Come on GRT, serivce to the airport might be nice!!!! The Region runs both the airport and GRT and maintains the roads to get there, but can't link the two together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll see some service to the airport in the next year My comment WAS related to the Westjet service if you think about it...how people who would've wanted to see the inagural flight from YKF, but if they relied on transit, it was out of the question (I know I'm splitting hairs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenerlrt Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Westjet made a major expansion announcement today. http://cnrp.ccnmatthews.com/client/westjet...mp;releaseSeq=0 Both Kitchener/Waterloo and Saint John (routes that were introduced on May 14), will now get year-round service.

2VivaBlue91 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I prefer Westjet. Nicer service, nicer planes, more smiles and IFE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1122 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've flown Westjet in 2002 and 2003. Not bad, though it's become even better since then. Also, it's a bit surprising that Westjet doesn't fly to New York City. I'm sure if it offered service to New York, it could be profitable. It could compete against Air Canada and U.S. carriers. However, IF, (just if) Westjet was to fly to New York, Which airport do you think would be their choice: JFK La Guardia, or Newark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hl7534 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 WestJet are an excellent airline. What impressed me the most is the excellent ground service- the check-in crews are genuinely kind and friendly. The flight attendants are also a very enthusiastic bunch, and they also have a sense of humour for a change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general682002 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Taken from Vancouver last year to and from, I highly recommended. I wish AC can crash down hard!

M. Parsons Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I haven't travelled with Westjet during the summer months. Do they offer seats sales in July and August as well? Probably heading east to Toronto/ Montreal. Probably not doing a planned trip to the US as I need to save some money as I intend to get my own place in the next year or so. Last year I did Edmonton - Toronto return with Westjet for just over $400 (including taxes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Tickets to Calgary return cost us slighly less than 520$ each person with taxes and everything. I was hoping to fly WestJet over AC. Also, the tickets came out to be cheaper because we're taking the red eye on the flight back home. I never took a domestic red eye before so that will be a little exciting! Martin, let the MTL guys know if/when you come to MTL... we can show you a royal welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always take the red eye when heading out east. Otherwise, with the time change you can lose a good portion of a perfectly good day. I'll usually catch an early flight back home. That way I still end up with a full day back in Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj.surf.lfs Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Westjet is the best airline ever. The flight attendance on my last flight from Toronto to Edmonton was like the most hilarious person ever. And they have bigger planes even if they fly to small places like Thunder Bay. (Air Canada Jazz service sucks, and I hate small planes.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbdb Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I don't think you'd see a story like this involving Air Canada: Elderly woman's lost dog flown back to Saskatoon WestJet's not quite what it used to be for the super personal service (they're too big now) but they're still better than AC as far as employees doing things outside of their job descriptions.

WestJet's not quite what it used to be for the super personal service (they're too big now) but they're still better than AC as far as employees doing things outside of their job descriptions. But they still rocks than any other Canadian airlines as most of them smaller companies have dropped down to the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude... serious? Did you encouter something with them? Sorry but it's just surprising because they are still the same great airline they were three years ago when I personally first flew with them. I hear nothing but great things about them all the time. WestJet is our families first choice of airline! They are very friendly, funny, helpful, great smooth flights, never lost luggage problems with them (at least I don't know anyone that has). Anyhow, that's just me I guess..

SMS Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Alright well first good sign for me was that we were able to pick our seats for our flight. I don't think that's a bad idea! Pretty liberal for an airline... not sure how many others let you do that. I bumped Steve and I up from row 23 (i.e. the last row) up to row 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Trust me, that wasn't a problem... the thing is, I don't know if those emergency exit seats were sold at a premium or not. I would have liked to get my hands on that action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
