: "Had a fantastic experience on my first round trip with WestJet. Very satisfied, would definitely fly them again. I also liked how we were able to clear Customers BEFORE we departed from YVR; made the arrival that much smoother when we landed at SFO"

Pros: "Really a pretty good trip in my opinion."
Cons: "Not too thrilled with the fact that only a couple of drinks and light snacks are free."
Cons: "Their check in was not a boarding pass which prevented me from using Quick Connect from Immigration. So I reached the terminal counter art the FAR end of the terminal with 15 minutes to apare. The agent told me that wss not enouhh time to make the flight. I had to wait almost 4 houts for the last flight if the night to get there"

Pros: "The ticket price was great. The crew were nice."
Cons: "There is no monitor in front of you/in-plane, so bring your own tablet"
Pros: "Our flight from Australia was delayed, resulting in our missing our connecting Westjet flight. Not only did Westjet get us on the next available flight, but the staff were friendly and very helpful. They made it seem like it was no problem at all, even though we were on the cheapest fare."

Cons: "We had to put our carry on bags a little far away from our seats"

Cons: "Ground crew couldn’t get luggage on plane fast enough because of lack of staff so we sat on tarmac for 2 hours."
Pros: "The crew tried their best. The seats were average. The food ok."
Cons: "The entertainment is awful to non-existent. The wifi doesn't work especially on a laptop. On the return flight is wasn't even enabled. Four to five hours without ANY entertainment is totally unacceptable especially with teens and kids!! The 20 schedule changes and very confusing schedule (they showed us on 2 separate flights from DTW on Dec 25th morning). I have no idea how that would happen. The gate agent at Delta (first leg) had a hell of a time sorting it out despite a long call to the WJ help desk."
Pros: "The crew were friendly and professional; the flight was safe--by far the top priority!"
Cons: "The plane needed a jump start before we could leave Vancouver (this was during daytime, sunny skies, about +1°C), which didn't inspire confidence in the plane's airworthiness and which delayed our departure by almost an hour. But evidently the crew followed the required procedure and we arrived safely in Calgary. Better to be a bit late than to have an unsafe flight."
Pros: "Flight crew was excellent. Very attentive to passenger needs and requests."
Cons: "Food choices were limited and they ran out of basic choice. Had very limited wine from menu - should really restock before a long flight like YVR to KOA."
Cons: "Generally announcemect is too fast and not clear, especially the boarding anouncement regarding the order of boarding is not clear. Please be more considerate for the aged and hard of hearing, infrequent traveller."
Pros: "Flight was good, crew was courteous and boarded on time. Cabin space was adequate and the entertainment provided through WestJet’s app is very good."
Cons: "We left late and had a very hard landing"

Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Delay"
Pros: "Not cold, not noisy aircraft"
Pros: "Short flight. Home on time."
Cons: "To the best of my knowledge I paid for a window seat on my trip to Montreal. It was the only option I elected to pay for, yet, I found myself in the middle seat. A personal life lesson we’ll learned and an experience to be remembered & considered, under advisement, on any future bookings."
Pros: "The person giving the announcements was HILARIOUS. Made listening to the usual safety info much more fun."
Cons: "The French on the flight was a little wonky in that it kind of came in in chunks instead of one flowy message like it did in english"
Pros: "Friendly, polite crew. Well organized boarding"
Pros: "The crew on the ground and in the air were great and the only positive part of my experience."
Cons: "I was put into the long line to check my luggage with 75 minutes to take off. Of course I missed my direct flight as I was put into a long line. The man who listened to me complain was very kind and empathetic and the only good part about being forced to miss my flight. "We stop loading X amount of minutes before take off" I can't remember the exact number but there was ten minutes to spare before said time when they stopped loading. Dealt with it. Not happy but at least my luggage wasn't lost. Will I fly with WestJet again? Probably. Will I expect some sort of hang up and/or inconvenience? Definitely."
Pros: "La experiencia en general fue buena"
Cons: "El sistema de facturación. Me dijo la aerolínea que Kayak pago con moneda rusa, entonces no podrían entregar un comprobante fiscal (CFDI)"
Pros: "This is what an airline should be like in the US - 1 bag checked without fees, food - snacks and light meal (even on short flights), LEG ROOM, reasonable airfares. Thankfully I live near a Canadian airport. Greedy US airlines with its no-service-unless-you-pay could take a lesson."

Cons: "Please let me know what can we do.. Is there any kind of compensation we are entitled to after going through all this..."
Cons: "I got singled out by a staff member to request me to check my bag while the passenger behind me had a bigger carry on bag. My other 2 friends had carry on backpacks about the same size as well but they didn't get stopped. I didn't know why I got picked on."

