InFlight Review | WestJet Calgary to Orlando
.....................................................................................................................................................................................................
About halfway into the flight, which
was about four and a half hours
total, we were presented with our
in-flight snack and beverage, along
with the option to purchase
something from the on-board menu.
Always one of my personal favorite
points in any flight, I was pleasantly
surprised with what was presented
to me. I was given the choice
between “cookies” or “pretzels”, I
chose the cookies and had a cola to
drink.

One thing I noticed about this flight
(along with other recent flights of
mine with the airline) is that they
have opted to move away from their
old entertainment system, which
included a seat back television in
every seat. Instead on their new
aircraft you can either use your
own device or rent a WestJet tablet
pre-loaded with a rather weak
selection of about 9 mediocre
movies, and 8 television series’, 4 of
which are children’s cartoons. The
cost of renting an on-board tablet is
$5 Canadian.
Overall the flight there wasn’t too
bad, the snacks were decent, and
the crew was very friendly. I did
notice though that the cabin of the
aircraft was rather filthy, and there
was some (actually quite a lot) of
spilled food items under the seat in
front of mine. Also I personally am
not a fan of the new Boeing 737
seats, I think their pretty
uncomfortable, certainly not as good
as the older seats, I’m not sure why,
the whole thing just seems a little
more uncomfortable, perhaps even
a little “cheaper” made. Also the fact
that I was unaware of the change in
cabin configur ][ۋ[
