Is THIS Canada’s WORST Airline? | Toronto to Vancouver | Flair Airlines | Boeing 737 MAX 8

Flair Airlines has become the juggernaut of low-cost travel in Canada since their inception in 2005. They started off as a charter airline, and have slowly built up their low-cost brand for cheap flights to, from, and within Canada. In today’s video, I tested out their domestic service flying flying across the country from Toronto to Vancouver. What was it like? Was it really as bad as some may say, or was the flight problem-free? Watch the video to find out, and make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you haven’t already!

I'm a frequent flyer and have been buffeted about by most major carriers. It's odd, that of all the times I have flown Flair, to Kelowna, to Fort Lauderdale, to Vancouver etc. etc. their flights have been on time and the inflight service very pleasant. I think they are doing a great job and seeing as what they have to put up with from our two major carriers, they have blossomed and are establishing themselves as a low-cost carrier. Like any low-cost airline, follow the rules, know what to expect and you will not be disappointed. Bravo Flair, keep up the good work.

@johndoe19203402020 18 күн бұрын

I agree on all those points, you fly low cost, you know what you are getting into and should not be disappointed. My first flight and return home went perfectly. They did however cancel another flight on me the day before and it took a long time to get a refund. That as my last flight with them.

Flair saved our bacon 2 years ago when West Jet (WJ) canceled our flight while we were waiting to board US bound. Once we were advised of the cancelation and marched out through customs we attempted to contact WJ but placed on hold, no one was there. No alternative flights were offered by WJ. Luckily we found a flight on Flair the next day. This week we had to cancel WJ due to potential strike. Flair is our last remaining true low cost airline. Flying Flair is no worse than the other airlines, they can all leave you behind.
