Worst airline I have ever experienced. Told us we needed to stop in Toronto for a “minor” mechanical repair. Now I am stuck in Toronto and their “Recovery” airplane has pushed back ETA multiple times. Going to miss my connecting flight. I asked the help number and the people at the check in kiosk if I could get a refund and just purchase a ticket from a different airline. They told me no I could not get a refund. How can any company do this and not even offer a refund? The only thing I have got from them is a $15 food voucher…

There’s no option for flights from San Diego. The plane was on time and clean. But I must write this review because I experienced bad attitude from two flight attendants. The passages in front of me asked to swap seats. One of the flight attendants said “ yes, if no one is taking it”. Because she had moved out of her original seat, I asked if I can move to her seat next to the aisle. The FA said “no, hers is an upgrade “!! Another FA asked me to wait at aisle 4 while the other FA were serving beverages at the middle of the plane. So I did. The man came out from the restroom so I walked towards the restroom. He asked the FA how to flush the toilet. The FA gave me a disgusting look telling me “ I asked you to wait at aisle 4! “ I think WestJet needs to train your crews to be more respectful! Sorry you earned one star from me!

Excellent airline, very comfortable flight, it did help that only about 2/3 of the airplane was full so there were lots of empty seats. Food was nice, standard airplane food, but tasty. Very impressed with them.
