Take Off, Eh ✈️🇨🇦💰

Canadians pay some of the highest flight prices in the world. But it doesn’t need to be this way. We’re fighting back. Join us.

$10 million dollars is nothing to #WestJet. Lose money now to destroy the competition, then hike prices later and make up for it. #TakeOffEh https://t.co/QAwzlFoYK6

Hey @WestJet thanks for the two hour delay getting to Halifax and not offering a complimentary beverage! Also when asking for people to check their bags perhaps the 9 WestJet employees shouldn’t bring their 3 pieces each on board! #totalfail #nexttimeAirCanada #disappointed

To have to spend $ on cabs to go back to the airport, spend my time having someone inspect my bags, all the while putting my vacation on hold for an extended time. Not sure what happened to destroy my bags so badly, but the process to mitigate this shouldn’t be this difficult.

[OhMyGally @AndrewBrushett]

Dear @WestJet , I can understand that accidents happen when it comes to moving thousands of bags every day. But I’ve been told I cannot claim any damages unless I go back to the airport and have someone inspect my bags. No online or phone claims. This is tough on vacation

Ok let’s try something new: What’s the BEST meal you’ve eaten in economy on a Canadian flight?

As always, DMs are open if you have any horror stories from air travel in Canada. It’s not gonna get any better until the government stamps out uncompetitive practices #WestJet

What kind of a name is swoop anyway? The same goes for Air Canada Jazz, of course 🎷🎤 #TakeOffEh

[Take Off, Eh ✈️🇨🇦💰 @TakeOffEh_]

Example: “Wow, that big box store is selling clothes at rock bottom prices, they’re going to put the competition out of business!”
“Yeah, they’re selling at a loss too. 100% swooping.” #WestJet #TakeOffEh

[Take Off, Eh ✈️🇨🇦💰 @TakeOffEh_]

From now on, the word ‘swoop’ will be defined as ‘undercutting others by selling your product at a loss’ #WestJet #TakeOffEh

Only 15% of Cdns live outside of their province of birth

We are more likely to vacation abroad than in another province

From Toronto, it's cheaper to fly to Miami than Saskatoon

No wonder we can't sell beer to each other, we're a nation of strangers.

No kidding. https://t.co/IQ9UrIpVrm #WestJet #TakeOffEh

Just shameful. Their actions are indefensible, so #WestJet resorts to questioning the jurisdiction of the Human Rights Commission instead: https://t.co/qtYzNcQikN #TakeOffEh

In all seriousness, this is actually unprecedented. “#WestJet says it’s co-operating with predatory pricing probe by Competition Bureau” - Calgary Herald https://t.co/tLBGQ63HYi

[Tomac @Tomac10]

@WestJet I did. They said it wasn’t damaged ‘enough’. I wasn’t aware that luggage that costs $100s (multiple) was expected to be damaged from its first flight. How silly of me to think that care would be taken with other people’s property.

[Tomac @Tomac10]

@WestJet this is why we can’t have nice things when flying with WestJet. Luggage services says this doesn’t count as damage. Brand new luggage but who cares right?

[bernadette fernandes @on_the_varanda]

@WestJet when checking into a flight reserved via WestJet but operated by Delta, and online check-in attempts via both the WestJet reservation and the Delta confirmation fail, what is the option for passenger assistance? Neither call center nor online chat could help :(

@CTA_gc This is who the #proposed #air passenger #regulations are going to make things worse:

[Lizzi @Lizzibear]

@WestJet Not needing a refund. Simply made an error on date selection and they refuse to change it. They’re keeping my money and selling the seat to someone else. #boycottWestJet #nocompassion #unreasonable #rude

[heather hadley @heatherhadley8]

@TakeOffEh_ since I’m loving your recent focus on Westjet, I will mention that in the past 5 weeks, an upgrade purchase, went from $49 to $100.50. Ugh.....I’m thinking of going back to AC cuz at least they are upfront with screwing u #needmorecompetition #wj=AC2.0
