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...

3 d. ago This vintage thrift shop in Toronto is so hidden it almost feels like trespassing

I really don't love how overused the term "hidden gem" is. It's become Toronto's default label for anything located more than six feet off a main street. But this… this is both hidden and a gem. No, scratch that. This is an honest-to-God treasure chest.If you like your vintage the same way I do (with a side of chaos, charm, and community spirit), Boneyard Thrift Shoppe in the Upper Beaches might be your new favourite Saturday ritual. It's hidden, like, properly hidden, in an unremarkable alley behind a rope barrier and a set of stairs so steep they look like a test of faith. Ring the bell and someone appears, unhooks the rope like you're being waved into a nightclub, and sends you down a staircase that absolutely deserves the hazard warning. There's even a pool noodle strapped to a concrete overhang to protect your skull. Super "Toronto". And, we are here for it.But the second you step into the basement, it's a whole different w...
