Jeez. I always travel with my toddler in first class.

Wouldn’t want to expose her to the complaining poors.

Calgary FBOs always have excellent popcorn. Avoid the terminals and cattle.

... Infants rarely scream for longer than a few seconds, all you do is throw a titty in their mouth. ...

Sounds like the option @jutes is looking for. So we wouldn't have to endure his rant.

I also have the same experience with infants. Flew overnight flight to YYZ with an 8 month old. Lady with cat across the aisle insisted to be moved on a full flight and began REEEing to flight attendant and giving us dirty looks. The baby slept the whole time, boarding, landing etc. Her stupid cat started making noise for attention about halfway through.

I now plan to scream on my next flight and hope for the best.

Kids don't bother me at all. I can sleep through a nuclear bomb.

Fat people bother me. When they seat me next to someone overflowing their seat, I typically tell the steward to move me before I roll the yeast smelling dough down the isle and out an emergency exit.

The amount of fucking emails Westjet sends before a flight. Theres the "be safe on your upcoming flight" email, then the "check in now email", followed by another "your flight may look different now" email. When you're doing quick turn and burn flights its just basically all Westjet spam for 2 days.

Me waiting for a flight:
Google - your flight is now delayed by 90mins for departure
WJ app - still on time!
WJ app when I get onto the plane 90mins later - Oh hi, your flight is delayed

Also, on the trip back, flight was delayed 1h
Flight lands at 8:50
My luggage doesn't show up at carousel until 10:45 (along with many others)

Fucking bullshit.

WJ sucks, I switched to AC years ago. The suckage is there, but its less.

I think it's on the spectrum both ways. Neither is "good", but then again, canadians don't deserve good things.
Living in Calgary, you more often get the direct flights you want with WJ than AC, simply because YYC is the WJ hub. Connecting through Pearson is disgusting.

Pretty sure commercial air travel just sucks in general.

Not being poor takes the edge off, but doesn’t really fix the systemic issues.

I would never go anywhere that requires connecting through Pearson. Or connecting at all. Life is too short to pretend that any destination is worth the annoyance of wasting two entire days doing air travel (there and home).

I typically stick with WJ cause it's way easier to get their status tiers (unless you do trans-atlantic/trans-pacific flights, those get you AC status right away), and use the WJ mastercard for a companion flight.

Also, anecdotally, I've had way more frequent bad experiences with AC (decent sample size with both airlines, as I used to have to take at least one round trip per week for ~40 weeks/yr).

My gay butthole lover buddy just flew to NY from Calgary.
But he lives in Edmonton and the flight also stopped in Pearson where he missed his connector.
I'll be laughing at him for another decade about that. 3 hour drive to get a non-direct flight!!

I will never forgive AC for missing my connection to LHR in pearson and making me miss a chelsea-cardiff premier league game that finished 4-2 @ Stamford Bridge. Fuck AC.

Maybe if I type out my answer, I'll understand the advanced joke it feels like I'm missing...

Instead of flying from Edmonton direct to New York City, he figured it was worth saving money to drive 3hr South to Calgary and catch a flight from YYC that not only wasn't direct, its stop was in Toronto. Which fucked him and he missed the Toronto - NYC flight. So he had to be rebooked several hours later.
