SWOOP Airlines? No, it's WestJet! + WS NEW pricing policy 😑| Flight Review | Vancouver - Edmonton
In this (unintended) flight review we checkout SWOOP Airlines...sort of. Swoop is a now defunct airline which was wholly owned by WestJet. Although the airline doesn't exist anymore, SWOOP livery planes now fly for WestJet
More importantly, WestJet released a new pricing scheme, so I explain why I don't like it, and it needs some work!

Porter works well when things work well but if for any reason you are delayed and your flight gets canceled you can forget about going home before 3-4 days. They are simply not equipped to handle bad weather
Inclement weather is part of the game unfortunately. They don't have a large fleet as compared to ws and ac. That being said, be sure to familiarize with what rights you have as a passenger that legislation allows. Hopefully these occurrences are far and few between.
Taking Porter in December YYZ to LAX
Nice! Enjoy the free wifi!
nice video, now i know what to expect im taking this same exact aa flight twice next month dallas/tokyo when i go to the philippines, your video game me an idea of what to expect on my flight, thank you
Make sure to get the extra snacks on board. Enjoy!
Was on this a year ago. Second worst flight other than sitting at the bottom of a A380. Worst seat ever, worst aircrew, I was on an international leg and it had food included but they lost my info, were very rude and asked me to double pay or starve. I chose the latter. Instant coffee yuck! A year earlier I flew Jetstar Narita - Cairns and the Dreamliner is so much nicer and the food was good and it was more quiet. At least Narita has direct to city connections.
Wonderful trip report. SQ really provided you a top-notch service.
They are highly regarded as one of the best and I can see why. The lounge and the seat really stood out in this trip.
west jet couldn't organize a dog fight.
Meh.. they'd do a better job than Flair. But does that say much lol
Good review. Just what was needed to make or not the decision to fly
Glad you enjoyed!
Great review. And Andrew ur so handsome 💕
Thanks! But don't let my handsome-ness distract from the views 🏔️ or that pink livery! Or that cheesecake in the last video 🍰
As a person born in Seoul, and lived here for 20+ yrs, traveled a lot abroad, never knew there was such thing like Air Seoul. Recent rise of LCCs are phenomenal. Nice video! Edit: seems like it was founded recently
The new Via trains that came this year have really really nice business class. I took one Ottawa to Toronto return, it was very good.
Right on! I did the same, but in economy. The new business class car is on my list!
when i went singapore in 2022 i also gate 59
Cool! Great gate!
how much it cost you for the one day pass? those the pass has a very strict ite? like a day tour? or it’s like an unlimited kind of ride?
You're going to want to check the website for the current price. I can't remember what I paid for it. These one day passes usually provide transport to and from the park once, but you can use the bus to go about the park as much as you want.
how did you find the turbulence? i'm flying with porter soon but i'm a nervous flyer LOL and i really can't do the drops
I think this flight was fairly calm. Most times flight paths avoid turbulent air masses. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but it's nothing to worry about. Enjoy the trip and the porter experience!
@@theglobalpeasant thank you sm!!!
I got porter for my brother and they left him stranded after an emergency with another passenger and said they'd help him to his next flight and then when they landed they said they can't do anything. It's absolutely worth the price of bigger airlines. The only Canadian airline I would trust is westjet at least they're more helpful. I'll never book with porter again
Can't comment on the specifics, but you should contact Porter. WestJet is also a good airline too!
Good .
Say the name of the airline 10 times fast and you unlock a secret flight to Bangkok
Was the lounge access included with the upgrade?
Good question. Lounge is only included in an eupgrade if it clears by check in. Once I have a business class ticket, lounge access is possible. If the flight was delayed, I'd be able to go to the lounge. So it's a yes/no answer
dude is smokin hot
Air Canada business class blows 💔
😭😭 What's better? Maybe I'll put it to the test if I can one day! I'll still give you a ❤️ for commenting!
Air Canada is a member of Star Alliance. If you were guaranteed the business class upgrade, you would have been able to enjoy the lounge access 😢 Such a wasted opportunity 🥴 Anyways, lovely coverage! Didn't know there's a SIN- Vancouver route.. SQ used to serve this route for awhile. Sadly it didn't last long 😔
Yes. If the upgrade cleared before check in, I'd be able to hit up the lounge. Sometimes it clears, sometimes it doesn't. All depends. Glad you enjoyed the trip!
