Flying Flair Airlines ACROSS CANADA! 737-800 Edmonton to Toronto
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Back in January, I had the chance to try out Flair Airlines on one of their longer flights, from Edmonton to Toronto, with their 737-800.
I've only ever flown with Flair on shorter flights (less than 2 hours) before this, so I was curious to see what they had to offer on this 3.5 hour flight!

Alex… just a tip from a flight crew member… in the future to save some money bring the dry soup with you that you can buy in the store for 30 or 40 cents and then just ask for a cup of hot water to add to the soup. We would never charge for just hot water. Oh… in don't forget to bring a spoon as well.
Ha! Great tip, sir. Now, can you help me out with some other things I would love to sneak through the "free physical exam" from airport security? The airlines never serve enough with meals, such as: salad dressing, salt, pepper, hot sauce, and butter? The rolls are dry as cement. There is not enough salad dressing for even a bite. The salt, pepper, and hot sauce are just there to give flavor to the main dish. Any help would be much appreciated.
Missed a big opportunity to say “in flairness” around 5:55 mark
Well in flairness would you really think he would put that joke in there.
Thank-you Alex for your succinct, yet very informative review of your Flair Airlines flight review. Indeed, what you pay is what you get, and I have absolutely no problem with those who wish to travel in this manner. I can see how convenient this type of travel is for those only wanting to make a day trip somewhere or travel to where their clothing and personal items are already available. Pretty much, you all have a very nice flying bus.
I did think it was very nice for the flight attendant to provide you with the free soup. I also think it is great that the airline pulled up to a jet bridge for boarding and deplaning rather than park on the tarmac somewhere that would have exposed you to the elements. At least that small perk keeps the passengers out of the elements, which comes in handy during inclement weather and during the winter. Furthermore, when it is cold, passengers can pack their winter coats instead of doing hand-to-hand in the confined aisle of an aircraft when taking them off and redonning them.
Except for that green livery, Flair Airlines seems to be an incredible convenience for Canadian travel. My only problem is being tall and the aircraft having a limited number of seats with extra leg room. I would have to limit my flights to less than an hour without the extra room.
Again sir, thank-you very much for your review. I’m looking forward to your next post.
Never been disappointed in the many airlines I've flown or aircraft such as 727s, Dc-9s, Embraer 195, 737s since the 1970s. Just put me on a plane and I'm happy and not particular.
Not having a power outlet at each seat is really unfortunate. That is one of the big things I look for these days.
In 2011 this was not that common.
Yes, it would be nice, but it won't be the reason people will pay hundreds more to fly with air canada or west jet.
Flair Airlines? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Great trip report! The Sky Interior makes the cabin look very nice. It's very generous of the FA to give you a free cup noodle
Canada's #1 aviation reviewer
indeed now i like his reviews
also Canada's only aviation reviewer haha
@@KSharp320 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAJAJAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Nice to see this new airline doing well. Their new order of aircraft should make things interesting in Alberta.
Great trip report As always Alex
he my favorite
That's funny because when I fly out of Edmonton, I always turn left after security instead of right! The only time I ever turned right was when I flew out of gate 49.
When America opens up again can you please do a review on Southwest airlines I have flown Southwest my entire life and it would be interesting to see what you think of them
Yeah I heard there good
I have used Southwest a number of times. I think it's damned good. No frills, but pretty high quality of service. Certainly better than most of its competitors.
Highly recommended.
@@silverbullet700 Hope your being sarcastic...
@@silverbullet700 it's for real, sir.
Larry Fletcher it’s most definitely not
I heard one person say buying food & drinks on a Flair flight was cheaper than the airport stores. I googled Flair the other day and it came up as No #1 Canadian carrier with the most complaints, but in actual experience I've heard passengers complain way more about A.C. I heard Porter offers free food & drinks but you're also paying a bit more for the fair. I think nowadays in 2023 all airlines are charging for the checked baggage except the one you carry on able to fit underneath the seat.
I guess if you just want the basics from point A to B with no frills then this would be the perfect airline for it. Not for me but I still appreciate your efforts in the production of this video. Thanks for taking us along and looking forward to your next flight.
Indeed sir! I long for the days when the airlines competed with service and not ticket prices.
But this is the only chance to fly one of the last jets from Air Berlin in North America. Most of the Airbus-Jets went to Easyjet, the better once (Boeing 737-700 and 800) went all to Asia or Africa.
