The WestJet Wifi is pretty slick but I miss some of the Westjet Connect features like the Live Route Map etc. But one of the many things I like about Westjet Wifi is that if I have a connection I can see its status now whilst enroute, whereas I couldn’t before on Connect.
Thank you, I now read some of the discussion from last fall.
I wasn't too familiar with WS's wifi, so I paid $14 or whatever in order to watch the Leafs game. By the time I managed to do that, the score was already beyond hope, but also the internet speed was in the single digits. AC's internet on the way to YYZ was super quick and free. In a way, with more airlines offering free wifi, it's not that big of a loss of a credit card benefit, I suppose
