First time booking tickets to Canada, I was assigned to fly with this company that I never heard…read moreof, but it seems like a deal comparing to Air Canada, so I decided to go with it, as I landed in San Francisco airport, I looked on the board for my flight with Flair but nothing showed like my tickets indicated at 9 AM boarding time, instead I saw Air Canada to Edmonton at 11 AM. I didn't assume that was the right flight, but still neither the airport nor my itinerary can confirm about the boarding gate, yet the flight still said on time without any changes. Finally I did my own research on Google and found out Flair is located at International Terminal Gates B, I took a screen shot of it but still had doubts, because my time was running out, but I didn't have a choice, not to stay at Air Canada gate, yet if my instinct was wrong I could miss the flight too, I decided to travel by foot to International Terminal, and yes the board over there did show my Flair flight, what a relief. I also found out that it is a very small operated airline which using smaller aircrafts to travel to Canada, why are they still in business, I have no idea, I got on the plane, my seat was 33, as I sat down I saw all the seats cover on that row said Do Not Occupy, I was a hit confused until flight attendant told me the seats were damaged and they upgraded me to 12, almost front row, yet this airline was so cheap they could not serve anything for free during 3 hours flight, no snacks, no drinks, storing overhead was too small, their seats didn't recline back, they also had a whole food menu with pricing indicated, I mean they spent enough time to create a menu, but they don't actually give you to try any of those for free, when I flew on any international flights in the past, even if it was 1-2 hours duration, they still gave you something to eat or drink without charging you, it is just too many holes that beyond fixing here, plus countless bad reviews on Yelp. Just imagine today I was not the only one who checked in online with Flair and received my boarding pass with no gate, no help, no communication whatsoever, it would be at least 10 people will not make it to the plane on time, and I can confirm that before departing the pilot did announce the number of passengers didn't match, he was waiting to see the headcount would change but maybe people just gave up hopes finding the gate destination. If you ended up booking Flair in the future and you landed at SF airport, please read my review, you will find the location of Flair at International Terminal B, good luck and safe travel

I have done the Canadian Transportation Agency for flair with successful outcome, dm me on…read moreinstagram if you need help!! I've used in Dec 2022 and more recently April 2026. In Dec 2022, I was very lucky to board the F8500 YFK TO YVR and F81501 from YVF to YFK(Waterloo airport). With a ski bag, boot bag and personal bag Lucky is an understatement, I was grounded for a week along with many other flights and fortunately YVR airport stepped in to compensate hotels, meals and transit because Flair Airlines was not providing any compensation or accommodation. In this same flight, I took on a ski bag that was only used for one other trip and a boot bag. I even stored my helmet in my boot bag padded with towel. My ski bag was ripped and my boot bag was also damaged, along with the helmet being crushed. There was a big dent. After 3 years I did get a resolution with Canadian Transport Agency for my ski baggage refunded, the compensation for a new ski bag and compensation for a new helmet. I didn't both with the boot bag- it was old. In this experience I found severe inconsistencies with handling ski bag and boot bag. Flair YFK expected me to duct tape the boot bag with the ski bag. And truly before leaving I did try to get clarification as some standard ski bags only have room for skis and poles. While at YVR. they did a quick test on the skis (not sure what) and away I go in the oversized section. So after being stranded for a week with excessive wait for Flair to go on repeat cancel flight then reschedule a week later I took a break from Flair. In April 2026.i took it to YFK TO YYC and YYC TO YYZ with a ski bag and a personal bag , I decided to give it another try, one thing is that going from YFK would save me the transfer time to Toronto Pearson airport. This time at YFK I wasn't asked to duct tape my boot and ski bag INTERESTING! So this time, I took a roller style where I placed two boots and one ski in one bag and a second bag to carry another set of skis. In the bag, I carried another ski bag for the boot just in case I got separated from my travel companion. It was easy breezy but the personal bag size limits POST flair bag sizing scandal was a bit sketch and heavily enforced. So much that they are tagging carry on and personal bags. On the return from YYC to YYZ, I watched another patron with a ski bag and a standard boot bag (side hang mount with space for helmet, snow pants and snow layers), have his content ripped apart. Understand that if you are skiing, you will also be carrying long johns, extra layers, ski jacket (built with arm ventilation and snow skirt), snow pants (with vents potentially) and a person may have a conventional jacket depending time of year. While I didn't have issues, there is a severe inconsistency and I dunno if he just had a hard time because the patron was not familiar that you can't fit boots in some ski bag configurations. And while the website doesn't specifically say restrictions for ski related clothing- there shouldn't be much of a restriction. I should mention snowboarders have but pads, elbow pads, knee pads- and some pants are built in with the ppe. My travel companion got dinged for $100 just carrying a standard puma bag- usually around 6kg with a Mac book and some light clothes. IF HE DIDNT PAY THE $100 he would not be allowed to board the flight is what he shared with me. The competitor Air Canada was running flights around mid-$500 to $600 and with my branded credit card I get two checked bags. So $420 vs $600. I'm not sure it's extremely worth the hassle with the additional fear of being surcharged. Overall in 2026 the difference with handling is that flair offers a $60 credit if they are delayed up to one hour. YFK to YYC I found my wait time 50min, not enough to get a credit. I also found that each reservation was made separately and this resulted in randomized seating-some children separated from their kid. I also noticed a credit card charge applied on reservation- so debit saves you- but then you can't use the benefits for flight delays and travel interruption. The change fee was $190 for me to change my return fromYFK to YYZ, because change was within 7 days. Overall lots of anxiety travelling with strict personal bags. You sort of have to make sure your destination has washing ability because you're packing lighter. Overall travelling with a ski bag with boot bag or all in one roller is possible but I have overall anxiety. I certainly don't argue that my flight with ski gear was around $300 per person and I added a $190 change. If I used Air Canada, I would be charged similar unless it was a point redemption then I have 24-48 hours to refund the points and taxes. I should note that the flair website restricts one set of boot and ski per passenger while paying for checked baggage with air canada you can fill it with as much skis- so I usually throw all the skis in a standard roller and boots in a hard case luggage.

The staff are amazing.. they definitely make you feel welcome on board. Since their inception, they have grown to becoming a serious contender in flights to international destinations ( I would not recommend it right now though ). The beverage service is pretty much right away when you reach cruising altitude. I had a decent seat on the way to L.A and managed to get a few zz's as well. Landing however .. well that was the roughest landing I ever had.. it was a loud thump.. people reacted too. My way back however, I was in a different seat ( and I am not paying 44 bucks US to change seats ).. last row. And wow can you really cram that last row in... it was the most uncomfortable seat I ever sat on ( even when I was in Yellowknife and flew on Buffalo Airways - the C46 in the flight deck ). There was no leg room, no reclining, and absolutely no place for your arms. Even though I am a fan of the airline , I feel the last row can be removed to make more leg room. The nice part was... they have great snacks ! And there's toilet paper n board .. hahaha.

It used to be you called the number and could speak to one of the people that actually drove the bus to make your appointment but times have changed and the service is now subcontracted through city of Edmonton similar to what Leduc has going with the C Line. It was nice to be able to speak with the drivers because it generated a certain degree of accountability if the bus didn't show up on time or at all but the subcontracted service has brought more positive changes then bad ones. They call her with a little reminder the day before that she has a ride booked and the call center hours are extended later in case something last minute pops up that she wants to get out of the house for. The hours of service were extended on the weekend as well which gives her more opportunities to get out of the house for social activities. All in all it is a pretty solid service....in three years of using it the bus has only failed to show up once....wish we could say we got similar quality of service in Edmonton!
