Is THIS Canada’s WORST Airline? | Toronto to Vancouver | Flair Airlines | Boeing 737 MAX 8
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2024
- Flair Airlines has become the juggernaut of low-cost travel in Canada since their inception in 2005. They started off as a charter airline, and have slowly built up their low-cost brand for cheap flights to, from, and within Canada. In today’s video, I tested out their domestic service flying flying across the country from Toronto to Vancouver. What was it like? Was it really as bad as some may say, or was the flight problem-free? Watch the video to find out, and make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you haven’t already!

I'm a frequent flyer and have been buffeted about by most major carriers. It's odd, that of all the times I have flown Flair, to Kelowna, to Fort Lauderdale, to Vancouver etc. etc. their flights have been on time and the inflight service very pleasant. I think they are doing a great job and seeing as what they have to put up with from our two major carriers, they have blossomed and are establishing themselves as a low-cost carrier. Like any low-cost airline, follow the rules, know what to expect and you will not be disappointed. Bravo Flair, keep up the good work.
I agree on all those points, you fly low cost, you know what you are getting into and should not be disappointed. My first flight and return home went perfectly. They did however cancel another flight on me the day before and it took a long time to get a refund. That as my last flight with them.
Ice 711 is willing to do whatever it takes to entertain us, even if it takes going on a mid airline. Thank you for the information
No problem! Love giving these honest reviews.
@@ice711real Good afternoon from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I've never flown flair before, so it's great getting to know what they are like. Personally, I've been aboard westjet, air canada, korean air, asiana airlines, and jeju airlines.
@@ice711real bro I have a great idea for merch if u ever do it. You send out a model plane every month (secret) along with like a sticker/ other aviation related item.
10:33 Bro is enjoying his flair flight a lil too much lmao
SUPSNAIL?
Hi

Supersnailboy!
Let’s take a minute to appreciate Ice traveling, booking flights, and spending hours editing just to give us some content. W 🗿❤
Greatly appreciate comments like these :)
W ice (heres some free snacks btw 🥛🍿🍱)
Great video as always ice! love to see you checking out more canadian airlines 😊
I want Lynx air back😑
It was too young to die.
We need more low cost carriers in Canada
Gotta love it when ice 711 uploads
34 secs ago???
Even more to come soon ;)
@@ice711real YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
i was here whit a q400 aircanada now im in montreal quebec
@@ice711realI am late sorry
Respect to ice for going on a lot of airlines for our likeness :)
Glad you appreciate the variety :)
@@ice711real :)
thanks for sharing the experience in this video. I have yet to fly flair but have always liked their pricing and though it too good to be true thinking you are giving up quality and comfort for cheap price. Maybe will have the courage to give it a try one day.
This is probably the best airline review on RUclips!
Good Job Ice!
Haha despite the few errors in this video, thank you so much!
Lovely video as always! The airline reviews are always my favorite! 🎉
Glad you enjoy them, more to come soon this year!
@@ice711real nice!
great trip report again, just getting better :)
Thanks Ice 711. I`m flying Flair Toronto to Victoria in early June. Good to know what to expect. So far so good.
I love your channel, probably my favorite!
People complain because they want 1st class service with Emirates for $150.... Canadians need to be educated on what a low cost flight is, you pay that price don't expect anything other than a seat. They'll bill you for everything else, which makes sense..... Nice video !
Loving the flight reviews!
Nice flight and review! Thats also pretty cool you flew over where I live in Vernon BC, I can clearly see my house and where I work from your video! Neat stuff!! I have flown on the Max myself and have no issues with that aircraft at all, those Leap engines sure are quiet 737 Whisper liner :)
Wow, that’s awesome to hear you’re from Vernon! The MAX is indeed fairly impressive, thanks for watching :D
Wsg ice? Once tried to send art into your channel just because I knew how good it was. You doin’ well
idk about you guys, but i love flying early in the morning
Same
Fr I have a flight with southwest in a few weeks and I have to be at the airport in the afternoon and I hate that😭😭
And return to your home country or State in the night
Decent flight for an airline that has horrible reviews. Great job again, thanks for going through (no) pain and showing us Flair's service!
Awesome Vid! Keep the great content up!
TARTAR SAUCE
Much appreciated :)
Nice review. Thanks. The flight seems decent and for a lower price.
I flew Edmonton to Vegas last month. Plane was a little tight for leg room, but overall wasn't a bad experience. I'd fly Flair again.
