For those Canadians who have flown West Jet to Cancun, what were your experiences? Did you have any in-flight entertainment? Food? Beer? Good service? We usually fly Air Canada, but this time West Jet was cheaper and had much better flight times.

free pop , snacks, coffe, satellite TV (in Canada (not over the US)
Movies, food, beer are $$ via credit card
Only charters (Sunwing/Transat) give free food
Otherwise I like Westjet
However their prices this year are so $$$$$
Even Beachey is thinking about going AC

I agree VSD, Westjet is pricey. I have been looking for a cheap flight out of Vancouver

We chose Westjet this time because it was cheaper (from YYZ). Looks like in the west , AC is cheaper. Hmmmm.

West Jet gives shares in the company to all its employees so they are invested in its success.......if West Jet does well...so do they. I also find the attendants very friendly and funny on West jet.
I like flying West Jet but to go down south I really prefer Sunwing...love that they still give a hot meal...free glass of wine with your meal...sparkling wine on take off to toast your trip and a free movie. Their attendants are always fun and friendly also.

We use WJ out west due to the direct flights out of Kelowna and the price (eg. $199 one way on Dec 8/rtn 339... woohoo!). I am not as negative on AC as some. Their inflight entertainment (free) just won an award...on our flight home from Europe in Sept, they even had season 1 of Game of Thrones from HBO plus two seasons of Big Bang Theory!!! The last 2 flights on WJ my screen did not work and we were advised to kick the box under the seat until something happened...nothing did.
I also just wrote a complaint note to WJ about my pet peeve: their non enforcement of the carry on rules: Excerpt: "I am not allowed to bring a 110 ml container of sunscreen on board nor a sealed water bottle for "security" reasons yet numerous people carried on 4 - 750 ml bottles of booze in glass from the duty free...WTH?????" Got a form letter in reply in spite of them being out of compliance with every element of their own carry on policy on every flight I was on in 2012. Don't get me started....So much for the customer service model. Plus several flights were late with no explanation. So they ain't perfect.

I always fly Westjet unless their pricing is way out in left field. Air Canada staff are too miserable and seem to forget they are in the service industry. I have never had a bad Westjet experience, ever. Air Canada on the other hand is more often than not. Just my experience.

Westjet lost one of our suitcases this trip. 
To their credit, they did find it and it arrived at our condo a day and a half later. Westjet has a missing baggage website but it isn't terribly useful to tell what the heck is going on with it - still showing the same status as when we reported it missing. 
Even their baggage agent at CUN had no idea it was on its way this morning (came on the first YYZ-CUN flight this morning so it was in the air when I spoke to him - btw, he spoke excellent English).
By the looks of it my suitcase went YYZ to parts unknown, parts unknown back to YYZ, and finally to CUN (it missed the last YYZ-CUN flight yesterday).
From the time it reached CUN, it took about 8 hours to get to Akumal - I expect the baggage service has scheduled runs to places along the RM so it had to wait for the next one. No matter, I was on the beach with a cold cerveza for most of that time!