Awesome vid always wanted to see how flair air was like to see if it's a good option
Flew with them twice last year and once this year a few weeks ago. They are an awesome airline. They offer a lot of value over the other two airlines and their staff, especially the flight crew are super friendly. I really don't know why they aren't more popular. This isn't like jetsgo and zip and all those weird startups from the past that all failed.
Their older 737's had some really old interiors but I think they sold them all and now just have the new 800's which are nice. They seem to have it together for the most part and I can actually afford to see family and friends who are scattered across the country. I wished they had more destinations but recently they added some big ones. Finally going into Sask which is where most of my family is. Hoping they continue to grow and keep the prices low
Hi Alex
My family and I had a flight last year with Flare from Edmonton to Vancouver on August 22/2019. Upon arriving at the airport 11:30am for a 1:30pm they told us there will be 7 hour flight delay with no apologies and a take or leave attitude. It turn out to be a 8 hour delay. We finally took off at 9:35pm. We will never fly Flare again.
Glad to see Flair gaining ground and adding more planes to their fleet. Canada def needs more (way more) airline competition. I hope they continue to grow and gain market share. More competition = better pricing/options for Canadian travelers. I will definitely give Flair a try once it's safe to travel again.
Great video Alex but one small correction. Flair also accepts debit cards with the credit card logo such as Visa Debit. Did a flight from Toronto to Vancouver in January and paid for my meal with my Visa Debit
Thanks for another great informative vid. Probably going to try Flair this September. :)
Great video but petition to bring back the music from the Atlanta flight!
What a beautiful airline. So affordable and I don't expect the full service from an ultra low cost carrier like Flair. Their service is far more better than full service carriers.
Nice vid, you should do sun country airlines at some point
Used to visit Minneapolis regularly from Florida so I flew Sun Country a lot, in the wrong direction sort of
Great video Alex. I think you were watching "The Office" on Netflix? lol.
Ik I saw that as well. You could see it was the opening credits playing lol.
Looking forward to our one way flight in Sept. Toronto to Edmonton.
I think their livery is very smart.
Can’t get enough of this livery!
Hi Alex
I forgot mention, I do enjoy your videos.
Thank you.
Good show.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
5:40 love that show
Theres alot of complainers in the comments be thankful Canada made cheap airline prices.alot of country's don't do that.as long as it gets you to your destination and your safe there should be no complaining.thank you flair for making this happen for Alberta I appreshiate it
Must be amazing to fly on an Air Berlin jet again. I always loved the 737-800 in their fleet, even prefered the 737 before the Airbus when I booked flights.
They offer flights to winnipeg
In fact winnipeg is a focus city
During Covid they weren't, it was just YVR, YEG, YYC, and YYZ. But I see they're returning to Winnipeg on the 16th, with a multi-stop routing YYZ-YWG-YYC-YLW.
Nice landing if you don't mind that you're now 1 inch shorter. I don't speak Canadian, so you'll have to covert one inch into millimeters yourself.
5:40. Opening to the office I bet!
Just booked a flight for 3 from YKF to YYC at less than 1/3 the cost of WJ & AC. I can do without the extras for the savings alone. This will be my first of hopefully many flights with them.
How was your flight?
@@EvaKNF It’s not until July so hopefully a lot of the bs is behind us!
Great video thanks for the info Alex!
“After a bit of waiting” goes from probably 5:00 am to 10:00 am 💀
Hi Alex. Love your videos. Your videos are watched around the globe. Therefore....could you please slow a bit down in talkingspeed...I really want to listen to you but mostly it's too fast😁. Not all of your followers (like myself) talk English as a native language. So we try to keep up with you but....thx..🙏
He has actual captions you can use
As someone who learned Spanish as a second language, I fully understand. Nevertheless, you do write English very well.
Woooo!!!!
Nice video. They probably made more money off your food than they would have made on a regularly priced ticket.
You have badass airports in Canada. 😎
Alex, my only comment is that BRUDHETTA is an Italian food, pronounced BRU-SKETTA , not Bru chetta !
Great video. Thanks for the information...
Interesting to see how the lcc market develops in Canada. I think they're a reasonable product for a quick jump...but 4+ hours across the country seems a bit much for me.
i flew 5 hours to Vancouver from Toronto
You know you fly a lot when you know exactly where Alex is the entire video. Lol 😂 #YEG
I can't wait too see Flair Airlines add New Seat Plug Power & Flat Screen TV's on the back of each seat onboard the Plane they'll expand for sure.
great video!
