The last few flights I took with them it was just like an AC flight.
This seems OT for this thread.
Here’s what I’ve noticed flying WS between YYJ and YEG/YYC. In premium vs AC business class.
- WS has no beverage cart, making drink service slow. The FA takes the orders then walks back to the galley, makes the drinks and serves two seats at a time. Very inefficient. One drink per flight is the norm. If you’re lucky you may score a refill.
- The food is much worse than AC, no hot breakfast. No plated snack. Just some prepackaged snacks available.
- The upgrades are priced very low. making waiting for a gate comp up not worth it.
- Same day change can be done on the phone with WS, which is quite nice.
- Some FAs still make jokes.
