Between the two main options for Canada, I would choose Westjet. Last time though I flew with Canada Air, there definitely had been some massive improvements, so I might be willing to fly with them again. Honestly, people might not like it, but I thought my experience with Korean Air was pretty good. A huge upgrade from Canada Air or Westjet, haha.
I was a member of Surf Air for a year actually and while the value for money is amazing (if you can afford it) I had nothing but trouble with them.The private terminal was little more than a disused go kart factory. The TESLA vehicle was like a timeshare. And when I finally did get a turn it smelled bad because someone had spilled a vinegarette salad dressing in there and hadnt bothered to clean it up. Yes, they have bottle service, but they are never happy to actually give you a drink. It's always begrudgingly. Worst of all, I spotted the pilot at the "private terminal" a few times and the guy had a bowl cut. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I will not be flown by some rube with a bowl cut.
My favorite two have been Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific. But if I had to choose between the two, I'd say Cathay Pacific was slightly better.

ARRIVALS IS LIKE A BREAD RIOT IN THE 80s!I like how natural the British flight attendants are. I suppose as a Brit, I'm kind of used to that. One time, I asked for some wine, and a Scottish flight attendant came over and gave me two small bottles, 'You know, just in case' I like the Korean service attitude but it can be a little superficial, so I like how earthy Brits can be. When my wife was in Boots, she was surprised with the 'You're next darling! Come on Luv!' greetings from the cashiers. Aeroflot is horrible. When I flew to Korea first, I came with them and there was no in-flight entertainment for the whole flight. No screens, nothing. There was one time years ago, I transferred in Sheremetyevo, and I was in a 'transfer' room with a load of other people. 'Give us your passports' So everyone gave them their passports, I mean, what are you going to do? After about ten minutes everyone was 'They've been a long time with our passports' 'What are we going to do?' Shortly after, they cam back and gave everyone back their passports. I mean, come on! Where else would do that?
