For a 17hr economy flight it wasn’t bad at all, thankfully it wasn’t a narrow body plane.

Great! Internet is below its competition. Poor connectivity quality and speed.
It was a good experience except that the flight has been rescheduled, bit disappointed but it happens.
The flight attendants were very helpful, efficient and courteous in helping everyone!
The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was great. Lots of movies to choose from as well as tv shows. Highly recommend.
The only problem was my connecting flight to Chiang Mai on Hong Kong express that I booked through Cathay Pacific was canceled and I was never told about it. I was rescheduled on a flight 10 hours later. Very long day at rgr airport in Hing Kong after a 13 hour flight but that's OK, I understand things change but I think I should have been told. I would have prepared myself for a long wait. Great flights all around though. Thank you
Better. I took an aisle seat this time. Although the overheard compartment above the seat ahead of me kept opening up during flight.
I have a Peanut Allergy and the Steward staff were very accommodating in ensuring my safety as my allergy is life threatening. Very professional and so vested in their profession.
My seat was sold off to someone else. Had to wait 9 hours to catch the next filght. Definitely will never use Cathay Pacific again. Bad, very bad airline. will comment on google reviews too.
The aircraft was slightly newer but the food was very bad. Bland and uninteresting. Nothing special at all.
Air hostesses were great. Food was good. Flat bed is not that flat or comfortable.
It was excellent service in the snow storm gives us hotel and transportation. It will be more better if u can add one more meal because it’s a long flight boring journey. If you give extra meal time passes faster and can enjoy the trip better
Early arrival. Good boarding. Deplaning this flight is very slow both coming and going. Baggage arrived quickly for Pearson
Wish the flight attendants were more attentive in serving food
More leg space than other flights, but *maybe* narrower seats
Did not provided with option for class upgrade. Staff at gate was not able and willing to accommodate with class upgrade, eather with plenty empty spots in business and first class.
Flight was delayed due to slow boarding process by etihad. Update food options and movies as well.
Liked leg room Disliked unable to book to sit with my family on same flight without paying extra
Very unfriendly team. It was very difficult to get a cup of coffee. Legroom was extremely small. Old, dilapidated plane.
Everything was great. Cabin Crew was awesome and very helpful. Thank you so much.
Flight attendants announced that the flight had engine issue and they could not find the tool to fix it. Passengers stayed on the flight for hours and they announced that they found the tool, but not sure how long it would take. So everyone got off the flights they issued lunch vouchers by using boarding pass, however, mine didn’t work at all. The flight was delayed for more than 4 hours! They rebooked my connecting flight with only 1 hour connecting time, and the 1st flight was delayed again. How worse could it be? I’m glad the engine actually works and everyone is safe.
I have nerve pain in my hands lasting multiple days so far because of the hard armrests digging into nerves at my elbows. Will have to buy elbow pads before the next time I fly. I hope the pain and numbness fade soon, or I'll need to consult a doctor. Otherwise the flight was fine.
The flight never took off due to sudden mechanical issues. The rebooking was to s lessor class than what I had paid for. Thus is the second time AC has done this so a bad trend. Happy the decision not to fly was made in the interest of passenger safety ( kudos to the captain) but the way in which AC handled the decision was very poor.
When I booked the ticket it said that it was ANA and once I paid it changed to air Canada.
last minute flight cancellation. wound up flying saskatoon vancouver seattle cleveland. all night. no more air canada.
Everything was smooth. Just a bit of confusion with our carryon we were asked to check. We had to go through security twice
Boarding was delayed 50 minutes. The flight going to Chicago was canceled, causing lots of problems and causing me to rebook and miss an event. I was traveling with a colleague, and he was unable to get on the same flight after 40 minutes on the phone, which meant I had to wait for him after my arrival. My flight down was delayed an hour before take off, had to sit on the plane, then 30 minutes after landing to get to a gate. No real food, only juice/ water offered for the 3.5 hours on the plane. Not a good experience.
Warning- Air Canada makes it almost impossible to get a refund if a flight is cancelled. My flight was cancelled due to a damaged plane. This airline then rebooked me for a later flight. I went on line and tried to navigate their site to rebook to another within my original itinerary and I had thought I had changed it the first time, but since their site is nothing like our sites here in the states, you had to closely look for the links to complete the process. Then came the other problem. Trying to get a $45 refund on check in baggage, that I had paid for one day in advance. I tried calling the airline's customer service. They stated they are unable to process refunds for this. They then referred me to an on line site. This site required you to answer a multitude of drop down questions that are not applicable to a simple flight cancelation. Then right when I think I am done, it asks for an "incident number". I then eventually fly into Vancouver BC International Airport and speak to 3 Air Canada employees. They then tell me they cannot refund me my check in bagge fee. Once again, they refer me to this ridiculous site . They then give me a code to list and tell me to use the airport code, plus the letters AC followed by the flight # to list as an incident #. I tried this and guess what, it failed. Kayak, if you're listening. Something is very ethically wrong with Air Canada's refund process, especially when one of their planes is damaged and a flight is canceled. I have flown for many years, every week for a long time period with many airlines. Please post this so the public can see this accurate assessment of their airline customer service failure.
