Made me cry. Never heard of Westjet before this but now I don't think I will ever forget them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise/page/2#post-1275938 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 11:02:56 +0000 birdofafeather 1275938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i totally cried watching this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise/page/2#post-1275926 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:58:01 +0000 Shutterbug 1275926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so sweet! Totally has me crying. The kid who asked for an Android tablet and then hugged Santa when he got it. And I love that they even gave out a few free flights home for the holidays. I wonder if that guy got the santa boots he asked for. I'd say this worked, because I've never heard of WestJet. Do they just fly within Canada? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise/page/2#post-1275884 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:48:44 +0000 Alivoo01 1275884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought this was awesome and crazy to be able to pull off something this large!</p> <p>Even if an airline offers free checked baggage (Southwest), I still carry on my luggage. I don't like waiting at baggage claim. It takes FOREVER. So if I was a passenger on that flight, I'd be missing out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1275850 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:42:47 +0000 delight 1275850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: haha good luck!

I will keep my fingers crossed that this happens to us! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1275741 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:16:16 +0000 mrs. bird 1275741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: hahaha, i thought the same thing! but maybe he really did need socks and underwear :)</p> <p>i cried. yup, i'm a cheese ball </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1275613 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:49:04 +0000 pui 1275613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I saw this all I could think was that guy who only asked for socks and underwear must have felt screwed over!!</p> <p>Lol JK, this is awesome! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1275606 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:47:07 +0000 delight 1275606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just came on to post this!

It made me cry!!! It's amazing how wonderful some people really can be! And if I ever have a reason to, I'll fly WestJet! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1273030 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 07:45:35 +0000 Mae 1273030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: haha I missed that.

This was talked about on the radio this morning locally.</p> <p>I wold have loved to be one of the shoppers, lol. How fun to surprise everyone like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272937 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 02:10:53 +0000 BSB 1272937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272931 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 01:34:34 +0000 Pepper 1272931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought this was so sweet! It's just nice to see people do nice things for others. The passengers get a wonderful surprise that probably made their whole month, and the airline gets great PR. Win-win :) I have no idea what I would have asked for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272904 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 00:15:13 +0000 deerylou 1272904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Look up thread, haha. Fellow Grinch, slightly different reasons. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272886 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:33:55 +0000 Chastenet 1272886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: You get a free checked bag with Westjet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272757 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 21:23:27 +0000 Smurfette 1272757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: this!! I did wonder what about the people that didn't check a bag.....they didn't get anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272675 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:48:01 +0000 Beebug 1272675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: they did give the one girl who asked for it a free flight home, lol. So in theory if they all asked they would have received, however they asked for different things, ha! I am being cheeky, I realize! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272669 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:45:46 +0000 mrs. 64 1272669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272548 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:03:48 +0000 Mae 1272548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Am I the only grinch-y person who didn't love this? I mean they people were happy and it was cute… but when I watched the video all I could think was… how much did they spend doing this? Why not just give all travelers better fares or a free checked bag or something? </p> <p>(Going to hide in my grinchy hole now. Sorry to be a curmudgeon lol)</p> <p>ETA: I do get that the reason they did this rather than my suggestion is because it is a publicity stunt to look like a nice company. That doesn't improve my opinion… lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272547 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:03:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 1272547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, this made me cry! If AF weren't in town, I'd be totally convinced I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272545 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:02:20 +0000 tinyperson 1272545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WestJet is awesome. We fly with them every chance we can...I also have several friends who are either pilots or flight attendants with the company. They have a lot of fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272518 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:52:10 +0000 Kimberlybee 1272518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: He looked genuinely happy to receive his gift. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272501 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:47:46 +0000 Kimberlybee 1272501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How amazing that they were able to pull this off! It would have been fun to be part of the gift giving crew. One of the coolest Christmas advertisement this season! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baggage-claim-surprise#post-1272489 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:42:34 +0000 Raindrop 1272489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So touching :) </p>
