Oh boy. It's been a while since I flew WestJet, but I now have $3 Westjet Dollars! Three whole Westjet dollars!! That can be used on handy things like paying for a second bag should the need ever arise, or for paying for advance seat selection. But why pay for that when you can just check in early online and choose a seat? Most people are cheap and as long as you're amongst the first to check in, I'm sure you can get a decent spot.*
Anyway, on my connection from Calgary to Edmonton, I'm sitting by the window seat and a really large man sits down beside me. Not obese or anything, just...big and tall and complaining the entire time about being stuck in the middle. As in sighing every 5 minutes, going "oh my god...", "are you seriousssss", etc. Seriously?
First, it's the holidays (flew on New Years :(). Of course flights are full. That's why you choose seats in advance. At least you have two ladies beside you, or you'd be really squished. There are, of course, other airlines. I'm pretty sure Air Canada's planes are slightly bigger, but I could be wrong. Or you can always bus it from Calgary to Edmonton with Red Arrow.
Second, it's a one hour flight. But this man managed to be more annoying than the babies that were on the four hour Toronto-Calgary flight. (I actually had a baby beside me, who was pretty quiet, but the other 3 or so babies weren't, haha. But if parents are doing whatever they can and aren't jerks, I don't blame them at all. A grown man-child however...) -- I can't even imagine him on an international flight.
Third...there is such a thing as deodorant. Yeah...
That said, the plane did take like an extra half hour or more to take off for some reason, which probably only make things worse. :P If they know delays are coming, I'd rather wait in the airport. Not like there really was much to see in Calgary International but still!
