We were given a complimentary seat upgrade which was so unexpected but so lovely!

Porter was excellent. Boarding was a breeze. The seats were a little uncomfortably but the overall trip was excellent.
Only packaged snacks were served. It was a flight at lunchtime and a hot meal would have been a great.
Reserve check-in was very slow compared to regular check-in. Internet was slow
Lavatories broke with an hour to go. At least we were on time.
Chaotic boarding, but mostly my issues are with Toronto airport
Flight delayed by half hour, causing rush to get to connecting flight in Toronto Pearson which doesn’t have good flow for managing immigration check and connections.
Service was amazing, and the plane was comfortable even for this long haul. But they could have more movies selections. But they were still a lot to choose from.
Due to mechanical problems it was delayed causing problems the actual flight. Was fune
Wish we had music during take off and landing like the last flight
Not having a screaming baby in my row the whole trip would have improved the experience.
Wasn’t able to purchase wifi for entertainment so the flight was long
West jet once again canceled the flight delaying my travel this is inexcusable they are not capable of running an airline
We booked a ticket with Budget Air and the receipt said economy. My older teen daughter is neurodivergent and took a carry on bag since the ticket said economy, but she didn't see that it said no bags on her boarding pass. She has low attention. She managed to fly from Prince George to Calgary. At Calgary, she was preparing to board her last flight and the women said you can't get on. She said you can't board unless you pay for those bags. She had a small backpack, purse and carry on suitcase. She said you have to pay $160 +. My daughter has trouble understanding. She said can you step out of line to think about what you want to do. Then she said we have to leave you'll have to catch another flight. She called me in tears. I asked her to pass the phone to the agent. She said the agent was refusing to take the phone and ignoring her. I finally calmed her down enough to politely ask the woman to take my credit card. I told the woman of my daughter's challenges and need for extra helps. All she did was lecture me on how we booked ultra basic and we should have checked. She took my number and charged my card. Then I heard her push the phone back to my daughter and tell her to get on. My poor daughter was scared and confused and had to fly in tears. No apologies.
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.
WestJet cancelled our flight back with very little notice. The options presented were poor...two other flights were offered but required overnight travel. We couldn't do that as my wife had to be at work on Thursday, the 15th, so we were able to book flights on United that got us home so that she could go to work. I am attempting to get a refund on the unused WestJet flights back from Vancouver. If you have any thoughts on how I can pursue this refund, I would appreciate it. We found that WestJet has a very bad reputation and I guess they proved it....
Flight was 1.5 hours late because the groceries for the flight did not arrive on time. Plane was new but basic low end seats. Very basic airline
West jet have lost my hold luggage and still haven’t contacted me.
Nothing could be better it was perfect!! Except for really bad turbulence going to Calgary from comox
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
Boarding was very orderly. People should be made aware of what food is being offered when booking is made
The staff were friendly and helpful. The beverages were good. I was on an overnight flight so it was really frustrating to find myself crammed into seats didn't even recline. Not only were they small and uncomfortable but then they didn't recline? Why was that taken away? And why was that not mentioned when I bought the ticket? I might have chosen a different flight and paid more if I knew that ahead of time.
Some help when I asked but everything was so confusing to figure out otherwise. More clarity to direct through procedures needed!
How slow the security process was and the fact that I had to do it twice - once in Victoria and again in Vancouver - even tho I didn't leave the airport
the flight was an hour late, which made us miss our connection to sacramento. we are having to spend the night in the vancouver airport and fly to san francisco instead. air canada says that since the late flight was caused by air traffic control and not a mechanical issue they won't pay for a hotel, so two senior citizens are going to have to sleep in the food court at vancouver airport tonight. NOT HAPPY!
I missed this flight because the previous flight was late.
Flight to return home from Toronto for Cleveland was canceled after sitting on the plane for a half hour. Had to de board the plane and rent a car to drive home, or else wait until they had us rescheduled for later the next day.
I wish Air Canada would allow economy standard passengers to select their own SEATS on flight when CHECK-IN Online as usual, with No Extra Prices Charge as the Past years.
It didn't happen! First it was delayed. I get to the airport in plenty of time, check in, go through security and then check the flight board and see the flight had been cancelled. I just checked in maybe 10 minutes ago. I looked for an Air Canada rep but couldn't find one, I called Air Canada and had to leave my phone number for a call back. I went back to security who told me to leave and go back to the check in counter. The rep confirmed the flight was cancelled and rebooked for the next day. No offer of a place to stay for the night or food vouchers. I had to ask for that. It's unfortunate because the flight to Victoria on Air Canada was fabulous!
Ad a customer it feels like I'm being constantly lied to and taken advantage of, this company truly doesn't care about service. They system is designed to maximize profit by add-ons n charges for everything, and the end result is a feeling where everyone you interact with is asking you to spare some extra money. I don't believe Air Canada is a an anti-consumer, monopolistic corporate entity. It's frustrating to not be given options to choose other competition. Especially with international flights, Air Canada should not be part of Star Alliance. I should be given the option to know what company I'm booking with before sending my payment, so that I can avoid Canadian businesses that I don't support.
