While economy passengers on shorter flights still get that budget-friendly experience, longer flights now have more perks.</p><p>And that shift seems to be working — WestJet ranked higher than airlines like Virgin Australia, British Airways, Delta, and United.<br/></p><p>Air Canada also secured a spot on the list, coming in at number eight.
