Bad experience, there is a lady named amanda which does not have any Sense to communicate with guests. Today I was there talking to her and she even did not turned back and communicate with us. Does not knows proper English. And was replying, yeah one minute. She is very rude and pays no attention what’s going on with guests who land there. I had seen she was talking very good with the Canadian people I think she is the racist person I ever seen here in Canada. And she doesn’t even have the politeness and other skills that I had seen in the aviation staff. Made my day hell
After missing check in by 7 minutes on the only flight home, I was less than thrilled. The lady at the counter may as well have been Mother Theresa, because she was an absolute saint. She set me up with a shuttle to winnipeg, changed my flights for me, got me a cab to where I had to meet the shuttle. All because she saw my frustration! I wish I grabbed her name, because that lady deserves an award of promotion for her phenomenal customer service skills! Amazing! I only give 4 stars, because the airport itself isn’t anything special, but that lady deserves 100 stars
I Missed my plane because I locked myself in the Bathroom, but other then that it was a positive experience
While the airport isn't anything special, it's something I'm absolutely glad we have in Brandon. Every flight I've ever taken out of the Brandon Airport has been quick and painless, waiting in line for no more than five minutes and generally the checking in and going through security takes at most ten minutes. It would be nice if they brought back flights to eastern destinations like Toronto but I'm content with connecting through Calgary, they generally have lots of flights to choose from with most recently flying to Amsterdam and Vancouver. The on-board experience is minimal so make sure you bring a book or a tablet pre-loaded with videos and noise cancelling/isolating headphones to keep entertained on the flight.
Good airport to take flight from brandon to calgary westjet flight.
Renovations have made a huge difference. It's a sleepy little airport 1 commercial departure most days, but it's well-maintained and modern, and you don't have to show up too early. Be nice to your check-in clerk, as they might also be your security inspector, your ticket-checker, and your gate agent. Lots of natural light, especially nice washrooms, and plenty of parking. Be sure and eat before you come, though: you'll only find vending machines in the terminal.
Always great to fly in or out of YBR Brandon Municipal Airport. Friendly staff, clean airport. Glad that West Jet has one flight/day to/from YYC Calgary. Would love to see the flight to/from YHM Hamilton up and going again.
Great location to fly into. ATC was extremely helpful, and there were plenty of spaces to tie down. The terminal building had everything we needed to catch a ride into the city. Re-fuelling was really easy with the automated system. I would certainly fly here again.
Nice clean and great staff. But you would think that they could of replaced the speaker system in waiting area. You can barely hear attendants when making announcements from the departure lounge ..this was same in old airport.
Small local airport within a modern building. Enterprise Car Rental is now located in the terminal. Screening is a little cramped but functional. Westjet Encore flies once per day from Calgary and everyone always makes the flight even when screening is backed up.
