First time to fly Westjet - amazing experience

Thanks CheapOair! First time to book flight through your website and first time to fly Westjet at Premium - great experiences! Your timely and regular reminders and info updates were very helpful. The Westjet seats are spacious and comfy. I had a water bottle waiting for me, filling snacks, juices and wine! The crew is great too - asked if I wanted more snacks, any additional drink, abd very professional and courteous. I'm sure to book through CheapOair again and will look out for great flight fares with Westjet! - Ma  Jan 31, 2025
