  • I Flew One of the World's "Cheapest" Airlines! Swoop Airlines is known as Canada's Cheapest Airline, so I travelled across Canada with the goal of seeing if Swoop was a good or bad airline!
    After flying Ryanair known as The World's Worst Airline, Spirit Airlines which is known as America's Worst Airline and Flair Airlines which is Canada's Worst Airline, it will be interesting to see how Swoop compares to these other aviation competitors!

    Budget airlines usually do flights in the early morning or very late evening because gate fees are cheaper I think. Also I'm flying with Ryanair tomorrow, and last time we flew with them, the flight was delayed for 10 hours... we were stuck at the airport for 10 hours... 😭

    Hi Eric,
    I see that you were concerned about flying on the 737 MAX type. Something you should know is that after an aircraft is grounded, they undergo extreme scrutiny to ensure they are safe to fly passengers when they return to service. Therefore, the MAX is one of the safer aircraft you can fly on today. Most low-cost carriers have purchased the MAX because of its incredible fuel efficiency, and the deals they can make with Boeing. You see, during the groundings, a lot of airlines had to cancel their orders for planes that were already built, that means Boeing had to get rid of these planes and the only way is to sell them cheap. Swoop was able to take advantage of a similar situation with theirs. The Swoop MAXes were purchased "second-hand" (practically new) from Norwegian Airlines. Norwegian speced these planes without wifi or seatback power, which explains why the seats are so different from the -800s Swoop has. The product on the -800 is more Swoop's product, a direct copy of WestJet's old economy, but in a higher density configuration.

    Before I became a pilot for spirit, I flew United as a teen. One year we were boarding for a flight to California. When we got on my younger sister took off her mask to take a drink, as soon as she took it off a rude flight attendant told her rudely to put her mask up after that he told something to the flight crew and kicked us off the airplane.

    1:44 It’s because it’s cheaper to make flights really early then to make them like for example at a reasonable time like 4:00 PM, this is because probably there is more airlines that want to have their flights in the afternoon then in the early morning

    Just to inform everyone that in this video, Swoop had their own website but not anymore since they merged with WestJet near the End of October 2023
    So now, booking a Swoop Airline is now on WestJets website.
    Departing Locations:
    - Abbotsford, BC
    - Toronto, Ontario
    - Hamilton, Ontario
    - Vancouver, BC
    It can also take you to Calgary & Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I know that because I was on a Swoop on November 23rd 2023 flying back to Calgary, Alberta from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 (my First Time on a Swoop Airline) the seats were comfy on the whole flight, the only issue I've dealt with was that someone passed out on the floor and Flight Attendance had to ask if there were Doctors on board, luckily there was 1 Doctor, 2 Nurses and the passenger who passed out was also okay 👍 and we made it back to Calgary Safely (I don't have an answer on what cost the 1 passenger to pass out)
    On the outside, it will say Swoop but the inside will say WestJet

    Swoop’s MAXs don’t have some features that are on the -800s because the MAXs are not owned by Swoop. They’re leased, which means they’re owned by the leasing company instead of Swoop, whereas the -800s came from and are wholly owned by WestJet, which means they can do whatever they want with them.

    • @JayJayAviation

    The reason why budget airlines fights fly early in the morning/ late evening is because of the cost of landing and takeoff. The airports surcharge for takeoff and landing during prine hours. Usually, major airlines are able to buy these takeoff and landings times due to financial reasonings.
