You are currently viewing CBC: Flytrippers interviewed about the WestJet seat fiasco (and funny comedy sketch)

I was interviewed again this week as a travel expert, and one of my interviews focused on the hot topic of WestJet’s new very tight seats. As we had shared, the airline has abandoned its plans to reconfigure its cabin following complaints and will add back 1 or 2 inches. There’s also a comedy sketch on the subject that you might find funny.

Here are the details.

 

 

CBC interview

It was actually The Canadian Press, a news agency whose content is picked up by several media outlets (CBC and Radio-Canada in this case). You can read the interview on the CBC website.

 

CBC sketch (This Hour Has 22 Minutes)

Speaking of CBC and this popular topic, the comedy sketch show This Hour Has 22 Minutes did one that I found very funny and wanted to share. You can watch the sketch embedded here.
