Great service on time
Crew was good. No TV’s on this plane.
Pre-boarding was very good. Easy to do. Flights were all good and on time.
Left on time, arrived on time. Great staff. Bathrooms needed to be cleaned more often.
Seat is spacious and crew is friendly.
Great flight!
Upcharging for preferred seat selection is another corperate moneygrab.
Entertainment and food
Sat on the tarmac for 1.5 hours after landing. The flight was OK, after that, not so much
Plane left on time. The service and food was excellent. No problem with the luggage arrived and was delivered within 15 minutes.
No entertainment- that was sad
I like the seating and schedule of west jet
person sitting behind me on flight to Calgary was vaping
The staff and crew at all points were warm and professional. The Westjet app was a plus.
They made my minor daughter leave the area and go back though security during a flight connection with her checked luggage
The plane was very warm and stuffy, overhead air jet running very weakly: disconcerting when Covid is still a real concern. ie: fresh air would be nice. On arrival, a 15 minute wait once the plane was stopped at the gate before the door was opened to let passengers leave. Then a 50 minute wait for luggage.
Smooth travel during March Break. Thanks WJ.
Smooth travel during March Break. Thanks WJ.
Be sure to bring own entertainment.
Not a tonne of food for purchase items for early morning.
This flight home was excellent. Watched a movie on my private screen so time went quickly. Nice smooth ride!
The plane was so hot and the air above was basically nothing.
Crew was great and pilot explained why we were late and what was happening . Could have had a bit more food —(cookies,pretzels and drinks just didn’t cut it as it turned out to be a 10hr flight and not a 5.5hr flight!
Very delayed
The whole process for us was easy and seamless. Nice crew, on time departure, easy flight, very little if any turbulence. There’s no entertainment on short haul flights however passengers were chatting to each other about their trip which was good to hear vs plugged in. Vegan options for purchase would be good. Overall a really good flight experience.
The 787 was amazing. Listening to screaming and crying children for four hours was horrible. Small children should be in one section. Seats were very comfortable and leg room was fantastic. Information was very generic on timing.
At the gate I got bumped from my reserved aisle seat to a window. Not a huge deal for a one-hour flight, but the "free seat reservations" are indeed "free" but not "reservations".
A lot of people needing bathroom before arrival some didn’t get to use; plane a little small felt cramped but worked still a bigger plane would be nice. Crew was friendly and flight was on time and smooth. No food for vegans 🤔
There is not a lot of leg room, I was fine but my husband is tall. It was a short flight so that helped.
My flight with WestJet was cancelled due to weather and because I booked with Kayak I was not a priority for rebooking so I have not been able to find a flight for five days. My vacation time would be over at that point. I was not aware of that in cancellation I would not be a priority And could not find another flight. In a good point, I was refunded quickly and without issue it’s very disappointing. You plan your vacation and cannot find another flight without long layovers.
On board WestJet flights, cabin baggage should not exceed 53x38x23cm. If your hand luggage is bigger, the WestJet assistance team will most likely ask you to pay extra for checked luggage.
