Booked 2 tickets with Flair Air and they use edreams as a "travel agent" type service. Eventhough our flight was cancelled by Flair Air, and the only alternative to re-book was 4 days later, we weren't given a full refund for the cost of the tickets. When I inquired about this I was told edreams charges a mediation fee. They didn't do anything to represent me so why do I have to pay $63 when the airline cancelled the flight, not me. Not worth the hassle and time to learn this garbage reason as well as being out $$ on a flight I couldn't reasonably reschedule with this airline. Never again

I got an e-mail today saying that my flight from Edmonton to Montreal tomorrow had a changed departure time from 0730h to 1210h. I engaged the chat bot which ultimately could not help me with my question as to why the departure time had changed. I was connected with an agent who also was useless with the answer. I will fly West Jet from now on. A previous flight I took with Flair was delayed twice. They suck.

Worst this time
June 17, 2022

Unable to access my booking online so I called wait for almost 80-90 min, Then Customer service person assure me that I can see my bookings and add bags 15 days before departure. I wait and try again 12th day before departure still not able to see my booking online. I called them again as If you are not able to add bags or unable to check in they will charge extra for those, Call them 2nd time and wait another 80 min to talk to some one as I try leaving my number 2 days before but no one called back.
In short they are failed to provide service which they commit for but never ever compensate their customers for their time and hassle if their system are not working properly, This is not the way we operate in Canada. Atleast they should offer me some thing like a checked bag.

Told to fly with covid
August 29, 2023

They told me to fly with covid for a custody exchange which needed to happend on a certain date rather then let me change the name on the ticket to my wife's name and let her go. It took more time and resources to avoid changing a name on a domestic ticket ( which I have done through other airlines) then I would have to just change the name and move forward.

Unreliable company.
January 12, 2024

Worst flight I ever took. We were supposed to leave from Ottawa (this is why we selected Flair). After buying the tickets, we received a notice indicating the flight we booked was to leave from Montreal instead of Ottawa! We had to take the train, at our own expense, to go to Montréal to take the flight. On that flight, there was no tablet, no pouch, absolutely nowhere to put our water bottles (the do not have water on board of this plane... how cheap can you get!). The supposedly application to access menu or view movies was not working: No Wi-Fi on board! In 2024? How cheap can they be? Most annoying flight we ever did! We landed in Cancun much later than expected, causing loosing one evening at the resort, arriving too late for restaurant or buffet, we had to have dinner at midnight with room service. On the way back, the flight was delayed because of staff shortage; how unprofessional can this company be? We finally took off late and made it home at 3am instead of 11 am as planned! Bad Bad Bad! Flair? Never again! Never!

Recently my wife took her first, and last Flair flight. Attempted to change the return dates. Was first advised to check with agent. They say they no longer can do this, but go on line. On line portal was not accessible. Then spoke with "chat". Was advsed my wife would not to send photo id, signed etc. This was ridicolous, considering she was at the destination, but had no computer access. Ultimately took the original flight, which was 3 hours delayed. Conversations with "chat" extended over three hours, which was much longer then the actual flight, but resulted in no reolution.

Doesn't care
July 5, 2018

I booked a flight through Cheepoair for Flair air in Dec. The flight was June 29/18. Got to the airport and flight was cancelled a month before. No one contacted me. Flair AIr said they contacted their customers. They said they also contacted third party agents. Cheepoair told me they were never informed of the change. I met another person at the airport with the same problem. The Flairair representative informed me that there were a lot of people that day with the same situation. That to me confirms FlairAir did not contact anybody. I had to book another flight at a much higher price. I contacted them for a refund last week and still have not heard anything from them. UPDATE. As soon s I sent this review in I got an email from Flairair telling me they will send a refund cheque.

Stay away. Terrible. Zero stars.
January 28, 2023

Terrible. Do NOT recommend. Lack of communication, transparency, support. Cancelled flight well after take-off time. No one to help passengers make new arrangements (including children, elderly and people with limited mobility).

Our flight today (Sat Jan 29) was supposed to board at 12:35. We got text messages saying to bord. Airport and website showed Flight "on time". No boarding. Finally at 13:20 when we were supposed to take off, we got verbal confirmation it was delayed. No announcement. Website now saying "16:20 departure on time". Our plane to Vancouver was now being used for their Cabo flight. We were shuffled to a different gate so Cabo passengers could board. Then sent to another occupied gate. Then back to the second gate again. Finally at 13:51 pm, an email saying flight cancelled, still No announcement at airport. No help from staff, they said to call customer call centre. Next Flair flight on Tuesday - 3 days after original Saturday flight. Apparently this is common for Flair. Stay away. Don't know how they're allowed to continue operating
