Has anyone used the Swoop Airline before? How was your experience? Was it worth the half price air fare?

Yes I fly on swoop all the time. The flights are always full. I usually try to book my flight a month or two in advance, as the prices will keep getting higher as the date gets closer.
I’ve had no issues with the airline. It’s the cheapest price you will find flying within Canada. It’s defiantly worth the price for sure.

And everything went smoothly. I would definitely take them again. You do hear some horror stories but you also don’t hear about the flights that leave everyday flawlessly.

If anyone's done the Winnipeg to Abbotsford Swoop trip, please post your experience here.

TBH, for all the trouble, I usually just book into YVR, but someone may tell me different.

Me and my wife used then to fly to Abbotsford.
The flight from Winnipeg was terrible got delayed 5 hours in Winnipeg for un-sheduled maintenance.never got any updates or anything lucky enough we made it to Abbotsford just in time to get a rental car and no complementary drinks or snacks or anything for the troubles or nothing. The flight back was good.

I have heard bad things about Swoop
9/11/2019 at 8:55 PM

On August 27 a family member wanted to fly home to Winnipeg from Kelowna. Flight was cancelled and was told that September 4th was the next flight Swoop could accommodate for. They were forced to book with West Jet so they could fly home the next day.
