We finally set out from Vancouver airport on 24th October, Gina is pictured above, at the check-in. I guess we were all so excited about going that we didn't think that the taxi ride to the airport would get us there so punctually. As you can see in the picture the place looked a bit empty. At first we thought it was going to be a quiet flight....until we realised that we were about an hour too early. We were there before the check-in desks were even open. Now that's excited.
Anyway once we were finally on the flight we realised that this holiday chartering business was not as comfy as one would like. The 5 hours on the flight with WestJet felt longer than the 8 hours from Heathrow to Calgary with Air Canada. WestJet were cheap, so cheap that they even felt they could charge us extra for in-flight video entertainment. The only problem is if you didn't want to pay you still had to face the video screen that had been installed on the back of every chair, blinking away an advertisement that bragged the advantages of buying the rights to view more then the advertisement itself. In the end the dumb video was out of order anyway and no one would get a chance to sample the fine array of movies they would've had to offer. Gina found a better use for the back of the chair in front of her and simply fell asleep. Nice one.

to bad you didn't try to change the channel, tv was free. if you read the blinking advertisements you would have known.
you can also turn the tv off, press and hold the minus button, also in the add.
so sorry that you can't read, or listen to the informative announcements.
it's also live tv, the further you get from canada the weaker the signal, not recorded, also informed to you by the flight attendant, in two languages
nice one
Anonymous,
Wrong on all counts.
OK try to read the post in full first, think, then comment.
1) "out of order" - means, in English, electrical fault (too bad English doesn't appear to be your first language).
2) You couldn't turn the screen off.
3) Movies on offer, but, as mentioned above, out of order.
Finally I'd add that I write in all good humour. Not only do you miss the fine detail of the post, you appear to lack any sense of humour at all.
Further idiotic comments like this that appear to be from you won't be published.
Nice one.
