Food too spicy. Very late boarding. Premium Econ seat did not recline.
Connecting time in Zurich was 50 minutes. We had to rush due to delay previous flight. To short for our luggage, got it only with 24 hours delay
This was the second time my trip that Swiss lost my luggage from one of their own connecting flights. Really frustrating.
The staff were nice people, the food was very cheap, one of the meal was a sandwich or nothing, I couldn't buy any food, mind expensive duty free WAS available right away. 🤒
I took this flight to be able to fly with Swiss instead of Air Canada from Geneva.. The AC planes have a better outfit in Business class than Swiss, but the service aboard Swiss is really best, first-class, as is the food and beverages. Though using the same plane model (A330-300), the interior setup of the cabin starts to show its age, but IMO the planes are better serviced by Swiss than AC. I had in my recent trips with AC way too many technical problems that led to delays or even complete cancellation of my flight.. Their fleet is aging (average 20+ years) and the maintenance has taken a toll compared to years ago. Cutting costs in every corner has to be paid sometime by someone, and it's the travelers at the end that pays for it. Unfortunately for me, flying directly to Zurich puts a much longer after-fly trip on me than Geneva.. so I might go back to direct flight YUL-GVA, even if I don't like flying with AC.
Crammed like sardines into the middle of the middle 4 seat row for an 11 hour flight was a terrible experience. No attempt made to help passengers sleep by dimming lights or shutting window shades. Small mediocre meals. Not enough good movies/TV options. Hopefully we will never have to do this again.
Thank you for waiting for us after our first flight was delayed
Crew took my carry on and checked it in; turned out to be a blessing; however the luggage was delayed at my final destination; receiving it 36 hours later. Thought, we'd get, at least water; but the Swiss chocolate was delicious. Thanks.
Like the blanket. Food wasn’t good and boarding was a mess
The flight was canceled so it’s stupid to send me this now !!!!!
Plane had cargo loading issues which delayed us by an hour. Not sure when the crew found out about this but it became a real pain.
Flight crew was unremarkable. They were not friendly and had a harsh tone. Truly didn't make us want to make sure we got an air Canada flight again.
The flight was right on time and we made our connections
the snack at the end was an improvement of previous flights of a year ago . crew were responsive and gave good service
Ditto to what i said earlier. I thought my earlier response included this flight too!
Great experience. Crew were great. Boarding was smooth. Would request some Christian Worship for the entertainment.
Despite booking our flights 3 months in advance, my spouse and I were given different seat assignments for the 9 hour flight back to the US. At the boarding counter when I asked if we could have assistance changing seats, I was told it was a full flight and I should talk to the crew once boarded. When I asked a crew member for assistance in fixing the issue, I was told that I was welcome to ask around but that they couldn't force anyone to change seats. Everyone around us seemed to be with their traveling companions; ultimately, we got lucky with one row having empty seats, so we moved ourselves once the doors were shut.
As with all airlines the seats have too little room for a transatlantic flight. Boarding areas were very crowded, more than I am accustomed to. I didn't like that I had to pay extra for a checked bag. It wasn't obvious when I chose the flight. The crew was great and very helpful. The aircraft was great and I felt safe and in good hands. I would recommend the flight despite the drawbacks as they are common to most airlines.
They cancelled the Vancouver-Comox flight last minute and did not give any information. Air Canada is the worst airline that has ever been.
Airlines should stop being forced to enforce immigration laws. They are not properly trained to do so.
