Water and a cookie was all they offered, shocked we couldn’t buy a thing no coffee, no pop, beer or any type of food, besides that everything went very smoothly

Check in online did not offer checked baggage option but was fine to do it at airport. Not sure what if any on board entertainment options there were-an instruction card would help. Never flew with you before but would happily do so again.
I surprisingly have no recommendations. My first flying with Canada Jetlines and I will definitely fly again!!
Great new airline. LOVE the fact that carry-on baggage is no-charge. They weren’t picky about carry on size like some of the US ultra low cost carriers can be. You got a drink, no snack. They boarded “old school” from back of the plane to the front which I have always been a big fan of. Flights were on time. I am 6’ and I had enough legroom (although I was in an aisle seat as I always am). No issues and loved the flight and the price. Will be a return customer.
Check in with as long, especially considering we did not have any checked bags
While the flight left on time, the experience afterwards was terrible. Starting with the flight attendants who were very unprofessional (there were times during the flight when I felt the crew was hiding from the passengers at the front and back of the plane chatting amongst themselves) and had very poor communication skills. All announcements over the intercom were poorly delivered and many passengers were left confused on what was said. To top this off, the airline left my checked-in luggage at my departure city and I've been calling/emailing their customer service representatives ("CSR") who show no empathy or urgency to address my situation. First off, I have an Airtag on my luggage and when I told them that the luggage was left behind, they didn't believe me and tried to convince me that it wasn't missing. During my subsequent communications over the phone with the CSR staff, I go on to find out that the staff that monitors emails and phones are completely separate and unable to communicate with each other. After I've emailed/called, I was promised that their airport staff will contact me right away. It has been over 24 hrs and I still haven't gotten a call/email. I have made subsequent inquiries over the phone regarding the status of this call and the CSR cannot tell me. Luckily, my luggage has since arrived at my destination (on a subsequent flight) but now it is just sitting in the airport. I'm praying that this will be dealt with soon after which, I will never fly this airline ever again.
I Had very bad experience for rental car company nu rep and charged me for insurance , already had it
I loved the crew's professionalism. The landing was unbelievably smooth, haven't experienced that in years
Their system was slow so it took them well over 4 hours to complete checkin but they kept assuring us that the flight won’t leave without all the passengers as it’s their fault but at the end of 4th hour then tell us that the immigration will close for the night and the last few of us are left stranded behind. The customer service itnay open at night. The airlines does have its own crew at Toronto airport so no one to help us.
Great first experience, I will definitely be flying again as soon as I can. No online check in was a bit nerve-wracking with a newer airline, and it was a bit disorganized at the airport check in but I've definitely experienced way worse with the major airlines. I arrived 2.5 hours early and had tons of time. Looking forward to new routes!
Nice smooth flight with pleasant stewards. Slept most of the flight, they could have slowly turned on the lights to make it more pleasant. Otherwise a good trip.
Great! No food was available during the flight due to the catering service strike but snacks were given throughout the flight which was nice.
I wish that seats closer to the front of the plan were available, but when I booked the flight the seats were VERY expensive so I did not book seats at that time. The day before flying only seats at the back of the plane were available. It takes so long to board the plane and empty the plane on arrival due to SO many roller bags.
Crew was rude.didn’t even say hi or welcome to board
Nothing special. Unacceptable wait for baggage on arriving in Calgary
Departure delay on a late night flight. Made us even later. Tired but got home.
Westjet forced me to put my carry-on baggage in check-in probably because I was assigned seat 23A (the last row seat), which had no cabin space, which is unfair. I wanted to carry on my luggage so that I don't have to wait at the airport for my luggage. Also, because there was no cabin space, I was forced to keep my laptop bag under the seat, which I didn't want to as I was carrying 2 laptops and charger. The airline should basically tell people that if you are assigned a last row seat, then you are not allowed a cabin baggage or a personal item.
Easy processing, flight time was quick and staff was professional and kind.
It was delayed by two ours very full no room to move
They seem to have squeezed out a little more legroom in these planes! It was very nice to not have to fold in half to fit in the seats!
