3 d. ago WestJet halts plane upgrades in Canada amid complaints about non

WestJet is halting major cabin reconfigurations to its economy-only aircraft amid backlash to the introduction of non-reclining seats.In September, the airline announced that it was upgrading the cabins of its Boeing 737-8 MAX and 737-800 aircraft, aiming to provide travellers with various seating options at different price points on flights.Part of this revamp included new economy seats with adjustable headrests and enhanced cushion and back support with a fixed recline design that "helps preserve personal space."This means that passengers who choose the economy class price point won't be able to move their seats further back. Essentially, customers who want fully reclining seats will have to pay extra.In an email statement, a WestJet spokesperson said that by Dec. 15, approximately half of the carrier's all-economy fleet has been reconfigured to reflect this new cabin layout."This important step will bring our fleet into alignment, ensuri...

8 d. ago Canadians travelling to the U.S. may have to show social media history at border

Some Canadian residents who plan to travel to the U.S. could soon be required to share their social media history when entering the country.Canadians travelling to the U.S. could soon face additional restrictions, according to a new proposal shared in a notice by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The notice, dated Dec. 10, includes a proposal that would make it mandatory for travellers to share their social media history.If the proposal is approved, those who require an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) will need to provide their social media history from the past five years. According to CBP, the more extensive screening process would be part of efforts to comply with Executive Order 14161, which aims to protect the U.S. from terrorist and other national safety threats.The CBP website states that those with a Canadian passport do not need an ESTA and would therefore be exempt if the proposal is approved. However, residents of Canada who don't have a ...
