This was the 3rd time in a row that my flight was late leaving or canceled. Other airlines seemed leave on time.

This was the 3rd time in a row that my flight was late leaving or canceled. Other airlines seemed leave on time.

The flight was delayed multiple times and then finally it was late by 5 hours. I tried to be patient and then when I finally asked if there was an earlier flight to LA, I had just missed it. I would have appreciated an updated text or something to let me know that was an option earlier. It would have been better for me to get a bus to L.A. with that time!

I didn't like the delays on the air plan I had a appointment/ meeting and of the delay I didn't make it

The flight was faster than expected. The takeoff and landing were smooth, I'm a nervous flyer so that was comforting. The only thing that was a little unsettling was when we'd landed the captain said something, but it was not clear and we were waiting in the cabin for quite a while before we could get off the plane.

Flight was a little rough, but that couldn’t have been avoided. The flight attendant that did the audio for the safety information talked like she had mush in her mouth, and was very difficult to understand.

Flight was late - waited for the pilot to arrive for over 30 minutes. There were no screens or entertainment options on the flight.

The staff was great, plane was nice, no tvs but trip was short so didn’t really matter

1. The internet with T-Mobile didn't work, so I had to pay $8 :( 2. We stayed more almost 40 minutes because our arrival gate was not available

I haven't flown Alaska in years, so this is my first time in a long time. Both the outgoing and return flights were delayed, which affected my plans at the destination, which were time sensitive. I've flown Southwest dozens of times without delays, so to come to Alaska for just one round trip and have both of them be affected tells me I need to go back to Southwest. Other items: I tried to join an earlier flight, and was denied, even though online it showed seats available. Seems like this would have been an easy way to make things right. The in flight WiFi on the flight down was nice, I watched half a movie and was really looking forward to watching the 2nd half on the way back, but the plane didn't have the same options available, so I had to pay to watch the movie on my own streaming service. Irritating. Given the competitive nature of flying and choosing carriers, I thought Alaska had a better reputation for the little things like this.

Gate personnel and flight crew were both very good. No problems other than the previous flight being late.

We boarded the plane and were about to take off when we were notified that the tires had to be checked. Upon inspection, they were found to need replacement, so the entire plane had to be deboarded. After we exited the plane, United staff forced us to stay in the gate area by posting "Do Not Exit" signs on the doors connecting the gate area to the terminal. Many of us had already rebooked our flights and had no checked bags, but they told us we could not leave. This seemed inappropriate to hold people under false pretenses. When the agent told us we could leave, I asked them to please take down the "Do Not Exit" signs, as they were misleading. The agent refused, and I told them that it didn't feel right to hold people like that.

Friendly crew, but we were delayed for more than an hour and had to change planes due to maintenance issues.

Flight attendants had a little attitude. Food tastes no good.

Very poor. The flight was delayed from Toronto because some forget to do there job . I got to my connecting gate in San Francisco 10 minutes before the departure.but this didn’t let me board even though the flight was still there for an other 30 minutes. The the gentleman at the unite airline desk told me that they usually wait for passengers but air Canada called and told them not to we I been rerouted to Manila instead of Hong Kong . In San Francisco they mad me check in my carryon bag . I was told the it will directly go yo ho chi minn cuyt but I was told that by the Vietnams airline desk that’s not there I’m 10 hours behind my scheduled flight and looks like I I’m going without baggage. I don’t have a chance of catching ..

The food quality sucks. One must starve if they do not eat flesh Or wheat based products Some variety would be expected. The trivial amount of snacks and or food is inhumane

It was all good flight was on time, service was good I enjoyed a few movies and everything was smooth

Airbus plane, nice and polite staff, entertainment even as it was a short flight.

We tried to upgrade to economy premium but were told this was not possible as we had booked through United Airlines (and Air Canada was operating the flight). This seemed silly given there was ample space in economy premium. Additionally, we had to wait almost 1.5 hours upon arrival to taxi to the gate. Otherwise, the crew were very pleasant and passengers were friendly.

headphone jack didnt work for the first flight and not much variety

Connection coordination with Star Alliance partner could be better. Lots of check in setup was not interlinked between operators.

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 boarding process was going smoothly until the manager Bharti Singh insisted I check my duffle bag that fits under my seat. I travel with the duffle for this very reason. I know for a fact it fits under the seat. She was rude and aggressive, I was charged a check bag fee. She reminded me that I purchased a “basic”ticket. I fly Air Canada more then ten times a year and have spent thousands of dollars on tickets with Air Canada. Once the boarding closed there were many empty overhead bins. The airplane was an old, with no entertainment. The flight attendants were not pleasant, no smiles, not even friendly with each other. Over-all, seemed miserable. I fly all the time and have never experienced a flight crew so unpleasant. This was the worst flight I’ve ever had. If I didn’t have to fly Air Canada I would not use them again.

flight was full and no chance of getting a better sit. other than that. it was ok.

It was a good flight and we arrived on time, plane was clean.

I didn't like that they wanted extra money to watch a movie on the other airlines it's free that I use anyway

Too hot. Air from vents not working Long line for toilets Not enough staff to offer water throughout the flight

Traveling from Montreal to SFO, after landing in SFO, there was no announcement about where to claim our luggages. Our gate was in Terminal 1, and went to the luggage claim area in T1, but couldn't find any information on the screen. Eventually, an airport agent told us that our luggages would arrive in Terminal 2 luggage claim area.

All went really well. Except that I was randomly chosen to be thoroughly checked!!

We were reluctant to travel with Air Canada after reading many bad reviews; however, we were more than satisfied with the experience flying from San Francisco to Montreal and back. Seats were comfortable (although on the return flight we had very little leg room) and the crew was friendly and competent. The entertainment was outstanding, with hundreds of choices, from movies to shows to comedy. Our luggage was delivered in a timely manner (a little slow in San Francisco) and we were sent tracking notices all along the way through the Air Canada app. I wouldn't hesitate to travel with Air Canada again.

The help at check-in area was excellent! The crew on board was great and the legroom and entertainment is excellent!

Friendly crew and pilot. And thank you to the pilot for his smooth landing technique where the wheels don't hit the ground hard - that should be table stakes but doesn't seem to be the case nowadays.

Check-in was easy, but getting luggage checked in wasn't so smooth, due to the machines not working correctly. Boarding went smooth and flight was relatively fast. Captain kept us well informed of our early arrival into LA, which really helped us coordinate with the person picking us up.

Seats are getting smaller and smaller. In flight movies are poor compared to other airlines. Food is mediocre.

My flight left Honolulu EIGHT hours late due to lack of flight crew. This was the second time in 2026. The first class staff were excellent ... personable and friendly. The food was okay ...

The food in first class has taken a big downturn

The flight was delayed and gate changed so that was not fun and the flight to Dallas from LAX was very delayed on Sunday. It was just not a great experience due to the delays both ways.

Nothing available at the assigned hotel as far as brush, toothbrush, etc after forced layover with bags that departed

Poor service. Check in person at the COUNTER was ruthless and threaten to call police instead to look for better plan or actions. VERY MANERLESS lady. KICKED US OUT OF OUR RESERVATIONS. ABSURD

There was very little premium experience. The check in was awful with a 40 minute line and service making me feel like I was putting them out. The lounge and gate experience was scattered and not well organized. the only good thing was the seat. Food was bland and barely edible. Overall I found it wasn't premium at all rather a cheap low class experience.

I got bumped by Qantas to American Airlines incurring a 6 hr layover at lax. I was not happy