Very poor service."
Pros: "Seat was good."
Cons: "No snack. No food offered during the flight. Only juice and water offered during more than 5 hours of the business class flight. Strange smell continued during the flight. The simplest service in my experiences of Business class flights in the world."
Pros: "We missed our flight to Bogota because Immigration was so understaffed. They were warned by Aero Mexico the day prior but chose to do nothing. Now we are having to pay for a second hotel and second flight from BOGOTA to Barranquilla. There are a lot of very angry and disappointed travelers today. We have been offered nothing and received nothing. And we loose another day of Carnivale. I won't be flying through Mexico city anytime soon. Kerry Greenlees"

Pros: "The lights went out so you could sleep"
Cons: "The check In process took an hour for no reason. I can only assume the staff were new because everyone who went on strike recently got fired or quit. That or they were on permanent siesta because the line ups weren’t even long. They were just slow, lazy and lacked knowledge."
Pros: "Punctuality"
Pros: "On time,,sorta"
Cons: "I paid $30usd for my sister and I to have priority boarding and more spacious seats. We were boarded in zone 3 and had the same seats as the rest of economy. I contacted aeromexico for a refund and was told to email my complaint to 2 separate email addresses for a refund. I did as instructed and but did not receive a reply.

Pros: "liked the seat and the space. a blanket provided without asking"
Pros: "Good entertainment Good crew"
Cons: "They should not advertise hot breakfast, I was not able to tell what they served,wether it was cereal or scrambled eggs,green leaf substance was not edible. Coffee was cool coloured water.

Cons: "La aerolinea nondeja documentar ni una maleta en viaje internacionaybesones fuera de lanley ybdijeron q estan amparadoos a esa ley"
Pros: "Nada"
Cons: "Los aviones son viejos, el sistema de entrada a México es muy desorganizado y tardas mas de dos horas para pasar por el proceso, si estas con conexión necesitas una escala de 3 hs como mínimo. Si bien esto no depende de Aeromexico no hacen nada para agilizar el paso de la gente que tiene una conexión."
Pros: "Service from the crew was excellent, they were very respectful and happy to help, also entertainment was great!"
Cons: "Food: Serving amount was ok, food was tasty but it's like Aeromexico is missing those little details that make a difference: salt and pepper mini bags, a dressing for the salad, and butter or cream chesse for the bread. Also a small chocolate or candy would be fine just to make the experience even better"
Pros: "Good!"
Cons: "Gate assignment was not released until 15 minutes before flight. Flight was delayed one hour. Then it was delayed on run way 45 minutes."
Cons: "luggage delivery took more than 40 mins."
Pros: "Nothing. It was terrible."

Cons: "flight was delayed. attendants were unfriendly."
Pros: "Overall. I loved everything but the food"
Cons: "The food.....they should give regular sandwich bread instead of the one they are giving now. Its sweet and does not taste good with ham and cheese. Also, the yogurt was plain. They should have different flavors. I know that most of the passengers did not eat it and threw it way. It's a waste of money."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Awful, no outlets at the airplane, food aweful( croissoints with apple sauce!!) no entertainment, and delayed for hours!!!"
Cons: "We purchased return fares from YVR to Mazatlan, we had something unexpected happen and had to return home at an earlier date than the time we were booked for.

Pros: "The flight was smooth and on time."
Cons: "Economy is a little cramped but it was ok and as expected."
Pros: "Very clean, on time, friendly, snacks on flight, pleasant all around."
Cons: "Atlanta’s global entry is terrible. It took nearly as long to get thru immigration and customs as my flight from Merida, Mx to Atlanta. Not at all helpful for those with connecting flights less than 3 hour layover. For an airport that serves over 100,000,000 annual customers, Atlanta has a lot of work to do, and they need more restaurants for all those travelers."
Pros: "Friendly staff"
Pros: "The plane was clean and confortable.."
Cons: "I think everyone is nice so nothing bad."
Pros: "The crew was nice"
Cons: "The Delta flight from Birmingham-ATL was excellent as always. But the Aeromexico flight from ATL to Querétaro was not comfortable. Several passengers including me complain that the temperature in the cabin was extremely warm. If I would guess I would say close to 80 F. When we talk to the fligh attendant she fixed and for a few minutes was cool and comfortable but then again went back to super warm. It was so warm that a couple of members of my family started feeling sick."

