"They delayed my flight 3 times"

(Canada)

Not Verified | This is a horrible airline company. Not only do they delay flights by considerable hours last minute, they have the audacity to pretend they care by giving a $10 voucher, as if that helps in any way. They delayed my flight 3 times causing me to having to get a hotel room.

"I will never use Flair again"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | I cleared security, there was no flight posted so first I went on their website using free wifi to speak with an agent. They could not tell me the terminal or gate my flight was leaving on and told me to see a gate agent which I tried to attempt but flair has no agents at the airport. I was traveling with then as the flight was boarding I paid a bunch of roaming to call them to ask which terminal to go to and they said they didn't know. At this point i asked them how do you not know where your own plane is flying out and their customer service was less then helpful. Ended up talking to a Broward County sheriff who got on the radio found out it was terminal 3 then jogged from terminal 1 to terminal 3 to try and get on a flight that should be almost done boarding after a good run then clearing a different security ran through that terminal caught the flight as it was boarding the last few people only because it was delayed and still received snide remarks from the crew. These flights serve nothing of any sustenance and hoping to catch food at the layover in Ottawa I had 30 min to clear customs and reclear security, then run through another terminal to catch a flight. This was a very affordable flight but I will never use Flair again not only could their uninformed customer service have cost me a flight, they offer no help what so ever to their customers.

"They are liars"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | They are liars. Their flight was delayed over 12 hours. In order to go back to work on time, I purchased a last-minute flight ticket which was so pricy. Flair Airlines offered me $150 as a compensation, but they didn't pay at all. It has been already 5 months since then. I emailed them several times, but they keep telling me it would take time. They are just liars.

"2 hours without someone answering"

(Canada)

Not Verified | This is a scam. A bunch of crooks. They gave me a rebooked flight and didn't even ask me if I am willing to take it. Called customer service and waited for 2 hours without someone answering my call at all. I paid for another flight and they still ask me to pay for a carry on bag. I'm never gonna take this airline ever again

"Flight was delayed a whole day"

(Canada)

Not Verified | Flight was delayed a whole day and wasn't informed until day before. They told me March 23 delay leaving by 1 hr but returning didn’t tell me until day before. Had to scramble trying to add hotel and rental car. Went to customer service and they said they informed on 23rd but the email only states delay in departure not any issue with return. March 30 they tell me and show me new flight! What cost 300 for a flight now cost me 1000.00 due to hotel and car along with food.

"their service is loaded with hidden fees"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Buyer Beware. Probably the biggest scam I've ever experienced. No willingness to assist a customer whatsoever. Was travelling to Thunder Bay to attend a friend's wedding. Flight came to approx $166. After payment, I checked my itinerary closer to flight date and noticed only my first name was listed as a passenger, however you could see my full name as the payer. I called customer service waited approx 45 minutes, spoke to a human finally as the chatbot was no help whatsoever. I asked the agent to add my full name to the traveller info. Agent told me that would cost me $226 and I would not be able to board the flight otherwise because the name wouldn't match my travel documents. He then proceeded to tell me if my last name was 3 characters or less they would be able to do it for no charge. I told them I wanted to cancel then and he said there was a fee for that as well. At this point I just laughed. In conclusion, my $166 flight turned into a $390 flight because I had to write my last name down. Customer service is trash, and after looking into them more their service is loaded with hidden fees meant to scam you. Air Canada was $409, I should have just gone with them like I usually do. This airline is proof that you get what you pay for. Big mistake won't be flying with Flair again.

"Worst experience ever"

(Canada)

Not Verified | I was traveling to Vancouver with my family for the first time and since we were traveling with a baby, I paid for two luggages. We were smart enough to put an Air Tag inside my baby’s luggage. When we arrived at the Vancouver airport the tag showed that one luggage was still in Toronto. There were no one from Flair Airlines at the baggage claim to answer the questions about delayed luggages. We had to go to the departure lounge to find someone to talk to. They filled out a form and promised they will get the luggage by the end of the night which meant the next flight. We kept checking the location of the Air Tag and it wasn’t shipped with the next flight. Finally the next morning the tag showed it was in Vancouver. No one had contacted us about the arrival of the luggage. We went to the airport to pick it up. We asked to talk to a supervisor on duty and the personnel laughed at us meaning they don’t have any supervisors! They couldn’t find the luggage in their storage room and claimed it didn’t arrive while we showed it to them that the tag shows it’s in Vancouver! The lady was trying to convince me that the luggage is lost or something while I had no more formula and clothes for my three month old baby. When she realized she can’t fool us with her story, she started crying. It was at that time she called her supervisor and asked for the luggage while crying. 10 minutes later there was another person walking around with our luggage. The luggage they claimed that didn’t arrive. The luggage had minor damage but my baby was hungry so I didn’t have time to fight over that. We stayed in Vancouver for two days and one day was wasted in the airport fighting over the luggage. Worst experience ever! Not flying anywhere else with this airline anymore. Rude personnel and irresponsible management. The staff kept saying we always have this issue with Toronto flight.

"You get what you pay for"

(Canada)

Not Verified | You get what you pay for. Like a 1$ slice of pizza, delays and technical issues on my flight where a plenty. Save yourself the hassle and go with an airline that's actually prepared. This being said, the staff are wonderful and if we are being honest deserve better.

"charge you extra for carry-on baggage"

(Canada)

Not Verified | They will charge you extra for carry-on baggage. Unpredictable baggage price, terrible customer service. Terrible website and terrible service at the check-in desk.

"going to lose out big time"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I had booked a flight with Flair Airlines back in December from Puerto Vallarta to Vancouver on 29th April. Then 2 weeks ago I received a notification to say that the flight had changed to the 4th May. This obviously is not convenient being that it's a whole week later. I'm already in Mexico so it's not like I can just cancel my trip all together. There was no way to respond to them via the email so for the last 2 weeks I have been trying the online chat, Facebook and other email addresses that I have found for Flair but I'm getting no where. I need to be back in Canada by the 28th April so I'm looking to see if they can still provide the original flight (I have no idea why it changed). Or if they can ideally book me with another airline or provide a full refund. The annoying thing is also that I paid a fair price for this flight and now because the flight is just over a week away prices have tripled so if I have to book another flight I'm going to lose out big time.
