Gov is pro Monopoly >AirCanada & WestJet
Can’t afford to fly hahahahahah
If the price is cheap and service is exceptional. But out all the fat including and especially executives.
No local people with money. No people using the local airline.
Foreign folks use foreign businesses services. Are you surprised? The foreigners are holding our jobs right now and are blockading our families from finding income and creating new jobs by crippling our businesses.
Support folks who support this country. Not people who lie cheat steal hoard and move money overseas away from your businesses and your customers. Better figure this out soon.
We flew on Flair this year and it was by far the most affordable. It also meant real sacrifice in terms of comfort and we really to plan our meals and snacks because Flairs on board offerings are ridiculously overpriced. They also got us on seat selection. We also had to spend 2 hours on the tarmac in Puerto Vallarta while waiting for a technician to repair the air conditioning system. Overall Flair wasn't a pleasant experience, but it got us there and back.