0:28 train content 😮
Nice video like always
Another great video 👍
This is a wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing! The views of the Rockies are spectacular, I enjoy them as much as my actual time spent in Vancouver. And your landing approach is beautiful, you would have flown over Iona Regional Beach, which has a jetty that goes about 4 km into the water. Stand at the right spot and the planes fly right over! Always fun to wave planes in for a safe landing! Thanks for your great work!
Thanks for watching man, glad you enjoyed!
I love your videos bro keep on going
Love the narration to your video.
Thank you a lot mate!
This trip report was probably my favorite. You didn't fly on a major airline and still had a good experience! Loved the engine view :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey I have had a nice experience with flair back last year, this was a soothing and good experience. It works great. Especially with the cheaper prices and decent cost.
These are the best types of vids defo should do more
My experience: Stranded me in Orlando. Could either wait for 3 days for a possibility to get on the next flight, or get a refund. Took the refund and paid 4x the price for a last minute ticket on another airline. There were people stranded there who'd already been waiting for 3 days. Zero communication to passengers.
Great video!
My nephew and his family flew with Flair to and from Puerto Vallarta and they were very satisfied they had no complaints.
Flew on them in march 2023 other than a 1 hour delay coming out of Toronto (to be expected when flying out of Pearson) and my flight and seat feeling crammed because it was full. However at the end of the day I am
6”1 so most seats feel crammed but the flight really wasn’t that bad 7/10
Pearson is the culprit in most airlines reviews..from landing fees to other issues.
I love your videos keep it up❤💪
good video ice ♥
I’ve flown flair four times before I have no complaints. all flights left in time arrive on time or early but one flight left half hour late from Kitchener to Vancouver but arrived early got a good jet stream 😊 smooth landings too
bro's risking his life for content 💀jk my fav aircraft design of all time is 737s. I feel sad to see the max aircrafts having failures and bad rep 😢
Oh hey my favourite plane is also the 737
But I prefer the NGs than the max
Yeah i like the 737 800 ng than the 737 max 8 but its just my opinion so dont get mad. If you like ng you are cool classics,max also cool.
@@captainbas7803 I’m only 13 but have already flown on the 737-800 more than 20 times. It’s also the only plane ever flew on in my entire life. I fly with XiamenAir just to Fuzhou and back to Singapore to visit my grandparents fyi
Bruh i am going on it today
I personally prefer the 757 and A321neo.
Really good video here. I wish the camera focused better on prices for the menu items. I was interested in seeing the options and costs . And I am sorry if I missed the time , in air , from Toronto to Vancouver
Amazing content dude :D
Great video. I’ll try Flair sometime 👍👍👍
Great Video!
5:05 Bro The Little Air Canada Express Plane Though!
SO CUTE!
Little-ish? They’re 75 seaters.
What and amazing views you had! The planes are quite new - so the windows aren't scratched yet, so it's easier to film. I had a good experience with them on a flight to/from FLL - once I was onboard. Accept my return flight was 4 hours delayed and they owe me $400 for that. They confirmed that amount, but are slow with paying. That flight was at the end of January. Thanks for the great video. How much did you pay for this ticket?
Nice video!
Great vid as always Ice! The scenery was 🔥👌 Just out of curiosity, what editing software do you use for your videos?
I use Inshot, thanks for watching!
Hey i was there just a week ago and boy isn't canada nice! I also railfanned the up express and went planespotting at Toronto pearson and got some grate catches!
Nice man!
@@ice711real I went planespotting at Toronto for my 1k subscribers special and I did see a flair!
Flair isn't so bad after all. Nice flight and, oh, man, the culinary review of the Ramen noodles was way up there with the best of food critics!
Can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not lol
I'm getting anxious just listening to the revs on take off
I've only been on Flair once and it was absolutely perfect. I'm worried Flair is the only economical airline left so prices might rise if they haven't already. Thank you Flair and Swoop for allowing me to explore Canada on a budget.
We gotta get more of these
Flair saved our bacon 2 years ago when West Jet (WJ) canceled our flight while we were waiting to board US bound. Once we were advised of the cancelation and marched out through customs we attempted to contact WJ but placed on hold, no one was there. No alternative flights were offered by WJ. Luckily we found a flight on Flair the next day. This week we had to cancel WJ due to potential strike. Flair is our last remaining true low cost airline. Flying Flair is no worse than the other airlines, they can all leave you behind.