Flair is such an easy airline and it’s a really good airline I work at Toronto Pearson as a rampage and I hope you enjoyed your favourite flower or flower flights good?
Pra que cobrir a cara das pessoas..elas estão num ambiente publico.bom video.boa imagem
Hi Alex. May I ask what camera you use. Enjoy your presentations. Cheers
Was gonna try Flair this summer going to Ottawa from YEG but than covid came in 😔
RIP i wanna go on it too
Really great job!
And now the same company is trying to establish a similar airline in Australia called bonza!
Top Top Top Top Top Top
You are the next Sam Chui!
Sébastien Frechette LOL 😆
sebastien Frechette LOL he will be the next but Sam of canada
Out of the two ULCC of Flair and Swoop, which one do you prefer?
Please Can You FLy From YVR TO KOA and do a trip report. I would loveeeee for this to happen
FYI just flown Ryanair this week no more cash !!
Nice
Sounds like a big "bus" with wings...:) But i guess if you want "basic" transportation you get what you pay for...in my opinion.
Alex, just wondering if the regular seating is okay for you or me ? I'm 6'6" tall.. Would I be uncomfortable in a "regular "seat?
Thanks for sharing Alex...
This plane was Nok Air Thailand 🇹🇭 before.
Who ever names Flait Airlines really missed the chance to call it’s Flair Air
Hey you seem to be a big fan of flying, so I have a question. Could you maybe fly into Grand Forks, ND sometime? I flew into there on a connecting flight from Minneapolis in January when I was going up there to see family. It's a small airport, but I thought it was a really nice airport and city. Flying from MSP to there is just under an hour or roughly an hour. I want your thoughts. Flew into there on Delta just btw.
Edit: Added to the comment
Thanks for this! My husband and I flew Swoop from Edmonton - Hamilton and found it to be similarly suitable for a quick cross-country trip. The only problem is we live in Calgary - when do you think we might see more low-cost carriers flying in and out of Calgary as well?
Can you please do a sun wing video
G R E E N
how why Edmonton airport have little runway on the map
I can see you watching The Office
when you checked in, were you able to pick a seat without extra cost
Ryanair doesn’t accept cash only contactless payement
Very interesting!
new phone who dis
Gee I hate the term LOW COST, there are no LOW COST CARRIERS in Canada, still enjoy your vids, just wish you were more critical of airlines in general, most are not very good
Why the blurred out faces when traveling on public transport?
IDK
lol the landing tho
Zazur airport
Filmed this past winter?
Is this company legit? How can they charge so little?
A BIG NO NO !! worst experience in my entire life. Montreal to Toronto. OMG everything is broke, not clean and at the furthest part of the airport (that ok ... its a low cost) but it's another that add up...
they certainly didnt have flair in picking liveries.... jesus...
I dont like the aircraft, check out the dreamliner eco class, so advance and much more leg space. I know if you travel frequently then you have to watch the ticket prize and then low-cost airlines are a valuable alternative to the big ones. Worst airline in in Canada is AirCanada!!!
Will Flair be flying to LAX soon ?
Hi Alex. I really like your videos. You offer smart and real information. I’m now at Yyz. I will love to have your input and opinion. My goal is to take all my customers comments and work on them one at a time. Please contact me for a great conversation. Once again, appreciate the video and comments. Both positive and otherwise. Thank you. Sharon.
Estes macarroes em copo.fazem mal
Sorry but if the company you are reviewing paid for your trip, you have zero credibility. You have zero credibility.
BTW: I'm from The Netherlands..
Leuk je te ontmoeten! I'm from America, but did work in Belgium for a year. One of my favorite places to visit was Keukenhof. By the way, although I was not able to visit as much of Europe as I wanted, the Netherlands had the nicest people I have met when I lived there.
First!!!
Oh my god flair is the worst in Canada, along with porter and air transat
Bought and paid for review.
Imagine being 6'5" and given extra legroom seat for free from Flair lol
Biased review? YOU BET lol I bet he loves free airline tickets. How many do you think they give him if he tells the honest truth? NONE... and Alex knows it. Lost all credibility with me when I learned he gets free rides from the airline.
First!!
