A very comfortable flight, an additional wash room could have made it almost perfect.
Look, I understand that Kayak doesn't know I cancelled my flight on Porter. So I didn't actually fly yesterday. My main disappointment is with Porter ticket fare policies, and maybe you can pass this on to them: At my employer's request, I had booked a full fare ticket with no change fees since my trip to Toronto would likely be extended. Indeed, when I went to change my flight home to a later date, I was told the Fare Difference would cost an additional $550. So much for no change fees lol! While I had the agent on the line, I hopped over to Kayak, searched for new flights on the date in question, and saw a one-way ticket that got me home for only $355. So I got reimbursed about $450for the unused half of my roundtrip and bought a new ticket for $355. What good is a full fare / no change fee ticket if they screw you with "fare difference" BS. I'm still flying home on Porter Airlines but they just lost a hundred bucks with their stupid shenanigans.
I flew with Porter yesterday and overall had a positive experience. The flight was delayed, but the airline did a good job keeping passengers informed with frequent updates throughout the process. My biggest challenge was actually in Terminal 3, where the speaker system wasn’t very clear. It was often difficult to hear the announcements, which made it harder to follow updates at the gate. On board, the experience improved significantly. The aircraft felt very new and well maintained, and the seats were surprisingly comfortable for a short-haul flight. One of the flight attendants seemed a little disengaged, but the other was excellent—friendly, professional, and a pleasure to interact with. Despite the delay, the comfortable aircraft, clear communication from Porter, and positive onboard service made for a good overall experience.
It was okay. Had a thing with the front desk, she had me repack my suitcases to have them be under the weight restrictions, but then the other one was overweight, she argued with me about it when there were tons of people in line. Wasn’t great.
Organization and the adjusted times but the snacks could be of a bigger portion
Our flight was delayed by a bit. I appreciated that we were kept informed on why periodically. Boarding was fine. I overheard one flight attendant sounding very rude to a passenger who was not paying attention to the safety demonstration. The snacks were minimal as it was a short flight. There was no entertainment. Overall the flight was good back to LGA.
All good the seats a little tight and no I pad screen
Just an evening before they canceled my ticket and offered me ticket costing 3 x times more than. I will not fall prey to these scams,Will never book through kayak now. Such a bad experience.
was okay except.. 1)the porter check in webpage doesn't let you print your boarding pass from home 2)that there was a 90 min cut off for checking in on the kiosk in general, and to print a boarding pass, even tho i checked in online already....
It was amazing although they did bump us up to the front which gave us more leg room and a meal. The service was great! The staff were friendly. :)
Good but airlines getting smaller. I didn't like the meal but the service was fine. Flight was fine and luggage arrived. So good.
Given I (and I’m assuming most people) have both carry in and a personal item included in their fare, I find it very unfair that on neither of my flights I was able to use the overhead for my small backpack because they were completely rammed with luggage, people personal items, jackets, hats and other items. So the only item I brought in had to be stuffed under my seat while they had their leg room and sat comfortable with all of their items in the overhead. This has to stop because I was uncomfortable on both flights when I only had one smaller item that could not be checked due to its contents (medication etc). Plenty of people could have checked theirs but chose not to and then took up the space allotment for 2 people.
From pre boarding to flight attendant, crew and baggage handler, excellent. Didn’t lost my luggage like West jet.
The Sears in the 800s are not too good perfect Airbus why cant the new 737 fix that
The experience was great, the crew was very polite and hospitable. I will definitely make if my go to airlines.
Michael, our FA was very attentive, even finding me a chocolate brownie from economy class when the dessert selections were all dairy based. ( intolerant, not allergic so don’t usually need to order dairy free)
Plane 3 hours late. Missed connection. No help from gate staff. App horrible. Lost connection repeatedly. No service desk. Finally got help from young girl driving cart.
Everything was good. Flight was on time, luggage pickup was quick. The staff were great. Could not ask for anything more.
-The cabin was ice cold - When we arrived in Houston there was no gate available -We had to wait 90 minutes for our luggage to arrive.. In the future I will avoid flying with Air Canada at at costs
We enjoyed that we boarded and took off on time. We didn’t like that our connection flight was a twenty minute walk through the airport with only one hour in between flights.
I'm so frustrated my flight was canceled they give flight on August 5 which is not sure. Its was big mistake I booked my ticket from kayak.
Maybe glass of wine would be nice at no charge
We traveled with a 7 year old that has autism and he is significantly cognitively delayed. Your site makes it known there are no wagons allowed even if they fold down flat and many autistic children cannot travel without one because they are unable to follow directions or cooperate with walking through the airport and are too big for a stroller. Please consider making exceptions for our special needs children. Also it would be very thoughtful if you’d allow seat selection for no fee for special needs families. The autistic child we traveled with must sit behind another adult in our family because he continuously kicks the seat in front of him and is unable to understand why that is disruptive. We had to pay quite a bit extra to have our 4 seats situated with 2 in row 19 and 2 in row 20 directly behind.
