Dang!! That sounds like a super rough time. I remember hearing about how parts of the airport were literally falling apart because of the sudden hailstorm but i didn't know it was that bad. I think i actually remember this storm since other surrounding towns were also affected by it. I remember hearing that a bunch of flights were grounded too. Also that's really messed up that Westjet didn't bother to try and compensate for anything. The fact there were probably hundreds if not thousands of people all dealing with similar situations it's messed up that Westjet didn't try to compensate at all. (I ended up reading up more and seeing if there's any policy for people to get compensated when bad weather is involved and it's messed up that airlines can get away with putting people in limbo like this. ) Also i've been getting more travel videos and flight reviews being recommended to me, and seeing as this one involved a city and airport near me I was curious to see for sure! Also EDIT: Stephanie came in clutch!!
Bruh, i can't tell if the craziest part was you sharing seats with McKenna Grace, the hail, ceiling falling down at the airport, your flight being cancelled multiple times, WestJet's poor management or you becoming friends with a girl that ended up setting up a room for the both of you. Crazy crazy video, this has been one of my favourites hahaha (hope you are feeling better now
Your flight was cancelled because Calgary had the worst hailstorm in it's history, causing a billion $ in damages and literally collapsing the roof of the airport, not because WestJet 'felt like it'. Not to mention all the planes that were damaged from the hail which were literally unsafe to fly, and are costing the airlines millions. I'm a customer service agent (with a different airline) at YYC, I wish people had more grace and realise there are human beings behind all of this, and working non-stop to help people. There were literally thousands of people who were affected that day and rebooking them on the next day or two days sometimes just isn't possible because there are enough empty seats on other flights or aircraft sitting around to put people on
@@trishat9335 I mention this more than once throughout the video that I understood that it wasn’t actually any individuals persons fault. I was more just frustrated with the practices as a whole from WJ. I’m not mad at the individuals who work within the company, I know it’s not them. I’ve worked in a similar industry, so I know the feeling of being berated for something that isn’t actually your fault. However, I’m definitely allowed to feel my feelings regarding the matter (as long as i don’t take it out on anyone, which i did not). I’m new to travel, I’m 18 with not an abundance of disposable income to be using with no end date in sight, and to be honest was a little scared, and I was hitting every roadblock imaginable with absolutely 0 communication. I never blamed anyone individually, and I was nothing but gracious to those who DID help at the end. (I still never actually figured out what happened to my second flight, i’m assuming it was due to damages? it wasn’t weather the 2nd time around. Maybe you know why and can clear that up for me) but I think you misunderstood my general frustration and fear with it being an attack on the people, which it wasn’t. I appreciate you giving your insight on it, another perspective is always needed in situations like these
Many of westjets planes got damaged as this is the hub of Westjet so for weeks following they had to cancel flights due to planes now needing maintenance. I dont believe they have to compensate you for flight cancelled or delayed by weather. Its more of a if your airline is nice they will. Westjet changed in the last few years and has gotten more greedy including the strike not too long ago.
Yeah it was a bit unfortunate overall. I never did find out why my second flight got cancelled... Probably plane damages? It just kind of sucked to have to pay so much out of pocket :( I was really hoping they'd compensate...

You should sue WJ in court. Many people have won their cases through the courts lately. Make them pay back for your expenses and court costs.
PD: I'm taking a flight in two weeks, i've now unlocked a new fear 💀
nonono I just have bad luck youll be fine I promise!
