westjet?

[kikif]

just wondering if anyone has flown from toronto to tampa or orlando? we will be flying down to tampa at the end of March. Just wondering how the flight was...any movies? I know West Jet is usually great but for a long flight I'm worried that the kids will get bored!

I flew WestJet in January, Toronto to Orlando. The flight was smooth, but delayed both ways. (I now have a credit, which I probably won't be able to use )

There were t.v.'s in each seat for satellite t.v. Worked great going down, but the weather interfered with it coming home. Oh, and they can't have it on for take-off or landing.

Snacks and drinks were provided a couple of times during the flight. HTH!

thanks for your quick reply..I know we usually enjoy flying WestJet..was hoping that they have the tv's ..hopefully they will have them on our flight!

The Satellite TV's are appearing more and more often on WestJet and especially flights to/from TO. I would expect that they will try to showcase them on the longer US bound flights when possible..

We just got back from WDW and flew with West Jet.

Our flight from TO to Orlando did not have the TVs installed yet, but from what I've heard West Jet is working to upgrade all it's planes. We were offered drinks/snacks twice, and they also came around with sandwiches or largers snacks (pringles, beef jerky) available at a reasonable cost (maximum was $5 I believe).

Our flight home did have the TVs. The flight was delayed 40min, which overall wasn't that bad (I flew once with AirTransat and was delayed 14 hours...). This plane did have the TVs, which seemed to make the trip home much shorter. I actually really liked just having the TV on the "map", so I could tell what I was looking at out the window.

I will definitly fly West Jet again - I'm tall, and very overweight, and flying with any other airline has been a torture experience for me, but with West Jet I can actually move my legs, and the seats, although snug, don't leave me with huge bruises on both hips.
