Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from California to Canada 
Verified travelerFlew with WestJetLAX-YVRNov 2024
Don’t wait to the last hour to get to LAX for your flight. Traffic is heavy in and out of LAX and it will take at least an hour to checkin and clear security. Be there at least 2 hours pre-flight.

If you do not find enough space for your personal belongs( bags or luggage), you can ask the crew for help. They are kindly and friendly, and they can help you.

If you can avoid checking yoir bags do so the YYZ bagge collection is brutally slow(30-45mins wait)

All gulf and far eastern flight have good boarding and dining facilities.
DanteFlew with Flair AirlinesSFO-YVRJul 2024
drop an air tag in your check in luggage or pay for the luggage tracking.
ElizabethFlew with Air CanadaSFO-YYZMay 2024
When delayed happened I would suggest for the crew to let passengers board in and just wait for the one crew missing to arrive and joined the crew as soon as crew member arrives other than passengers waiting this helps time consuming . And passenger not rushing for connecting flight.
AbirFlew with Air CanadaSAN-YULMay 2024
Boarding was in time, everything was well organized and clearly follows set policies, although carry-on sizing is not appealing, offering free check to allow for more cabinet space is good. Immigration process was smooth, overall a good experience and it recommended.
HazelFlew with Air CanadaLAX-YYZApr 2024
Be appreciative of the crew, be patient generally and follow the rules
Verified travelerFlew with Porter AirlinesSFO-YYZMar 2024
Be on time, don’t carry so much cumbersome baggage on board.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesSFO-YVRMay 2024
Have only tried United Airlines. Good enough. Wqs delayed for 1 hour.
STEVEFlew with Air CanadaPSP-YYZApr 2024
Rouge seats are terrible for comfort. Might make sense to fly via Denver
RobFlew with Air CanadaLAX-YULMay 2024
Stay away from Air Canada using old Singapore A330
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesLAX-YYZJan 2024
Take earphones to watch movies, we had the ones United airlines gave us on the way down so we were good.
Verified travelerFlew with Air CanadaPSP-YVRFeb 2024
The seating areas at the gates are way too crowded, and there’s no good place to buy even a sandwich unless you have hours to stand in line at the only “restaurant” in the boarding area.
MarcoFlew with Air CanadaLAX-YYZDec 2023
Unfortunately Air canada has the most direct flights from LA.
