6/17/2023 0 Comments Image plus winnipeg reviews![]() ![]() We had our first flight cancelled on us in September 2022. There have been a few delays by less than an hour, but this can happen with any airline. We have flown on Swoop Airlines at least a dozen times without cancellation. I would advise that if you’re choosing to fly on Swoop, ensure you’re flying to a regularly serviced destination by other airlines (like WestJet or Air Canada), so that if this does happen to you, at least you might have a shot at getting there or getting home. This is usually due to unscheduled maintenance or not enough staff, resulting in several unexpected flight cancellations.Īnd since they don’t have a big enough fleet right now, they haven’t been able to offer new flights on the same day. Swoop airline has been getting a lot of bad press lately for how they handle flight delays and cancellations. Tip – bring this travel blanket & pillow combo for the ultimate comfort on these planes. If you’re not sure how much your bag weighs, try this luggage scale for peace of mind.Īnd you can pack it with you to make sure your bag isn’t too full after everything you’ve bought on your trip □ No joke, they made the woman in front of us remove three pounds of stuff from her bag to get down to the 50 pound limit. So you can either remove items or pay the $100 CAD overweight baggage fee. They will not allow you to bring a bag heavier than this. Just make sure your bag does not weigh more than the 50 pound limit. On the way home we brought back extra items so we decided to check the bags. On the way to Las Vegas we used our bags as carry on because we wanted to hit the Strip as soon as possible and not wait for the baggage carousel. We decided to pay for a carry on bag on the way to Las Vegas and a checked bag for flying home. I have since flown on the airline over a dozen times and have provided updates where possible.įor our flight, a checked bag was the same price as a carry-on bag. *This post was originally written after my first time flying on Swoop in 2019. I have flown on Swoop Airline over a dozen times from within Canada and to the United States and to Mexico (to Las Vegas and Puerto Vallarta).Ī quick Google search will show Swoop reviews with comments from travelers complaining about cancellations, unscheduled maintenance, delays, horrible customer service and so on.Īre these reviews legitimate? Is it really that bad? Is Swoop reliable? To answer these questions, here’s my experience and honest review of flying on Swoop airline. Swoop Airline launched in 2018 and was WestJet’s answer to compete with Flair Airlines, which launched in 2017. While Canada’s response to the growing demand of discount airlines has been slow, rough and plagued with bad reviews, they’re still hanging on. ![]() To summarize my Swoop airline review in one sentence, it would be this: As long as you know what you’re getting into, if you’re a ‘go-with-the-flow’ type of traveler and you want to save as much money as possible on your flight, you will have a good experience on Swoop.Īs the number of international travelers grows year over year, so will the demand for cheaper flights.Īnd it’s no secret that Canada is one of the most expensive countries to fly in and fly to.įor example, it’s cheaper for me to fly to Amsterdam and Bali than it is within some parts of my own country (Halifax, I’m coming for you one day).
