To those who are getting worked up about this being a publicity stunt or marketing strategy or whatever you want to call it, stop being so pessimistic. We all know it's a marketing strategy. That's no secret. They need ways to grow their company if they want to make money after all. But the great thing about it is that rather than following the grain and just making commercials to advertise their product, they're getting creative and found a way to give back to their customers while doing so. It shows the character of the company and is putting a lot of people in a good mood. That's more than any other airline company can say they've done.

That was nothing but class. The person and or persons that came up with that idea need to be congratulated as you are a true champion of humanity. You need to be cherished by your workmates, family, friends, and peers as your heart is pure to the core and wouldn't believe for a second that it was solely for publicity. It will move anyone who watches it. Priceless!

I can only imagine the absolute rush and chaos those WestJet employee's faced in those teams they had going out on Christmas Eve trying to round up all those gift's in a ~3 hour period, wrap and name each and everyone, ready to be giving when those passengers arrived. What a bloody amazing feat! Excellent marketing strategy as it probably only cost ~$100,000 verses millions in running commercials to achieve the same effect. Let the news agencies advertise for you these days.. . Why fit the bill yourself. That PR Advertising executive is a fucking genius! You could run commercials for an entire year across the globe and not achieve the same effect that this simple but very well planned out stunt achieved at a fraction of what it would cost to run advertisement's in multiply countries. Pure genius.
