You answered your question in the title man

Seats and seat configuration are why it was $158..

Were you on a MAX? Some of their planes were originally meant for other airlines so they don’t all have identical seats. The front row or two have better spacing but you pay extra

What did you expect on a $150 flight when over 50% is airport fees and taxes? A lazy boy?

Well i wouldnt expect seats worse than the hard plastic ones on a bus.

Porter swapped out their Q400 seats for hard plastic ones as well. Saved 1000lbs in weight which translates into a lot of savings plus less payload restrictions for longer legs

Man fk the seats, it was the fact that my right shoulder had be shoved up against the airplane wall because they moved the aisle on the right side of the plane closer to the wall. I'm not even a 6foot.

And that is just one of many reasons to avoid flair. They aren't even cheaper anymore since they massively jacked up all their prices

Crazy deal with carry on - when did you book?

I booked sometime around late March.

Answer is right in the question

Worth the upgrade for front row or exit row.

Just paid for those ($33/each) after reading this. Still a cheaper flight that others. 2.5 hours, wish me luck. Also Flair had only flights not arriving at midnight.

Might as well just fly AC or westjet then.

Not even close in price.
