I flew with Lynx Air, but...

- Lynx Air is Canada’s newest ultra-low-cost carrier, and started operations back in April! Now, 4 months or so later, I figured it was time I gave them another try.
This particular flight turned out to be a bit different though...

Great vid, Alex. Rather rare to be able to fly on a 737-300 these days. I hope Lynx, and the other newer Canadian ULCC's, do well. Seeing plenty of negative commentary on social media. Despite that, we seriously need credible, reliable airline competition here in Canada. Like... seriously....
It's rough for new guys. Expected to be as good as the big ones,. But no experienced staff or well tested operation practices.
Not to mention that relatively-inexperienced travellers expect to pay nothing and get everything, which isn't realistic no matter how you add it up.
😂
3:29 Only the real OG’s know this buzz like Alaska Airlines for an example.
“Lynxadian North”🤣 Alex bro🤣
Thanks for showing off lynx again!!
Wow, there was plenty of legroom there for your 6 ft 8 in frame, Alex. What fun to fly in a plane with that special livery. Love your channel.
I've flown in that exact seat on a Canadian North plane. I'm not exactly short, but my first thought watching the clip was, "Jeez, how tall *is* this guy?"
Exactly 6’8, taller than 40% of the nba
Gorgeous view of Victoria. Have to admit that I fell in love with Victoria especially with The Harbour, the mountain views and the scenery of Victoria.
What a sight! That must have been strange when you turned up and saw a 737-300. Keep up the amazing content, it’s just so enjoyable to watch your videos, I must have watched them all at this point 😅. As someone who will be moving to Canada in the next few years it’s amazing to see Canadian aviation in detail before I see it for myself. Good job Alex and as I said, Keep up the amazing content.
I also was on that Lynx inaugural back in April, and I really love Lynx Air. As I don't live in Canada, I won't be able to fly them a lot unfortunately though. Really cool you got a 737-300 swap from Canadian North!
I've flown from Edmonton to Victoria and back at least 50 times over the last 25 years and never tire of seeing the Rockies or the Gulf Islands. Heading back there 21 Sept so hoping the weather is clear so we can see the views again.
Crazy to think how many CFL players over the years have sat on that plane when it does charters for away games. Nice video as always 🙌
Awesome job Alex. You are very professional.
Great video as always Alex! That looked like a really powerful takeoff from Calgary!
I'm considering flying Lynx from Montreal to Las Vegas. Good video even though inaugrrrl for inaugyooral is grating!
Good to see the CFL Logo Jet has not been parked for good. Go Riders!
Great departure capture.
No needs to explain. B737-300 is always great to capture these days. :))) great
A beautiful day for flying and I am so glad to see you able to stretch out your legs! Happy Holidays!
I'm sure you were thrilled to enter the aircraft through the BC portal. Go Lions!
I guess your seat was in the middle of the old (and better than today's) Montreal Alouettes logo
Great video Alex, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Oo a flight to Victoria, lovely
Again nice work! Next time you are in Victoria look us up!
Nice video, great shadow of the plane on takeoff.
very sad end to lynx tho. goodbye Lynx air, its been an honour.
Very nice video, I would love to try Lynx and Canadian North! Those were some beautiful mountain views, I recently flew into YLW and YCG, and the scenery was epic!
This brings back memories as I used to fly on this exact plane weekly from CAL4/JHL to YYC. Since it’s the CFL plane I assumed the interior would be a little dressed up, but it’s just a plane with standard seats. I don’t really miss it as I now fly on a 737-700 with wifi and I find the -700 rides way better.
I’d take a classic like this any day
Great video, Alex!
I flew with Lynx Air from Toronto to Calgary last month. It was a pleasant experience! This Canadian North 737 livery looks beautiful! Great review!
This and Nolinor Allouttes livery are the best 2 in canada since air Canada dropped it's anniversaire one.
@@epicbobbing101 personally disagree, I love the WestJet 787 Dreamliner, as well as the Air Canada Fly The Flag special livery, Lynx Air’s regular livery and Nolinors livery as well.
Your flight was a lot more clear than my last one to YYJ. I got caught landing on a rainy day, views were limited until we broke through 700 ft.