Pros: "Nice short flight"
Cons: "Would not allow headphones (off) during takeoff and landing"
Pros: "personnel was very polite"
Cons: "My connecting flight to Mexico City was delayed and I missed my flight to Leon. Instead of charging a fee to re-book the flight I had to pay for two new one way tickets at a cost of $600! The late evening flight was almost empty, so I felt ripped off. In 30 years of airline travel I've always felt that the airline tried to work with me in re-booking. In this case I felt that Aeromexico took advantage of me. I will avoid using Aeromexico when possible because of this incident."
Cons: "The flight was late and was never communicated to us."
Cons: "POS airline"
Cons: "Tube un retraso en mis vuelos y conexión de merida a hermosillo a causa de una sobrecargo. En atención al cliente fue pésima nos contestaron de mala manera y no nos dieron la información correspondiente ni de la manera indicada. Fueron groseras."
Cons: "I will never fly with this airline again. I missed my original flight so they cancelled all of my flights without my permission and resold my seats. Talk about making an easy $2k without doing absolutely nothing. I paid for another flight to get to Mexico to fly to el salvador when they told me that they cancelled everything. Now I am stranded in Mexico on Christmas and they don't care."
Pros: "Three emails notifying us of departure time change"
Cons: "First two emails delayed the flight an hour each. Then the third email moved the flight time back to the original time even though our boarding pass showed the 2 hour delay! We arrived just at the gate just as they were closing the door."
Pros: "Absolutely nothing! Will never fly again with them!"
Cons: "Too long to write! Everything"
Cons: "Please clean the airplanes Please be on time Please inform passengers better about change in gates"
Pros: "They provided me with meal vouchers, hotel, a travel voucher worth 200 us dollars and a seat on morning flight"
Cons: "My baggage was supposed to have been taken off the flight but baggage claim said it went to more liability and I should get it in the morning. The hotel for the vouche, holiday inn dali, had nice room but the auustics were terrible and I heard noise from downstairs party 7ntil midnight so got little sleep since have to catch 5am shuttle to airport."
Pros: "Again, having to pay $25 more because they made us check in a bag (see my review going over there, just submitted)."
Cons: "Had to go through customs and that is expected, but going through security again was absurd."
Cons: "Kyack screwed up the name on ticket the airline made us purchase another ticket"
Pros: "Nice boarding very quick"
Cons: "No space.."
Pros: "The availability of the flight"
Cons: "The cost was prohibitively high for even a last minute internal flight. I believe that Aeromexico has lost sight of its clientele."
Cons: "Aeroméxico double charged me for my bags even though it was a connection. They refused to let me get my bags into the plane without paying for them again. They would not listen when I said I had paid for my bags at my original destination and even showed them the receipt."
Pros: "Got me home"
Cons: "There was a delay and when I asked if our connecting flight would be ok, the crew seemed to dismiss my question."
Cons: "Me parece muy mal que dejen maletas sin saber la importancia de quienes viajamos tener las cosas allí. Tenía medicamento que no puedo dejar de tomar y cosas de valor que espero vengan completas. Pésimo servicio de aeromexico"

Pros: "Easy flight and on time in spite of heavy Holliday traffic."

Pros: "Crew was helpful, both in the air and on the ground"
Cons: "Wasn’t able to do my pre-check via the airline due to a technical glitch on their end, but boarding staff was very helpful and should be commended. Their also wasn’t any inflight entertainment options, which for a 4 plus hour flight would be helpful"

Pros: "On time flights"

Cons: "Slow with drinks and food, late departure"
Cons: "The WiFi for the personal entertainment system wasn’t working properly"
Cons: "They need to learn from asian airlines (specifically Thai Airways)"
Cons: "A mechanic issue with a fan in the cargo hold kept us from boarding for 40 minutes. Once we boarded and got out onto the tarmack they discovered an issue with the GPS. We sat for 2 hours before going back to the gate. Maintenance came on and fixed it. Then we took off.. 3 hours late"
Pros: "Crew was friendly, helpful and very competent. Flight arrived early. Regular notification/reminder via SMS on flight status. Comfortable seats, generous seat pitch."
Cons: "For a three-hour international flight, and at that ticket price, substantial snacks should be complimentary. In Asia, flights of three hours or more on legacy carriers have proper inflight food. Low cost carriers sell food; but UA is not LCC."
Cons: "Plane had no entertainment"
Cons: "Faster boarding"
Pros: "The flight was comfortable enough, and the staff were friendly."
Cons: "As usual with planes coming from SFO, this one was late."

Pros: "Crew was cheerful."
Cons: "Bring your own everything, even your own entertainment. Download the app before you fly so you can watch 20 year old movies."
Cons: "This flight and three others arrive into Dublin at 5:00 am This is a bizarre time to arrive at a destination"
Pros: "I LIKED THE WAY I WAS TREATED BY PERSONNEL AT FLIGHT DEPARTURE ZONES ESPECIALLY IN VANCOUVER AND CHICAGO. WHEN BOARDING THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WERE POLITE AND HELPFUL IN GETTING MY CARRY ON SUITCASE PROPERLY STOWED."

