It was a Canadian thing. They were the most polite, most friendly, and the most, don't-worry-about-it airline. Welcome aboard... sure, bring your stuff, relax, let us pour you a coke and offer you a peanut-free snack.
Westjet, our little Canadian-engine-that-could. A jumpstart company founded in memory, heck not even 20 years ago, built on employee investment and partnership. No more community minded company than Westjet. Do you remember their Christmas commercial? We all cried.
Today, all is forgotten as people take to Twitter to spew their aggression against baggage fees.
While baggage fees are getting all the buzz, they also announced a new tier system to their frequent flyer program. This is a pretty good advancement for folks who use Westjet regularly and for business travel.
These changes make Westjet a little more mainstream and a lot more Delta-like. This isn't a bad thing. Delta, which became a code-share partner of Westjet just last year, is one of the world's most successful airlines.
Lastly, with both these airlines you can avoid (1) checked bag fee by carrying their credit card. With their signature credit card you are awarded this privilege. Plus, you also earn credit towards future flights.
Are you onboard?
