I had to check my carry on and paid extra for it. Had to wait for the luggage on the carousel which is what I wanted to avoid.
Very cold on aircraft. Everyone was wearing “Parker’s”to stay warm.
On one of the flights, the situation became sufficiently frustrating that a passenger openly expressed their dissatisfaction. Despite these complaints, we did not observe any meaningful improvement or receive an adequate explanation. The fact that members of our group experienced similar conditions on two separate aircraft is particularly concerning. We recognize that cabin temperatures may vary during a flight; however, the prolonged discomfort and the apparent lack of an effective response significantly affected our travel experience. Passengers reasonably expect a long-haul international flight to provide a tolerable cabin environment. When multiple passengers raise concerns about their comfort or well-being, those concerns should be acknowledged and addressed professionally.
Flight was really good, with no middle section on an A321neo for an international flight, from Ottawa directly to London. Staff was friendly. The food was okay, and entertainment amenities could be better.
The flight was terrible based off the temperature in the plane and the air smelled so stale and gross. I have never wanted to hosed lore in my life after I got off. The food was disgusting and seemingly low quality. The staff was friendly. The bathrooms were so gross after a couple of hours. I will definitely never book with them again.
The crew was great. There was no entertainment and the internet wasn't working. We sat in the run way for a LONG time which is always so upsetting. The seats are very close together and the flights are completely full which makes for a tough flight. Flying is just an uncomfortable experience.
Very kind crew. Vegetarian food better than usual. Prompt take off. Entertainment worked well. Could always do with more room!
I liked the reliability. I liked less the chair comfort...
The dinner was bland and boring, but the economy seats were surprisingly comfortable. The flight was very packed.
I didn't have any problems during my flight. My main issue is with airlines in general, they keep offering less and less every year, AirTransat is no different.
Disembarkation at Dublin Airport especially arrival at the terminal building was very difficult, protracted passageways that were dirty
Long line for check in. Would’ve been nice to have self service like other airlines. Surprised by purchase requirements for food on Vienna - Dublin flight. Didn’t expect that.
All very good The food definitely lacks quality and at breakfast I was given a small muffin small orange juice and not even a coffee or tea were offered It would have been nice to have that first thing Apart from the food everything else was excellent
It was mixed. Some of the staff were wonderful, some a little surly. I also had some issues with my flights, and when asking for answers and clarity, no one seemed to really know things that really should be part of the knowledge available. My baggage ended up being "lost" or delayed, there just seemed to be a lot of confusion. The flights themselves were comfortable overall.
It started bad at the gate. We were rushing due to the plane transfer. Then when we got to the gate, we stopped for coffee and then they made us throw away $50 worth of coffee. Very upsetting. Then my daughter’s bag never got put on the plane, so I had to spend another $600 on clothing for her in Prague. Needless to say, this is a failure.
They lost my bag and ruined my holiday, spent the whole time on the phone to them but they never managed to get it back to me in time
Boarding was ponderous. Seats are very cramped and not comfortable
There was no flight. I booked a flight from Toronto to Bordeaux with a stopover in Dublin. I arrived in Dublin and the flight number I had didn't exist and the flight going to Bordeaux I wasn't on. I had to book a new flight with a different airline for later in the day and pay out of pocket.
They lost my baggage on my connecting flight and we’re an hour late so I nearly missed it
.Ealing could have been better but no complaints on everything else
The flights were on time and I appreciated that the cabin crew helped passengers with overhead luggage - finding space etc - despite not being paid. Apparently their wages don’t start until takeoff. This makes no sense whatsoever.
It is stupid to have to go to Atlanta in order to get to Rochester NY. I was up for 36 hours because who can sleep on an airplane. I'll next do tht again.
Always a pleasure to fly with WestJet. I am however frustrated about the rising costs. We have started to resort to Ultra Basic fares to afford but really missing the extra bag but too costly.
The crew were all helpful, kind, and effective. There could have been more space under the seats.
Bumped from my connected flight, we arrived earlier than scheduled and I was bumped 4.5 hours later. There was no reason, they said my time I wouldn’t have connected in time. I had 41 minutes. None of Westjet customer service in airport could figure out why me and my 5 year old were bumped from flight we booked. We had 10 minutes to get to next gate after we got off the plane, one lady mentioned that’s not enough time to get to next gate. I was there in 3 minutes. Was originally suppose to fly out at 6:50 pm And was re scheduled to 11:45pm.
Everything went well, smooth flight, arrived on time, no lost luggage!
Horrible, delayed 3 hours due to a mechanical issue where the plane is deemed unsafe so we had to deplane after an hour on the tarmac. No credit was given even though plenty of passengers missed their connecting flights and then the baggage claim info showed that no flight was being loaded on the carousel whilst the bags were being dropped, so no one knew if it was the right flight or not since the arrivals screen didn’t show anything.
