★☆☆☆☆

WestJet has become a total rip-off mill. Since introducing 3 so called classes, its nothing more than manipulation and fear mongering set up to trick you and take advantage of people.

Case in point: One way ticket from LA to Vancouver March 23 2014.

The plane is going to be at the LA airport because it is inbound from an incoming flight. You can look at different dates, see how massively overpriced the saturday or sunday fares compared to other days of the week.

One big problem...the seat maps of each flight shows only about 30 of 110 seats are sold. They say that there are no econo seats but what determines what and when a seat is considered econo???

WestJerks would rather fly an empty plane? Competitors are charging less for seats on the same flight to the same destination i.e. Air Canada, Alaska, United etc..

Now go check the same flight 2 or 3 days from today and see how empty the plane still is. Why does every flight show row 23 completely sold? Is it to trick people into thinking that the econo seats are sold out?

They manipulate people into thinking they won't get a seat at a good price if they book 2 or 3 days before flying - that's taking advantage of peoples' sense of certainty and security in knowing if they will be able to get home or not!

Why does WestJerk say their prices one way from the USA have to be priced in US dollars when Air Canada does not AND US airlines price their flights departing from Canada in their home currency of US dollars.

I hope passengers punish WestJerk airlines for trying to rip people off with phony "market pressures" and scams whereby they call their seats different fare classes not by location of the seat but by how many days out the flight is.

Air travel to and from Cancun, no TV's there or back. Flight took seven hrs forty five minutes return, with no clarification Extremely bad trip, will bear in mind other carriers next trip. I found superior but inexpensive flights on theholidayhotels.