Great review. I fly to Canada frequently...but I would fly to NYC via SQ and hop over rather than flight via AC direct. My knock on AC business is that there is restricted feet space and the bed is very narrow. SQ long haul bed is much much wider and way more comfortable. But the worst part is that ACs soft products is miss and hit. I have had cabin crew that are super friendly and showed that he loved their job. But more often then not, AC business crew showed that they can't be bothered. On the contrary, SQ cabin crew is always consistent so you know what your getting.
Glad you enjoyed it I see what you're saying about the soft product and experienced same as you. I'd rather not pass through the states if I can avoid it, so I'll choose a flight to Canada over a US connection when possible.
Great video! My Wife and I are booked on the same flight next March in economy. How much did you bid for your upgrade?
you can use e upgrades and pay a small fee instead of bidding… much cheaper!
Glad you enjoyed it! I used eupgrade with my ac status not bid upgrade.. Their website has a document outlining the cost (if any) associated with eupgrade From my experience, bid upgrade to prem econ is generally reasonable... check it out as your trip gets closer!
Are there many Canadians and Singaporeans on board? Any of the AC's Cabin Crew were Singaporean speaking English and Mandarin on board?
No idea. Pretty sure the cabin crew were Canadian.
No Singaporeans on AC .. only Finnair and the Big3 Middle Eastern carriers as well as Saudia employs Singaporeans.
I wonder when Air Canada will re introduce Melbourne 🇦🇺 service? That will definitely beat Singapore in terms of distance. I hear the YVR-MEL is in the works
That's be a trip! Would love to visit Melbourne.
I noticed that you had one of those newer style Canadian passports. Did you have any issues with the passport scanning at the automated passport control machines in Singapore? Mine kept having problems and I had to get processed manually. It worked fine in other countries though.
Yes, sometimes it takes a few times to scan. I think the hard plastic card reflects the light, or something to the effect. A couple tries and it tends to work.
I wish it was Singapore Airlines that operated this flight instead of Air Canada.
I'm happy with AC since I get 100%sqm/sqd! Was surprised before booking that SA didn't fly to YVR
@@theglobalpeasantSQ did. 2021-2023. Nonstop. Did the flight a few times.
@@the.mystictravellerand in the 2000s as well. The route was not profitable for sq as well.
I did that flight via Singapore Airlines in economy 🫠. Never again lol
Perhaps you might change your mind if you had the chance to fly business class? When you fly in a premium cabin, you actually wished the flight was longer!
@@yvr2002rtw definitely agree with ya mate 🙌🏼
Would be a long time in econ! Knowing what I know now, I'd probably break it into two... But then if the price is right, I can suck it up for a few more hours 🤣
Their economy isn’t that good sadly
Not the best, but also not the worst.
Wow they offer satay! Great video as always.
Thanks! They were great!
your phone gps still function when in flight mode so google maps can show your location based from gps location
Ahh good to know!
Well presented! Thank you! Is there wheelchair assistance available for seniors who need support, to carry them from the station to the rail? And is there a rental car office near by the station in Ottawa? I am planning on taking my senior parents from Toronto to Ottawa for a 3 day tour, mid-August this year, and your video is really helpful.
These are good questions and best left to VIAs website or help centre. I did another via video from Ottawa - Montreal and you can see inside Ottawa stn at the start which may provide some clarity. Enjoy your trip!.
Thank you for your thoughts! This was by far the most detailed review I've watched so far! Most around the same time or longer didn't get explain half of what you did!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes I think I'm too analytical >.<. I just rode one of their new trains a few weeks back, so that video will be coming up in the next few months!
For me I was trying to figure out if the upgrade was worth it, seating plans, food, the lounge, and a few other things. It’s going to be my first VIA rail trip. Going from Toronto to Quebec City. Not a lot of people vlogged the trip. Might be because it’s a long trip. Keep doing what you’re doing, because I know I’m not the only who appreciates the detailed videos.
Hi Andrew, Excellent Video. I'm envisaging travelling to SIA Changi Airport then onto Bangkok. Were you happy with your seat 16K if facing forward is the window on the right next to the seat. Any comments on the dual seating. If you happen to take a flight on SIA A350-900 from BNE to SIA please let me know. I'm a 75 year male and never flown with SIA always Thai Airways. They stopped direct flights leaving BNE to BKK. So now I will use SIA unfortunately layover at Changi. Your help would be greatly appreciated indeed. John Mc ( Gold Coast Australia ) Take care
Gold Coast! Wonderful place...was there in March! A) my seat was right beside the window. In the cabin overview I mention which rows the seats are by the window and which are by the aisle. All seats are great anyway. B) I have no plans for Australia travel at this point. Last year, I did Sydney - Singapore. That video may be of value: th-cam.com/video/pEz7IXC2a1I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YZFwvjnqDp8Y-hJ1 C) although you have a layover in SIN, it's a very good airport to transfer. Enjoy your trip John. Thanks for watching!