I think I'd sum up my experiences on this flight (Edinburgh to Toronto) by saying that Boeing 737s are simply too small for long-haul, transatlantic flights. The crew were excellent, the food was pretty good and the in-flight Wifi was a bonus. But 7+ hours on a narrow bodied aircraft with a single aisle and no in-built entertainment system, is a tough stretch - queues for the few toilets on board were lengthy at times; plus whilst the crew were doing food/drink service the aisle is blocked. It encourages you to stay in your seat the entire time (not great for those who need to get up and move around regularly) and the legroom is tight anyway. If this was priced as uber-budget, you could perhaps argue that you're getting what you paid for......but it wasn't and the price we paid was pretty standard for such trips (around £500 pp). I'd therefore urge caution and check the aircraft that is being used if booking with Westjet for flights to Canada from smaller regional airports on the Western edge of Europe. They do operate Boeing 787s from London and other major European centres - but it seems that if travelling from Scotland/Ireland the 737 is the aircraft of choice.......
Terrible. I was charged $75 for a checked bag when I only had a carry on. The lady at the desk said she couldn’t refund me the money and that I had to call westjet. I called the next day and they said they couldn’t refund me because there is no way to prove I didn’t have a checked bag.
Flight was re-scheduled for the next day. No voucher for a hotel offered. Boarding was delayed by almost 1 hour. No free meal or even water was offered on board. When tried to purchase a coke, was denied because they didn’t accept coins less than 1 euro denominations. A young male flight attendant was especially rude and unhelpful.
Lots of choices for entertainment. Too little leg room, I couldn’t even bend down very well to get my bag under the seat and bring it up without squishing it. Flight attendants were not around much to ask for water. Waited 15 minutes in line in the kitchen area to go to bathroom. Flight attendants never made us feel uncomfortable that we were in their way but it was awkward.
My experience with Air Canada flight was really good. The seats were comfortable with decent legroom, and the staff was very polite and helpful throughout the journey. The food was tasty and served on time, and there were plenty of entertainment options which made the long flight feel much shorter. The flight was on time and the landing was smooth. Overall, it was a comfortable and stress-free journey, and I would definitely love to travel with Air Canada again.
The lowest number I could give for the most lackluster business class of any airline I use internationally . So I booked my return with a more of a return value for the money ( PAL) . Seems A/C is aiming an achieve less than satisfying experience for its clearly more expensive business class .
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.
Very happy with flight experience. Great crew; friendly and attentive.
they could have remembered to put my luggage on the flight, it's frustrating and disappointing to have your bag left behind. now i get to deal with sh** tomorrow. do i have faith that AC will be on top of this? no. the flight was fine, run of the mill AC flight pay up for top notch service.
People next my seat were friendly so I had a good time on board. The flight attendants were generally kind and nice. The foods were so so. I will take AC next time.
Food abd wine was good and for the price this was a true bargain, relative to other transatlantic options. But it is still significantly behind my experiences with Air France long haul in both hard and soft product. But for the price air Canada to Europe from Vancouver is currently the best value of quality for the dollar cost.
Very good except paying twice for seat selection. Once when I booked and again when I checked in.
We did not have seat assigned until almost the very end of boarding and my husband and I did not sit together I don’t know why even though we bought tickets 3 months in advance and checked in very early. We were not standby and we were treated as we had stand by tickets. I will never fly Air Canada again.
Staff is all professional and courteous. Boarding was unnecessarily chaotic and painfully slow; planes are basic - no food (not even peanuts), no regular usb chargers (only new usb-c), movie choice is tiny with nonstop adverts… but clean plane and very nice staff.
The ticket was reserved in my name but not paid for by underpricer. Alaska airlines was unable to issue my ticket (could not connect the ticket with the PNR) due to an error with underpricer and I spent the better part of 2 hours at the ticket counter trying to rectify.
Comfort of seats is not good. Like sitting on a rock for 6 hours. Also no in flight food and limited beverages unless you pay is not nice. Need flight to be dark during the “night” but attendants don’t ask for shades to be lowered..
Only serving 2 small coffee in 7.5 hrs flight with very limited choice to order food.
Booked with Kayak… Economy Class it said. I had filtered for 1 checked bag. Get to boarding and it says I have Economy Light w/ no checked bags. $136 each way for baggage now. Do not use smartfares.com. Very misleading and a terrible start to this trip.
Overall good. I was surprised how easy it was to get from plain to plain in such a short time. Food choices were not so great and quite expensive. Entertainment was ok. Flights were smooth.
Good choices were awful. Crew was wonderful to me as I was disabled and they looked after me
The staff was really friendly and was comfortable. I found it disappointing that we were never offered any snacks while on the flight. For such a long flight and the amount we paid for our ticket that was unacceptable. Not sure if I’ll fly Icelandair again.
One small complaint: people in economy frequently were coming through the curtain to use the saga lavatory.
On time and crew were good. Our seating arrangements in biz class were messed up, separated us as a couple and bulkhead seating not good for long legs.
