Westjet nonstop or connect on Delta?
How bad is the west jet experience? I have an upcoming last min flight from lax to yvr and would really like to fly it nonstop. Getting MQDs for it would be very nice. I fly WN fairly regularly (though usually on short flights), is it similar? Thx

I didn't mind my one experience with WestJet. Employees are very nice and helpful. If you have DL status, you can ask at the gate if they might have a better seat, and they will probably upgrade you to one of the plus seats (agents elsewhere are powerless to change seats). I would take the direct.

I flew LAX-YVR on Westjet last week.
Next time I will pre-select and pay for a seat, since at check-in I got randomly assigned a window seat and I prefer aisle. My flight was full.
Flight was fine
edited to add, my noon flight was offering $13 for seat selection, and $33 for exit row seat selection. The pricing didn't change from booking (a month or more out) to the day be fore the flight.
Last year I think I paid $45 or $50 for an exit row on the same flight.