Great video.
that's a pretty sweet aircraft sub.
nice trip
Lynx isnt that bad. It has pretty good room and pretty decent seating. But last time I flew the plane landed HARD on the ground.
im like 90% I seen this when I was in Calgary on July 17 at around 130-230 while waiting for my (delayed) Air Canada flight back home. I thought it was a charter for the CFL
Considering that Westjet has decided to become almost as bad as Air Canada, I hope Lynx will be a good copy of what Westjet once was.
Nice video 👍
Other companies do the same including WestJet and Canadian North
Flair had done the same thing a few months ago 😂😂
Lucky on the seating Alex 👍🏻... and sexy sneakers ...sorry had to say it 😏
So quick how they expanded Winnipeg/Toronto/Halifax
Wow, much better than the crappy MAX!
Haha. ULCC's for the win, once again.
8:35 "The Encore spots its prey, and prepares to attack."
Aand it's gone
RIP Lynx
Hi Alex....a bit of a Segway....but can you tell me the 4th language on the safety card ?
I recognise English and French.....I presume one is also Inuit, would you know what the 4th one is ?
I ask, because I live in Australia.
that looks like an alien language lmao
Both the the third and 4th are Inuktitut written in syllabics and then romanized.
What's the reason for not showing the exact date of travel? It would seem that people on the flight would know that you are filming.
Cool... Interesting... What day did you fly? I had quite a nasty connection through Calgary that we had to sprint from the d gates to the a gates.
With the CFL plane is it a little wider, a little longer, a few more people and have some weird rules? 😁
Is it me or did I notice quite a steep departure out of Calgary. It seemed like you went almost straight up after lifting off the runway.
5:48 the plane clearly isn't filled to the brim, so couple that with a short 90min flight time and you have a rocket departure
Great video! Is there any concern that with Boeing late on delivering the Max that they'll cut corners on safety and proper building of the aircraft?
....as long as it's not a Partenavia or a Piper Vagabond.....
i’d bet $100 flair would’ve just cancelled the flight instead of chartering 🙃
What was the fare?
I booked in May for a round trip from Toronto to Calgary. I think it was about 250 one way for an end of July flight.
Welcome to the future of flight. I suspect 99% of the tickets sold on commercial air carriers soon enough will follow this model even amongst the biggies like Air Canada and Westjet who will continue to see a drop off in business travel as digital services and private charters eat into their market share amongst those more lucrative segments...
Second comment!
This is one of the worst airline ever.
I just them on a roundtrip and both flights were delayed and this is every scheduled flight the same. You book the flight and when it’s confirmed, you get an email of the delayed flight. First flight was delayed 2 hours without notification, the second one was delayed by 4 hours and then canceled and then pushed back 2 days.
If they safe on personal they safe on maintenance too, and a not well maintained
Aircraft might show up on the news one day.
Never ever use this Airline-they stole $300 off my family.
My daughters flight got delayed 3 days in a row during latest Christmas storms and eventually she had to come by car. We never gave up the return but the airline cancelled it and to reinstate it charged us another 300 dollars .Basically they use fine print contingency to rip people off and have absolutely no ethics!The sooner they are out of business the better-please people don't touch them they are a cheap con and will hit you somewhere whether financial or delays or lack of reporting-maybe all 3!!!!
Lynx is the worst airline guys.
WORST EXPERIENCE with WORST AIRLINE named LYNX.
The same problems for all new airlines, not enough money to stay the long term and never enough aircraft, any problems with crew or aircraft and bingo, they cancel your flight! They simply are not reliable as an alternative to the big guys. They need to take a page out of Breeze airways in the US.
I had 2 flights of this airline. I regretted it twice. the delay was more than 3 hours, but they fix a delay of 2 hours 50 minutes by sending a message to the post office. at that time I was on the plane and told my spouse that I was very late. I arrived very late because of which I had to take a taxi and also pay for late check-in. the airline company refuses to compensate for the damage. there were also a lot of problems with the flight delay on the return flight. rudeness at the reception. they didn't want to register me and another woman with a child. just a terrible aviation company, I do not advise using it. the most negative emotions and a spoiled vacation
1:16 Why did you censor the flight date?
Great Video Alex
It hard to hear that kind of electronic voice.
Best departure angle ever.
Well you paid for a flight from Calgary to Victoria and they got you there and explained the plane change. seems pretty up front and you got there safe and on time !!! What else should you expect ???
