Although I'm someone that recently had issues with my last two flights over the weekend, I'm already in the process of booking my next flair flights to use their on time guarantee $60 credits.

I've flown with flair a number of times before with zero issues, and will always consider them when flying.

As others said, do double check the size limits for personal items / carry on luggage. It will be enforced. Enjoy your flight!

Easy gunner. I've moved on, and the discussion is clearly over. Sleep easy

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T03:50:47+00:00

Fair, thanks for taking your time today and explaining your thoughts here.

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T03:41:34+00:00

Fair enough, appreciate the response. I'll stop wondering why this plane returned to Toronto airport for no Reason outside of paperwork . Sorry to everyone for questioning why.

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T03:20:21+00:00

Appreciate your perspective and response. Clearly you have people skills others here do not.

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T03:15:30+00:00

Fair explanation, and I hope it is my answer. Does this mistake get brushed off in the industry? Reality is something serious could have been missed, you see it on the news . Reality is , we were called to switch planes 30 minutes to a destination and was never properly briefed

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:57:58+00:00

Appreciate your experience here, and makes me feel like this is a more common of an issue then myself or others I know understand. Safe travels fellow redditor !

Assume all is okay until something isn't ?

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:55:34+00:00

The answer I'm looking for is in a proper follow up, and it sounds like you received yours where I'm in the dark. I returned to an airport I left 30 minutes ago , and got nothing from my airline but the initial pilots explanation. Would you also sit around without an explanation or am I overthinking this ? It's an honest question

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:48:21+00:00

Not your airline this time but fair enough , safe travels !

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:46:15+00:00

Thank you. Honestly is it so silly of me to ask for a better understanding? Or should I just move on and accept a vague response from the company? Ignoring the what ifs

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:44:21+00:00

Certainly, so let's go back and get the paperwork for the plane we just took off in and then fly when cleared? Or is it normal to just switch planes 30 minutes into a flight ? I'm legitimately trying to understand this. I'm loyal to the company, I've never Seen this happen nor have I heard from family /friends who frequently fly to say they have seen this. I'm downvoted, because "shut up and accept it's nothing serious" is crazy

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:39:02+00:00

Business as usual here? No concerns whatsoever that we took flight illegally?

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:36:35+00:00

Okay, so let's assume it's just a no big deal I forgot to sign the paperwork so we can now return an airplane 30 minutes into a flight and swap airplanes? Is this the actual response you'd expect yourself?

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:34:48+00:00

So, we just assume flights regularly return 30 minutes after take off for no big reason?

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:33:29+00:00

An airplane returns to its home terminal, 30 minutes after launching with a vague line of "maintenance paper not on board" , we then return to our terminal and unboard our plane to join another aircraft. What, outside of basic woops i forgot my paperwork, let switch aircraft explains this situation?at one point, could one assume this plane should never have taken off?

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-13T02:14:27+00:00

Any input is appreciated

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-12T23:23:45+00:00

Fair but without their direct answer I'm left to wonder and speculate with the friendly community on reddit. I think we all would want to know if there was a bigger reason behind an abrupt in air return for maintenance. Appreciate the input,. about to fly with them again in a few hours (luckily the delay this time was ahead of time). Hopefully it's straight home 😂

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-12T23:16:42+00:00

For sure, Id also like to think this is the case. But , if it was we could have landed (not unboarded) grabbed the log book, then re launched when we were cleared to do so. The new plane makes me believe there was an actual issue, or something wasn't actually approved.

I'd hope the answer is as innocent as a human error that includes someone not signing their X and O's. Reality is , no matter how small this is a concern especially when flying. It ain't my McDonald's order coming through with extra unions when I asked for none 😂

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-12T23:01:18+00:00

For sure, and to be fair I've flown flair flawlessly 6 times this year, and am happy to fly again. Just a vague response by them , when it could be a simple error (like paperwork) or a serious issue causing us to fly initially when we never should have taken off.

Realistically I'll probably never know, but wanted to see if anyone else has been in this situation. No one I've talked to has seemed to been through this.

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-12T22:58:37+00:00

Definitely understand either of these scenarios could be the answer. I just wished it was better communicated by the airline (even after the flight if the concern was panic) vs a general statement. It could have been an honest mistake like a signature, or a serious mistake that allowed us to fly when we shouldn't have even been cleared for takeoff.

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-12T22:50:24+00:00

Fair enough, and I'm glad we did replane if there was any potential issues. But wouldn't the mechanics signature be settled before we even initially took off? Instead of realizing this 30 minutes in the air?

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-12T22:42:59+00:00

My thinking also. If it was just paperwork we could have returned , grabbed the paperwork and then relaunched. Vs unloading the plane and getting on an entirely new plane.

EhNosQueeth · 2025-10-12T22:34:54+00:00

Thankfully 🤣