Our itinerary included a 1 hour and 30 minute layover, which should have been sufficient under normal circumstances. However, our original flight was delayed. Before we even deplaned, we were instructed to collect our checked bags from baggage claim, clear immigration and customs, and then recheck our bags for the connecting flight. The airline knew—or should have known—that this was impossible. Checked baggage acceptance closes one hour before departure, meaning there was no realistic way for passengers from the delayed flight to recheck their bags in time. Despite this, the airline gave us misleading instructions instead of informing us that we would likely miss our connection. We completed immigration and customs in approximately 10 minutes, but our checked bags did not arrive at the carousel for more than 30 minutes. After collecting them, we had another 10-minute walk to the baggage drop area, only to find that no airline attendant was present. We then went to another airline counter, where an employee told us this had happened before and that there was nothing they could do because the baggage acceptance window had already closed. At that point, there were still 40 minutes remaining before our flight's departure, yet no one was willing to assist or offer a practical solution. When we asked to be rebooked, we were simply told to call the airline's 800 number ourselves. There was no accountability or customer support at the airport, leaving us stranded in a foreign country with no immediate assistance. After finally reaching an agent on the 800 number, we were rebooked on a flight for the following day. However, we were initially told that the airline would not provide any hotel accommodation and that we would have to arrange and pay for it ourselves. Only after making multiple calls and speaking with several different agents did one representative finally issue a hotel voucher. The entire experience was an exhausting and frustrating ordeal. What should have been a 20-hour journey ultimately became more than 30 hours due to the airline's poor planning, misleading instructions, lack of accountability, and inadequate customer service. The unnecessary delays, confusion, and absence of meaningful assistance caused significant physical exhaustion and severe mental stress. This experience fell far below the level of service passengers should reasonably expect.
Despite travelling ultra basic for the first time due to such increased rates we both managed with one bag each. Even boarding last wasn’t SO bad.
I loved the fact it was on time and it was a smooth flight to my destination.
Westjet has a terrible boarding crew. I had a zone 3 pass and my wife and kids had zone 9 as we purchased tickets separately. After scanning our boarding passes, the boarding Filipino lady rudely says that my family has zone 9 passes. I said I have 3 and wanted to board as a family and she started a rant that they have 9 and they were small kids to board with me. I told her that I am not going to separate family because of this and what she said didn’t make sense. It’s a shame to Westjet if they have such policy. It’s a shame to the WestJet employee to start this rant after the passes were scanned. Westjet has to train people to speak politely and not with rude demanding tone. If that’s Westjet policy, I will pick a different airline next time. Westjet is not the only one out there.
Calgary WJET supervisor was the most professional, and diligent official who I have experienced personally to resolve our flight issues.
Never got to take the flight due to app kinds of problems with the earlier WestJet legs of the trip.
Sat on the tarmac for 1.5 hours after landing. The flight was OK, after that, not so much
The seats we paid a lot extra for so we could sit together were horrible. The flight attendant even mentioned this to my wife after she was hit multiple times by the cart. She said something like this, “this is the worst seat on the plane and I know you paid extra for it. Sorry.” The entertainment screen needed to be held while using, the food tray was not useful for the meals they served, and constantly being bumped into by passengers and crew. I offered to switch with my wife multiple times, but since I am so much taller, my knee would have been a much easier target.
American notified via app that the flight was delayed. However, when I went to the gate, they were already boarding and had not updated communications that they had pulled the flight time back. They made the entire flight re-check in which by this time I had lost my exit row seat and ended up in a middle seat. As a 4 decade flyer of American and Exec Plat, my expectations for the company are that the customer service would be better. This unfortunately is no longer a strong point for any of the major airlines including American. They are basically city buses flying at 30 thousand feet.
The power outlets were not working for my row. Also felt like the seats have gotten smaller. I was in the window seat and felt like suffocated, as the two passengers next to me were tall and wide.
No AC, no beverage service and no explanation from the captain. 4 flight legs in 2 days with no internet service.
No service on New Orleans to DFW or DFW to San Antonio. Also no explanation from the captain why we had no AC. Unacceptable!
They lost my bag on both the going and return flight of my round-trip.
Nice ! I am gold member at United Airlnes probably I will shift at American Airlines and JAL ! Thank you ! Kindly maintain quality service I fly often! ❤️
Delayed due to weather in Dallas (arriving flight arrived late), then boarded the plane only to deboard immediately afterwards, tire needed to be replaced. Flight supposed to depart at 6:15pm but departed at 9:35pm.
Flight delayed, missed connection, had to stay overnight. Next flight instead of our business class we were booked on the very back row. Second time this had happened in 2 months.
The luggage was completely damaged. It was ripped at the corner and the lock was stuck. We had to rip it open.
Multiple delays and gate changes resulting in arrival with a 5 hour delay.
Air Canada’s problems are not staff related by and large, no. The problem is tiny jets between the U.S. and Canada - yes, believe it or not they are still “international” (just ask our own Mango Maniac in power in the U.S.). The little aisle is compounded by a design flaw of a “dog leg” starting at seat 12. Woe be unto you if you sit here as passengers and attendants do not have sufficient room to not hit you in the face with backpacks. One thing I will say very positively about Air Canada is you still provide pillows and blankets on transcontinental flights to all, not just the elites. Your tiny improperly designed jets are also a problem flying city to city within Canada also. One can only say you remind us of a “Jet Blue” or “Spirit” experience. Also your luggage space is downright Byzantine! We will endeavor to avoid you and use other U.S. carriers, albeit charging more.
The ground staff was so rude in Toronto airport ...very rude and did not answer simple questions, and made me look like a fool. Very rude ground staff.
I had a nice flight with free wifi. So I was able to message family members and stream music during my flight, which made the trip go by fast. I also enjoyed flying on there Airbus A220. The plane looked very new and it also got up to speed fast down the runway and didn't need much runway to get airborne.
The experience was good. Flight was on time. Liked how they offered to accept carryon baggage for free before as I was checking in online.
As previously mentioned in last review , seats are small and uncomfortable, and baggage fees are high!
We got home a day late because of mechanical problems and that they wouldn’t put us on available other flights.
We were turned away at the gate because our names didn't match (we used a maiden name by accident).
Wheelchair help is not reliable & chaotic. No food and minimal liquids for a flight at 6;25.
I don’t think the on-board testing worked on any of the 4 Air Canada flights for this trip. And in this particular flight, the entertainment and WiFi was out for a portion of the journey.
