WestJet/Wow - should I?
I am tempted to make a VERY quick YYZ-London trip in December, having found a £250 return fare outward on WestJet and returning on Wow via Iceland. I know Westjet have had hideous timekeeping on their TATL service, but am I right in thinking this has settled down somewhat? Am I foolhardy in taking this combination of airlines?

I don't think that would be foolish at all. For a price like that I wouldn't hesitate, as long as you have some flexibility on either end of your trip and/or trip insurance in the off chance that your flights are delayed, although I'd give that suggestion regardless of the carrier. I think you'll be fine.

Other than the Westjet reliability problems due to their old aircraft... It seems to think that you'd need some slack time in the schedule in order to accommodate for any delays. I know it's hard to plan around that, but I'm a bit risk adverse that way.