First time with Porter and I can say this is best airline company in Canada. Great service, free WiFi, free snack and drinks (including beer and wine). Seats were super comfy on the Embraer jet and I appreciated the folding try table too. Staff were excellent both legs of the trip.
Crew is ok. They offered food n drinks. Had difficulty connecting to wifi on board.
Tight transfer in Montreal. (15 min) However, we made it, as did my luggage.
Check in was slow because of passenger ahead in Reserve line. Seats were somewhat uncomfortable.
First time with Porter. Amazing experience overall, will be my airline of choice in North America whenever possible. Liked the quality of food and how it was served but one suggestion- a hot meal on the longer flights, perhaps?
Delayed by 2.5 hours. This happened previously on my flight from YOW to YVR on Dec. 26.2023. This is a terrible airline. The reason was there was lack of ground crew. This is a known event. AVOID PORTER AIRLINES IF YOU CAN. There is a reason half the plane was empty.
The airline arrival at the downtown airport is a big plus.. Food and beverage was excellent. Their non weather related cancellation is horrible. Overall I gave the airline 7 over 10 Tips for people flying porter from Boston. The airline doesn’t have inflight entertainment No TV No WIFI. Bring your entertainment with you.

Wasn’t on the flight- again. Bad weather in Halifax and I was in an accident. What a poor experience to have to pay for all this flight and not be on it
I didn’t make my flight due to poor weather and I had an accident driving there. I tried to get my money back or even credit and nothing. I have an entire flight both to Florida and back that I paid for and no one will give me any money back. I know this isn’t just Porter and it’s 3rd party- however airlines should allow these companies to take money for things they don’t get. I’m so upset. Who can afford a full flight they never take?
Seriously need to improve the time schedule and the plans
Great TV, easy boarding, wonderful ground crew and flight crew.
Rude Customer Service at checkin, 90 minute limit in flight check in is too strict. I was in line for 30 minutes because of slow/insufficient workers. Somewhere I got to the the counter of course the employee warned me about the 90 minutes. People were cutting the lines. No one did anything.
Everything was great. I really like how they had their safety film set up showing you the beauty of the country.
I liked the early check in. Flight was a bit bumpy due yo weather. Overall, everything went well.
Limited snack options cause the snack vendor was on strike
It was an excellent experience, traveling from Toronto to Denver with United.
Ontime boarding. Almost 1 hour take off delay. We could have boarded slightly later since the pilots were in traffic
This was the first AC flight in a long time that we experienced no delays or frustrations. The gate attendant was extremely polite and accommodating to my husband who has Parkinson’s disease which made boarding extremely stress free. Flight departed ON TIME and was a smooth ride. If only all my AC experiences could be like this.
I didn’t like the fact that all the customs officers went to lunch so I was in line for 90 minutes due to where the staff directed me. We were told three very different reasons for why the plane was delayed. It was a crowded plane with difficult storage situations for the Carry On bags. The Air Canada airline staff were all very good and professional. I was so disappointed in my cheese and fruit box as the cheese had molded and the fruit wasn’t fresh so I couldn’t eat the majority of the food. This was the last meal I could find as the restaurants had closed when I got in to my destination. I think you could work on improving the food quality.
The flight was canceled. We only found out at the airport. We had to book another flight which cost us more then the whole trip booked through Kayak. Lynx took our email and was supposed to write us with an alternate flight. We never received an email. They talked about reimbursement which was to be explained in the email (which we never received).
The online system for Lynx air to pay for additional baggage is not satisfactory. I was charged 100+$ for my suitcase when I tried to explain that the online payment was not functional using the app and showed screenshots of the same. In the end I gave up and paid and went ahead.
No snacks, just water.... could have been better. The actual flight was good.
Flight delayed by 4 hours but no communication. With passengers until after the posted departure time became apparent the flight was not going to board even close to on time.
Flight was sent canceled. The absolute most useless staff I have ever witnessed. Utterly careless - literally could not care less. 100% never using this airline again.
Poor communication at the check in counter and boarding gates.
Other then the screaming baby the flight was fine, nothing special
Check in experience was smooth, and the flight attendants were courteous and friendly. Very positive experience overall, thank you all!
Flight arrived late but other than that everything else okay
Great price for a new plane. Only offered water which we knew.
