Anyway, I'm sounding like the airline version of fanin80, when in fact I'm a cheapskate. If the price difference is within $20, I choose WestJet because I do like them better. If Air Canada (or anybody else) is more than $20 cheaper, I'd take them.  |
See this is what aviation does to people, it drives us crazy trying to compare two different business models.
Where I differ from you is I may pay more for a direct flight or to be on certain equipment that I find more comfortable than the other option. For example I will take a flight in an AC Embraer 190 over a Westjet 737 any day. But when I'm travelling with the wife and child it's back to the Westjet 737 because it is 3x3 seating versus the 2x2 in the AC E-190, and perhaps we could get the middle seat free for the kidlet (while she flies free).