Not having to pay to sit together. Seat cushions were worn out and breaking down sitting on metal framing, knees jammed against seat in front of me. Not a comfortable flight.
Very disappointed with cancellation, then rebooking with booked friends bumped off & then a delay of over 6 hours!! Totally disappointing & all the anxiety it caused was unacceptable. $15 food voucher to compensate is a joke!
Good service time. Not enough help meant service was slow. For a Business class seat the seat is very crampled and uncomfortable Too narrow, and where the platform for your feet meets the seat when fully lay flat position they do bot meet comfortably. Yes I expect more for a $5,000 plus seat and service. This is the worst business class seat I have ever been in.
The longer flight on our leg back to the US was fine. Boarding was great, we had to stay on the runway for a bit after boarding… they kept it cool uncomfortable.
In my first flight with Air Canada we sat in the plane for 4:00pm to 6:30pm. Finally we were asked to get off the plane and we were told the flight was cancelled after 7:00pm There was o clear explanation of what was the problem. I was booked without my permission on a Delta Flight at 7:30pm that was leaving at 8:00pm and I still had to go get my luggage(my final destination was Rome with one stop in Toronto. The luggage claim for Canada was closed so had to return to finally get it on the luggage belt.. Of course I missed the Delta flight and all the next day flights were booked. I also lost what I paid for my stay in Rome because I did nt cancel in time. A complete nightmare.
The flight was delayed 7 hours and we were given 10 euros vouchers. This is ridiculous. The crew was not nice at all, they just did their job with serving food and drinks. Did not even apologize for the delay!!!!
Paid for exit row at the back of the plane. Window seat with lots of leg space. Food was inedible (as usual). Brought my own.
Missed flight. Requested assistance for my father and he did not receive it in Paris.
Business Class was very comfortable and the food and service was top notch.
The crew was very nice. The equipment on the 747 felt old.
As expected. Would have appreciated a 3-day headsup reminder as a reassurance that all is well.
Poor food on flight between Toronto and Stockholm Airport Toronto too crowded
Flight has no entertainment. Crew doesn't care atall. Horrible service and never going to take Air india and will spread their Horrible service.
What a pathetic plane it was. Entertainment system didn’t work. USB port was broken. There was a hole on top of folding serving table. Broken restrooms in the middle of flight.
The planes are dated and need upgrades. Seats are not comfortable and entertainment equipment doesn’t work
Everything from check-in, punctuality, working screens, food, service, baggage handing
The crew smile nicely when you board and exit, in between they are sullen and innattentive
The flight taking off from BOM was delayed by 3 hours - making a 15 hour journey into a 18 hour journey!
Having travelled quite a lot in my life -- Air India flight from Washington to New Delhi on November 19, 2023 - I thought was the worst ever - little did I know at that time that the flight back - from Delhi To Washington on December 6 - would be an actual NIGHTMARE for me and for about a dozen of fellow citizens from the United States who were experiencing it with me! Two of the passengers had kids: a baby and a toddler who was sick at the time, three or more elderly people of about 70 years old or more, I also remember a woman of about thirty years old who looked about 10 years older after the ordeal was closer to the end- on the flight from LONDON !!! (they sent us all to London instead of Washington!!! (The transit flight from Kathmandu - to Delhi - also by Air India- was delayed 3! times from 9,50 p.m. to 11.50 - which lead transit passengers to be late not by their fault but by the same Air India fault!!! - at after midnight at the transit counter at Delhi airport we were told there was no room in a hotel, that all we could do "call the center'' --- managers as well as clerks were at minimum rude and ignorant - finally we had nothing other to do than to leave to London at their suggestion at 7 !!! in the morning (the flight was also late for an hour) to later fly from London to Washington! If only you have the slightest choice NEVER DEAL WITH AIR INDIA even if it is the cheapest route!!!
I would love if the ground crew would be vocal about how they are boarding the aircraft. It seems chaotic.
Only crew members are good food quality is not good same types of both times and just only panir related food very bore to eat tvs are not working and nobody’s have any knowledge to fix same seat covers so dirty to sit over there
Our flight was cancelled due to technical issues. Air India staff caused each one of us to go through nightmare before finally placing us in a hotel by 2 am. I was asked to share a single room with a stranger. I insisted that I cannot share the room as I needed privacy due to my vulnerable medical situation (Heart issues, High blood pressure, High Cholesterol and Type 2 diabetics). Even after explaining my medical situation and the need for privacy, Air India instructed the hotel to charge me Rs 4000 for the room and I was forced to pay the amount at 2 am (roughly $49). Air India should refund the amount I paid for my hotel room, at the minimum. Air India didn't have any Standard Operating Procedure to do what/how/when/by whom under this situation. Mom with babies, Elderly people and people with medical condition like me were forced to wander from here to there and talk to each person right from 10pm all the way till 2am. The Air India staff didn't have PA system to give a consistent announcement, instead they were murmuring on a one-o-one basis with more than 200 passengers. It was a sight of utter mismanagement and lack of commonsense. I will not ever, I MEAN EVER TRAVEL an Air India flight even if it is free, and will not recommend Air India to anyone I care.