Cons: "Unassigned seating from the beginning of the trip made the trip arduous."
Cons: "Very late"
Cons: "I didn't like buying a ticket for a flight with an ANA number and advertised as ANA but then flying United. I don't want to fly united."

It would be revolutionary if one airline valued their guests and showed it! Instead of cattle they manage and transport"
Pros: "It was a sparsely populated flight, I was able to lay down and sleep, very nice!"
Cons: "No problems, al was fine and I slept very well. No complaints!"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "-Jolene at the United check in at the Vancouver airport loves to discriminate -No WiFi on a 5+ hour flight -Old clunky planes -Poor service overall -Noticed employees using their phones constantly instead of helping paying Customers"
Cons: "Unfortunately the first leg of our flight was delayed over an hour. Although we made our connecting flight (barely), our luggage didn't make it onto the plane. It was OK since it was our return flight and we received our luggage later the next day."
Cons: "I don't like delays..."
Cons: "I don't understand why you don't load from the back of the plane first, it just makes more sense."
Cons: "I am young but I am in heart failure and have an artificial heart. I had requested wheelchair service so I didn't overexert myself at the airport and was wheeled right up to the gate. There were two other older passengers in wheelchairs, one on either side of me. When it came time to pre-board flight attendants came up to both men and helped them on board. They ignored me. Then they announced regular boarding. I had to remove my bags from my lap and get up out of the chair and go to the gate to say I needed to preboard. The man looked annoyd and said they had announced it. When I explained how no one came to me but they did the others he said I could go now. I said I needed help with my bags and he acted VERY surly and put out. He did help me but I felt like they assumed because I was young I couldn't possibly be sick and treated me like a liar."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Awful service,"
Pros: "It really was great. On time, crew was helpful and friendly"
Pros: "On time, friendly crew, bags got through timely"
Cons: "Nothing in particular."
Pros: "The cabin was clean and the staff was polite."
Cons: "The food that was supplied was meager!. When you fly half way across the United States and get 2 cups of a soft drink, no peanuts or chips; that is terrible."
Cons: "I arrived at YVR to check in for my flight at 4 pm. I was told they couldn't find me In the system anywhere and when they finally did find me they told me they had booked my seat onto another flight that didn't leave u til 6 pm and I would arrive home in San Diego at 10:40 pm. They refused to check my luggage because they said I had arrived too early. I wasn't too early for my originally scheduled flight! I now had to sit in the airport for 5 hours. I had to call home, arrange a sitter for my children whom I was suppose to see at 8:55 pm. They said there was nothing they could do about it."
Pros: "Nothing much"
Cons: "Your refund or rescheduling policies."
Pros: "Was quick enough and on time."
Cons: "Please start charging obese customers more money for their tickets. Seat I was in had me squished because the other passenger was so big. Its not fair that I have to give up half of my seat."
Cons: "there was no in-flight entertainment."
Cons: "Purchased tickets 4 months before this flight for a departure time of 6:05pm. Tried to check in and check baggage at 9:30am but was turned away saying I could only check in 3 hrs prior to my flight. Came back at 3:00pm to check-in and they could not find my information. An hour later they find out that they cancelled the flight and moved my departure time to 8:25am for that day. They say they emailed 3 times in May but I never got it (I'm a bit crazy about my email staying clean) so they say it might have went in to my spam folder due to they types of emails they send to customers. They only kept repeating that they notified me so there is nothing they could do. I ended up going to Air Canada to get a flight to PHX the next day. No apology, no help, no hotel for the night...Terrible experience by United. They gave me a customer relations group contact information to follow up with for complaint but since they sent me the 3 emails in May about the change, they have no liability to fix the situation."
Pros: "Great flight with no issues or any problems. Flight on time, luggage transfer was fine, crew pleasant and helpful. Smooth sailing."
Cons: "We don't take advantage of entertainment on board."
Pros: "The flight attendants were really courteous and friendly."
Cons: "There was not anything that I did not like"
Pros: "Headphone slot. Free wifi"
Cons: "Tight seats in coach..expected"
Cons: "For an international flight, we had to pay for meals and for entertainment."
Pros: "All good"
Cons: "Didn't fly this leg on United, but rather on Air Canada."
Pros: "Gate Crew in YVR was very courteous"
Cons: "Deadheading pilots throwing large carry on in front rows but sitting in back rows. Really guys?"
Pros: "The plane was clean, left on time and arrived early. Expecting that there were too many carry on bags, they offered to check some bags at the gate for no additional cost."
Cons: "The snacks were a waste of time. The charge for the entertainment system is based on the published flying time but since those are overstated to improve on time performance, the entertainment charge was excessive."
