Re: Swoop Airline
 
Swoop won the fight in Abbotsford, Flair announcing its pulling service, also sounds like Westjet/Swoop might have been doing some predatory pricing to push Flair out.

"Swoop unveiled a so-called loonie sale earlier this month, offering up to 100,000 seats for a base fare of $1 before taxes and fees. The sale disproportionately targets Edmonton-to-Abbotsford, which Swoop points out is its highest-frequency route."

I have now flown 3 times (return journeys so 6 flights in total) with Zoom. No issues with any flight at all. Flair seems to have changed some of their routes and their prices seem to have risen as a result. I think if you know you have booked a budget flight and you know yo have to add on baggage and food then it's all good.

Flair is chasing a losing battle really, actually surprised they have held on this long.

Which is a shame as I enjoyed my flights with them, as much as I enjoy flying, their cabin crew were fab.
