But they will London service starts...

They are doing a wide body experiment, hopefully it will work out, but it could backfire on them as well, time will tell.

What's with the FOUR bomb hoaxes in a week?

Someone putting the squeeze on them for announcing the new flights?

Why not just a horse's head in a bed?

Could it be the same people BA used - allegedly -a few years ago?

Up to 5 now, another one this evening, diverted to Victoria, BC.

WestJet flight from Las Vegas to Victoria receives bomb threat - British Columbia - CBC News

Officials say they are not taking the threat as credible but taking precautions and having a dog go through the plane.

Before allowing the dog to fly it.

I feel for Westjet with these bomb hoaxes, its got to be having a massive cost impact on them.
I hope they fly from YHZ to LGW but I bet that wont happen

Yes but you are a very useful tool

I hope West Jet don't set a bad example on the flight meals so Air Transat stops serving the already tiny portion of food that they currently very generously do on their flights.

SchnookoLoly

Thanks, I think.

My guess it will be buy on board with Westjet. I don't see them offering complimentary meals, but who knows this is all a new adventure for them.

My husband's a frequent flyer Rewards Member and has yet to use Westjet's $99 companion flight within Canada and a free one to anywhere they fly so this is good news

I can't remember where I got this from but I'm sure I've read somewhere that there's a (Canadian?) rule where there has to be food included if the flight is more than 8 hours. Don't know where I read this maybe on an airline website.

I've read this rule somewhere too!

I can't imagine flying over the Atlantic without a meal or 2 to break up the monotony!

Well anything from the Ontario and East would be less then 8 hours, seem only Alberta and BC originating flights would be over 8 hours.

Winnipeg or Saskatoon might be over 8 non-stop as well.

Calgary and Edmonton on Air Canada schedule just around 8hr 40m so I'd imagine Winnipeg is below 8 hours.

Does stopping count? Westjet YYZ Glasgow is over 8 hours but makes 90 min stop in Halifax, so may not count, but do they offer free meal on that flight?

I heard that the international aviation rules require airlines to serve meals on any flights that are longer than 5 hours.
