WestJet review by Anthony

Traveled on Westjet to Edmonton, Canada. Upon arriving at the airport for return flight my wife and i tried and were unable to pre-register on kiosk. We were instructed to see an agent. There was two lines, Priority and Non-Registered. There was an agent helping "Priority Passenger but she had to leave. Now only two agents helping pre-boarding passenger. We were literally the first in line at Non-Registered and every "Priorotiy" Passenger that came up they helped first. We literally watched this happen before we said something and after asking when we were going to be helped the agent was very rude in her response saying/yelling PRIORITY FIRST! so when are we supposed to be helped?? She continued to be rude and said if we give her attitude, we might MISS Our Flight! Are you kidding me? She is the one who had attitude. It's called Communication. Let us and the other passengers in line know what's going on wo=without having attitude. It's called Customer Service. Thank you (there's more that happened and more that was said but ill keep it as is. Just had to vent) Thanks again.

Insane!!! Do not fly with this shady company. Tracking systems discovered me after buying 3 tickets for $350 each i wanted to add a fourth one. the price jumped to $1100 as soon as I entered my name or credit info in every booking website. had to book a separate flight in another day for myself for the same $300 ish. Just Wondering, did you really think someone would pay $1100 for a $350 flight??

During the pandemic we had four flights already booked and every one of the airlines refunded our money except for WestJet. They gave us a voucher and we told them we wanted a refund because we were more than 500 miles from any place where WestJet was available. We have not received any refund and the voucher has expired and we have had no response from West Jet. I would never do business with them.

Luggage delayed for the second time in under a month. Flight from Heathrow to Nanaimo via Calgary 14th November, still no luggage. No urgency from customer services, useless website and a clear ‘could not care less attitude’

WestJet review by Norm

Recent travel. Rescheduled my return trip from Hawaii 4 times in month prior to travel and in process cancelled seats I had previously paid for. Had to repay for exit row seats. No food on the flight back to Canada (even for purchase) except for a small bag of pretzels. Cancelled connecting flight home after arrival back in Canada resulting in an overnight stay with no compensation for accommodation or food. Lost my suitcase and when finally found and delivered it had been damaged beyond usable. This was once a great airline but it has hit the skids. An ugly shadow of its former self.

My connecting flight to Toronto was delayed 24hrs with less than 12hrs notice. I spent all night on the phone trying to get my flight from Montreal to Toronto delayed as well and never got the line. Impossible to change or cancel flights online. I had to go to Toronto and then Cancun, then hours of bus and ferry. Ugh. --- Mon vol de correspondance à Toronto a été décalé de 24hrs à moins de 12 hrs d’avis. J’ai passé la nuit au téléphone pour tenter de de aller mon vol Montréal Toronto et je n’ai jamais eu la ligne. Impossible de modifier ou annuler les vols en ligne. J’ai du me rendre à Toronto puis cancun pour des heures de bus et traversier. Argh.

WestJet review by Dennis

This airline has chosen whom will and will not get refunds on their cancelled flights due to COVID-19. I had purchased several seats from myself plus workers to head to Vancouver in April. Due to the virus, we were advised to cancel our flights. When we did, they refused to give us our money back. For me over $5,000. Instead, I have an account credit that is good for 24 month. Others on the same flight received full refunds.These flights did not happen and as of this writing, you still cannot fly into Canada.West Jet only flys from a US destination to a Canadian Destination therefore, there is no chance that we will be able to use these credits thus, stealing money from their customers. This is unacceptable business practices and no one should support this company. They are hiding behind the fact that they are Canadian and do not have to comply with US laws when it comes to refunds.Besides myself and the 10+ seats I purchased, I have found over a dozen others who have been taken advantage of by this company.

Beware, they will steal your hard earned money. Avoid, avoid. They stole $5600 from me. Paid for a vacation and they cancelled it and they still have my money. Run from them. They used my money to bail themselves out. They do not care about customers only your money...... Greedy.

Buyer Beware: they will take your money for reserved flights and then cancel the flight 2 weeks later with no attempt to help you obtain alternate flights. They provide a credit good for 2 years rather than cash in return. This is 6 months into the pandemic, not 2 weeks. Try contacting assistance? 6 hour wait on the phone, return call assistance cuts you off after trying to book a time (all booked) three times, and live chat on Facebook is actually a bot. So, they steal your money and then make themselves beyond contact. All sanctioned by the Canadian Liberal federal government. Collusion on theft of money by a company that ought to be bankrupt.

WestJet review by Ricky

Booked a direct flight for my mom from Austin TX to Calgary Canada in June. Received email from West Jet after 5 days that the flight is cancelled, offering connected flight or travel back reward. 1. Tried calling CUSTOMER SERVICE was on phone for more than 2 HOURS but NO RESPONSE, so finally I hung up my phone. Tried calling CUSTOMER SERVICE 2 more times same result (They were very consistent in duplicating the long wait time to hit a goal where customer gets frustrated and can hang up the call). 2. Tried a chatting system Month later on 29th July, Marco from West Jet responded it felt like I was chatting with robot not even a real person (Slow in response, no emotions, 2 to 3 minute lag in getting response back) END OF THE STORY NO MONEY REFUND, BUT GAVE ME A TRAVEL REWARD OR TRAVEL BANK TO USE THE SAME AMOUNT TO BUY TICKETS AND IS GOOD FOR 24 MONTHS. i WOULD NOT RECOMMEND WEST JET BECAUSE THEY DO NOT PROVIDE REFUND EVEN THE FLIGHT IS CANCELLED.
