It hurt, but was the right decision.

When do you make the all to fly someone else’s metal?
Sounds like you made the right decision. (Also doing CES, booked a few weeks ago, and WestJet was also the better option out of Vancouver).

Be warned once you come over to the teal side you may actually like it. WS is quickly catching up to AC. There are a few teal coloured 737s flying around with real business class seats.
