WestJet Christmas Miracle

[Wizzo]

What a great way to advertise your company and spread a little Christmas cheer.

Great job, eh?  Westjet is the Canadian Easyjet, but a bit more expensive.  They have always done things just a bit differently than the rest of the airlines, and usually try to have fun.  More than once I've been on one when they start taxi-ing along to take off and announce welcoming us on a flight to Hawaii when we knew we were going to freezing Edmonton.  Great way to break the ice of nervous people miserable about their next few hours.  Lightens the mood.  Another thing they sometimes do is seat you depending on where you are in a bank of seats, also with a bit of fun.  'First the window seats for people who booked early, then the middle seats reverved just for the people who want to make friends, and finally finally the aisle seats specially saved for people with small bladders.' 

They make flying fun.

Is that genuine?? I usually cringe at marketing stunts, but this is, well, sob, really nice!

Nice bit of Christmas cheer there, thanks Wizzo restores one's faith in the  business community.  Just a shame it's in far off Canada. 

Can't see Ryan Air losing any sleep thinking about it though.

Millions of dollars of free PR for a relatively small investment. Still good fun though.

Yes, and it took place at two rural airports for 2 different flights.

I just want to know why nobody asked Santa for a CAR!!?  'Yes Santa, What would make my Christmas special would be a flat black Porche 911'  Thank Yew!

That is just brilliant, those smiles, those surprised eyes are just priceless. I will be honest, if I go to Canada ever I will always try to find a flight in WestJet

I heard that the women who said they wanted a husband received a Ken doll.
