"seat cushion beyond uncomfortable"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Other than the fact that there is almost no leg room and seat recline is minimum, my biggest complaint is the seat itself. Specifically, the seat cushion, which was beyond uncomfortable. The seat cushion had been compressed /crushed to a point where you either have to sit in a slouched position or you have to sit on a bump near the back of the cushion. This is not the first time I have encountered this problem on a Sunwing plane. Come on Sunwing, either invest in better seats, or change the cushions regularly.

"I wouldn't recommend"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Boeing 737-800 with tiny seats, hard arm rests, no legroom. The seats in the row ahead were broken and wouldn't stay upright. If you are 12 years old I'm sure it would be fine. I wouldn't recommend for adult travelers.

"absolutely uncomfortable"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | The plane was old (still with ashtrays) and with super uncomfortable seats. The seat back when not reclined, almost vertical, absolutely uncomfortable. When reclined, it is only of a couple of inches. Also, there was almost no leg room. No chargers for the phone.

"knees are pressed tightly"

(Canada)

Not Verified | No room. I'm not a large person, 5'10", 150lbs. It's awful, compared to other airlines. My knees are pressed tightly against the seat in front. The seat in front was already in my face before the person in front decided to recline all the way. I'm not claustrophobic but I felt it.

"did not feel cramped"

(Canada)

Not Verified | My last trip though only to Cuba, I booked the Boeing 737-800 premium class seating as you had lots of room could stretch out and did not feel cramped. I got the seat I wanted when i booked, and a few perks of you got to be first on which was nice and the price of it was not huge. I would do it again.

"I did not fit in this seat"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | I opted for the elite plus package for my seats, I’m 6’4 and 215 pounds. I did not fit in this seat at all, it was not wide enough at all. My butt was squished in there pretty bad, my 2 extra inches of leg room where also not adequate. Ended up basically snuggling with a stranger and it made me think of I was overweight I would be able to buy and additional seat, but buy being tall I have no options. Really made me think about the overweight people complaining about discrimination for being made to buy another seat, well at least they have the option wish did. Not to mention that buy taking the elite plus seats you can no longer see the 7 inch tv screen they had for the movie.

"seats were very tight"

(Canada)

From Calgary to Punt Cana and Punta Cana to Calgary, the seats we were using were very tight and not ergonomic in any way. I am an average tall lady, approx. 5/6 foot tall. I could not fit my legs comfortably, if I drop something down I could not pick it up from there. I even could not reach to tie my shoes. It does not recline enough. 2 or 3 cm or so. Power supply is on the top of the arm, so when the person next to you puts his arm on it normally, it changes the volume and other things - it should be at the edge or any other place, other than top.

"contradictory info was provided"

(Canada)

Flight Toronto to Vancouver was fine. Return flight leaving Vancouver at 11:15pm was delayed 4 times. Many of the passengers arriving late for check in were allowed to get on the only other flight. Those if us who were earlybirds were denied that option. The last of 4 flight delays was due to a late crew member. Unacceptable! 10 hour delay. Employee could not answer any questions from dissapointed customers and contradicted Sunwing policy on their website as far as reimbursed expenses for hotel etc. Contradictory info was provided at the 7 hour delay mark. Policy says no hotel provided but employee said just submit a receipt. Didn't trust her on that one. Her supervisor eventually attended to deal with complaints and was not helpful at all. Will not fly with Sunwing Airlines again. They provided photocopied $75.00 vouchers for future flight which will be used for lighting our fireplace this winter.

"no legroom to speak of"

(Canada)

Being in row 5 middle-seat was a tight squeeze, no legroom to speak of and the TV screen is too close and placed at an awkward position to thoroughly enjoy watching it. My husband had the window seat and measuring over 6 feet tall he felt very cramped.
