So what's the general consensus on WestJet vs Air Canada these days? I had used WestJet exclusively for north american travel for years, but became less and less impressed with their quality of service. So after having some good experiences with AC on international flights I decided to try them out for my flight to Toronto for a training course, and now I don't think I'll be going back to WestJet anytime soon. AC was cheaper, had better departure/arrival times, their mobile app for checking in and electronic boarding pass worked without issue, and printing out my bag tag and getting it checked with an agent took a whole 2 minutes (WestJet has made me sit in the standard check-in line to tag bags on more than one occasion). Add in a full in-flight entertainment system for no charge and AC just seems way ahead of the game for flying enjoyment
So has Air Canada improved enough while WestJet has declined that they're in front now, or have I just been really lucky?
