I don't really care. Not flying WestJet unless it's the last company on Earth, and all other transportation modes are not viable.
Had to fly YEG-MSP last weekend. Route was YEG-YVR-MSP, with a 2hr layover in YVR.
Flight to YVR was inexplicably delayed, which would give us less than 1hr of layover (and not enough time to go through security/immigration). They booked us to YYC (a stupid move, as it would only give us an extra 30 min, anyways.) That flight ALSO got delayed, so we missed our connection in YYC.
The only options were overnight stay in Calgary or try our luck in YWG. Because we had to be in MSP early on Sunday for an appointment, we chose YWG.
By that time, we were going to get to MSP over 14hrs later than originally planned.
Flight to YWG got delayed because the people who were gonna WORK IN THE DAMN FLIGHT were over 1hr late to work.
WestJet didn't offer ANYTHING until we actually started to lose our shit with them and even so, they got us only $15 each to eat in YYC (what am I supposed to do with $15, buy a medium coffee?).
Because of the successive delays, we had to sleep in Winnipeg, but it was over 1am when we got there, and they started pushing the blame for the delays on WestJet flights (and the terrible service) on Delta, so by the time they said it would take them 1hr to get the codes for the Hotel vouchers, it was 2am. You do the math, and we would've gotten the vouchers at 3am, to get to the hotel, check in, sleep, check out and be at the airport before 4:30am, as our flight was at 6am.
After all this, the flight they had put us to MSP was full, so we had to fly back to YYC, to catch a flight to MSP, be late for our convention and get there exactly 24h later than we should.