Hi John, Singapore Changi is a great layover. I believe the connecting flight to Oz isn't too long. SQ is an excellent carrier. I only choose SQ when booking flights for my parents. They take good care of children and the elderly. Trust that you'll enjoy their service!
I can't imagine sitting on this plane for longer than a few hours, and even then, I would consider this to be an uncomfortable flying experience. I wonder how much success the airline will have on these longer haul services.
It definitely takes some people some time to get used to long haul flights. Porter only serves North America with their longest flight being Toronto to LA.. so not long haul in the traditional sense. But they do offer a nice product for north American travel.
Wait? What? U do not get any mileage accrued for traveling?!?!? What thats crazy
To my surprise, no. Mileage accumulation is based on booking class (there's a lot of them). In my particular ticket, there was none for this leg, but others there was for this itinerary.
Great video and review!
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!
The chicken satay is not considered as an appetiser but more for an accompaniment with your drinks instead of the nuts.And its only served when a full lunch or dinner is featured and also depending on the time of departure.
Good to know. Before this flight, I was unaware of a different service for overnight flights.
Great trip Andrew, I'm so glad you were able to enjoy Singapore, even better that you were able to travel in Business, having the lounge at your disposal, being able to shower, the delicious food on the flight, it's a pleasure to see you happy and imagine you happy traveling hahaha. Greetings from Chile! Have a nice week :)
Many thanks Ariel! Singapore is a great place to visit. I hope you can too one day. I'm sure you'll like the buses which connect Singapore with KL. This was definitely a treat, but a long way to reach Canada, but we enjoy travel I did not mind. Many greetings from Toronto!
Governments of both main parties have neglected Canada's railways. Service is slow on antiquated tracks. Canada is not a serious country.
Agreed. Many years of funding cuts did no one any good. Rode their new trains last week, so looks like they're doing something right..but will take a lot of investments if they're serious about rail travel in this country.
I'm going to Japan on august 3rd, any tips? Great video by the way!
Drink lots of mugi-cha and keep cool cause she's gonna be a hot one! Enjoy your trip!
Another great review! The fact you get that much space on regional business class in Asia is so amazing. I'm jealous we don't have those types of air corridors here in North America to jump onto cheaper business class. seats.
Thanks Daniel! Ya, finding deals for bus. in north america is a bit more tricky...sometimes I can't get a econ flight for that price
Flying into Haneda is a huge plus it's way closer to tokyo and the shinkansen if you're moving on elsewhere. Naritas good but it's an hour and a bit to tokyo
Totally agree. My choice when flying to/from Tokyo!
Why in the world would anybody fly on American, when you would have a 1000% better flight with ANA or JAL airlines. Better food, better service, and definitely better overall flight experience.
All comes down to the almighty dollar. Japanese carriers offer very good service, but it comes at a premium, and neither service YYZ. If I can, I try to get a codeshare w/ AA on JAL. Did it in 2023...good deal!
Price..? Yes those carriers definitely provide better service but if another airline is ridiculously cheaper then ofc someone is going to choose it. Especially if they would rather use that extra money for food or other items once they’re in Japan.
For transfers I prefer DFW, but because I’m usually flying out of MEX I avoid transferring at ORD: even after an expensive refit T5 is still a cluster. (That shouldn’t deter one from visiting Chicago though, great city)
Agree. Would choose DFW/ORD any day, especially if I'm clearing immigration there.
What time was this flight if it arrived before 3pm in HND you are going to make UA130 HND-EWR Terminal C. If you are doing this inbound from Canada you would be clearing customs in Toronto for EWR Terminal C if UA AC if Terminal A then UA131 to NH HND-KIX
Flight times are posted in the video. I don't really fly UA, so I can't help you there.
Genuinely impressed at the information you got for a spontaneous video!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad they maintained the old line for this run! Great thing to do in Kyoto!
The 4:3 aspect ratio IFE screen should make an honourable mention
hehe it absolutely should!
I just booked an airline to Japan and I will be taking this airline when I return to Thailand.
Nice! Should be a good flight. Remember to pre-purchase any larger meals if you want before your flight!