Damn even I don't fly on low-cost airlines but this video is like a full experience
Bro really out here risking his life on a max for content 🗣️🗣️🗣️nah but massive w review always awesome when you upload one, interesting the amount of stuff they had for buy on board. Views were just 🤩 and it’s cool to see the diversity of Canadian aviation
Thx for watching brothah, risked my life fr on this one
I appreciate Ice711 that you are now taking interest in Canadian airlines, I am a big Canada fan. And I don't know why people give so low reviews on low cost airlines because in the end, it gets you to where you wan't to go.
Glad you guys enjoy the variety! Even more Canadian content to come this year, and hopefully some more international content soon…
Hey man! I just wondered: when is the big aircraft tournament gonna be? Take your time, this is not an insult, I don't wanna stress you
0:58 those flooring give me memories when I traveled to Japan when I was 6
Good video!
Yes I knew it was flair! Btw I hope you get more subs
Can you plss fly to yhz- Halifax stanfeild international airport (great vid btw)
my first ever VOD from him
Woah Vancouver! SO cool nice video
Glad you liked it!
Best channel
Wake up babe! A new video by ICE711 has uploaded!!
I like that part when you got on the train to the airport
I love these type of videos. (Also I'm also new to aviation arts and you haven't seen my art for a while before)
Nice vid :)
Never been there but looks awesome
Nice video!
I would love to see more irl videos!
I’ve got plenty more raw footage to sift through from my travels just so far this year, with even more irl content to come!
@@ice711real nice!
Evening from Manila, Philippines! You are so lucky on going there
I love the Max for it's lower noise and fantastic windows compared to the legacy NG. I flew with Westjet on this plane a couple weeks ago.
I rode flair airlines recently 2 weeks ago on the 737 max 8 from YYZ-YVR roundtrip
Your channel is really nice. Really enjoyed the video. Dont mind me saying this...but there are a few spelling mistakes in the video. I never saw any mistakes in your video...maybe thats what made it even more noticeable. However,mistakes can happen. Cheers!😊😊🎉
Thanks for watching!
When is your next rating art video? PS love ur vids❤
I have always been hesitant to fly with them due to their reputation but since Covid things have gotten better for flair and porter, maybe they can actually make a good run at it this time. It’s hard to rely on them when you have another connecting flight same day in case but I’m hoping soon to give them a shot
Nice ❤
I’ve flown them only once, but had an experience just like yours, on-time flight, efficient and polite service, decent space and good price, so what else can we ask for? In contrast, my last 5 flights with Air Canada I had 4 long delays and one cancellation, all of them with rude flight attendants. I don’t even bother with them anymore
I live in the Rockies and you would’ve flown right over my house
I also was in Toronto for the summer and I went to exact airport and that union shop I went shopping there
Nice!
3:44 i think someone has vioated 💀
i love when ice711 uploads a video.
I took Flair from Kelowna to Calgary and I didn't think it was necessarily good, but not bad either. It took me to my destination and back with no issue. But it was practically what you'd expect from a budget airline. The seats were quite crammed and I was stuck besides some random elderly couple and felt way too packed in with them lmao.
I have flown a bunch between YYZ and YVR. Overall it doesn't really matter the airline you fly, a much more important aspect is the aircraft. When presented with the oppurtunity its usually best to fly on Air Canada's A330. 2-4-2 plus 18 inch seat width is generally the best config.
I am South Korean and I am really enjoying your videos because it is fun and very informative one day i hope you can fly Asiana airlines to South Korea and fly other low cost airlines there and compare it to US or Canadas. Thank you very much for your videos!!
Thanks for watching! Would love to visit your beautiful country sometime 🇰🇷
Flown several times with Flair, they aren't any worse than Air Canada for service. They have financial issues which could cause them interruptions. These days any airline is a gamble.
I Love your channel
I will love If I could Fly Like u❤
Porter is just better 🔥
Great video as always Ice!
Lol thanks
I just learnt that I’m going on a flight next year!
Not sure where tho
Ice is on a roll here
insert vine boom sound effect every time the briefing says safety (737 max🥶)
Yeah the 737 max has safety procedures in order to ensure it’s a safe plane
No issues from yyz to ysj & back. They sell a nice craft beer on board 👍
Nice vid
Ice is the GOAT for trying these thingz so we don't got to
Yeah, it's a nice flight but the walk back is gonna be wicked!
Spirit of Canada
Now that’s funny
Nice video
Vancouver? So close, yet so far... this is really the first time I've seen a good flair experience on RUclips
Bro went on the worst airline just for a video, now that’s dedication 👍
Canada looks amazing ngl
