We just got back from another cross-country excursion, and neither flight went particularly well. I wanted to share the CS related bit, though.
We were flying home via Calgary on WestJet (our previously preferred airline.) The check-in woman was quite snarky, but the crazy part is she demanded to weigh DS's carseat! WTH? WJ's policy is that carseats that the child will be using in flight DO NOT count as carry-on, and if it had been overweight what would she have had me do? Cut a chunk off it? I've never had *any* carry-on weighed for WJ before, including for the flight we took out there the week before. She told me quite sternly that the Radian was *exactly* 22lbs (the carry-on limit.) Thanks lady - if it had been over we'd be talking to your supervisor - I bet this seat (and our family) has done more miles on WJ than you have. Oh, and while she was so concerned over the carseat's weight, neither she or anyone else ever checked to see that it was certified.
I'm sad that our WestJet experiences have been becoming progressively less pleasant. We've been so pleased with them in the past.
