Flights from Europe to Canada: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Europe to Canada 
KonstantineFlew with Air Canada-Aug 2026
CDG is fairly efficient but it takes time to get through passport control and then security. If flying internationally and we were mid week, arrive up to 2.5hrs before flight to have time to make it through and grab a coffee before boarding. Oh and if out of T2C, hit the Pharmacy before crossing over, there isn’t one after security.
TamiFlew with WestJet-Jul 2026
Download the Canada declaration app and do your declaration statement before you get to the airport and save time
KatieFlew with Aer Lingus-Aug 2026
Have a long connection (5 hours) if you’re flying internationally

Try to fly to Orly instead of CDG.
Verified travelerFlew with Scandinavian Airlines-Aug 2026
Arrive four hours before your scheduled flight to avoid the 2 hour wait for passport check. The line up is horrendous, elderly people would have a very difficult time.
Verified travelerFlew with Aer Lingus-Aug 2026
Don’t travel from the us through Toronto if you are going overseas. The transfer took legitimately 2 1/2 hours and we probably walked 3 miles.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026
Munich is a convenient airport to transfer through. The customs clearing process was efficient. We didn’t need the change terminals, which meant we could make our connecting flight.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-May 2026
When you fly into Lisbon, prepare for a 2.5 hour line up (no access to washrooms if you are travelling solo as no one will hold your place in line) after you deplane. A passport officer needs to manually check your passport EVEN IF you go through the self serve kiosks. Having an EU passport can save some time, as their line is shorter but the process is the same. Shockingly, after clearing security, duty free, food court and lounges, you will have to endure this process AGAIN on departure day. This comes as a huge surprise to travellers who give themselves minimal time to get from security to the boarding gate (usually 30 minutes is lots of time!) and they are confronted with this process making most everyone late for boarding. It is wildly inefficient and travellers were having anxiety attacks, panicking, and losing their tempers all around me during the wait. My flight was delayed by nearly an hour or I would not have made it. Prepare yourself.

Lisbon’s airport is a mess. Always be ready for a 2-hour line.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Transat-Nov 2025
Reach the airport 4 hours prior to the departure time and check in as soon as possible. Online check in makes no difference unless you want a specific seat.

Get to Athens airport early. 3-4 hours early if you want to be comfortable. There were so many people and the airport wasn't staffed for it. We were there 2 hours early and were last to board the plane. Also had to sit in plane for an hour waiting for ATC to approve taxi and takeoff.

Bring an empty water bottle to fill after security/customs. Buying bottled water is extremely expensive at Schiphol but there several water fountains you can use to fill your bottle and bring onboard. Schiphol has excellent facilities to charge your devices. Montreal terminal restaurants are extremely expensive. Bring snacks with you. The customs automated gates has been a game changer at Canadian airports. I was out within a few minutes. It used to take 60-90 minutes before.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-May 2025
Get to MXP airport early, as it is under major renovation: the escalators to get from the train station to the departures area do not work, and there are long lines at the lifts.
BeatFlew with SWISS-Dec 2024
Zurich is a much larger airport than Geneva, and if you're coming from a connecting flight, be prepared to walk a lot to change terminal, going up and down quite a bit, using a metro to switch terminal. Note that it takes at least 15-20 minutes to go from Terminal A to terminal E (international flights) and you'll have to go thru customs to exit the European Schengen space. In this aspect, Geneva is much smaller and has now a modernized international terminal with a nice view on the tarmac.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Sep 2024
Bring a neck ring pillow for international flights. For the comfort and sleep of other customers, please be considerate and keep the window covers closed once the plane is in the air and at least until 30 minutes before landing.

We arrived early , check in process and navigation through airport was very easy and fast , later it got much busier.

I hadn’t noticed that my second flight was on Air Canada Rouge from TO to Kelowna. No entertainment and few food options. My bad bc it was explained but i hadn’t noticed. So note whether it the regular AC carrier or the budget service. I’d booked a flex flight so assumed all were the same level. But it was clearly explained, I just did’t notice at the time of booking.

Most airlines accommodate senior couples together. For us even though there were empty seats on the plane we were given seating not next to one another. Also make sure to check your phone for messages since gates often change

ChristopherFlew with Air Canada-Sep 2024
Boarding of the plane is a nightmare, and the gate staff don’t allow sufficient time for each zone to board in order. Get in line ASAP and just start board as soon as they begin letting people on the plane. Also, the self service check in machines won’t print baggage tags (we tried four different machines and none of them would print a baggage tag even though we had done online check in to indicate that we had checked bags).
LisaFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2024
Leave extra extra time for international travel. Luckily we knew this, but if others do not be prepared for multiple long lines at customs. Just part of the deal, give yourself extra time and learn to relax!

Check in on time in Athens. They are so busy but do an excellent job getting passengers through the long line ups. We were very impressed with Athens International.

if your final destination is the usa, check your luggage- it will save a lot of time in the Montreal airport get water just before your board.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Jun 2024
Check your bags and carry only a small tote on board. Air Canada is fantastic about letting you know the progress of your bags, where to pick them up, etc. The freedom of not having to haul bags around the airport, onto the plane, off the plane, etc. is well worth the couple of minutes wait for the bags to be deposited on the carousel. Security in Toronto is a mess. This is especially puzzling since one has already been through security in Lisbon. Why one needs do this again is a wonder since transiting passengers are insulated from outside contact while passing through the airport.
BeatFlew with Air Transat-Aug 2024
Air Transat is pretty much the only company flying to Montreal from Basel. Beware that registration happens from the French side of the airport. Security check is not very well organized, be prepared to unpack lots of stuff. Walk to the gate is fairly long.

It's hard to find gluten free food in Frankfurt airport, so bring food with you. Be prepared for the smoke lounges that "leak" out smoke into the hallways - there's frequently, at least a faint smell, of cigarette smoke.

Verified travelerFlew with WestJet-Jul 2024
I heard from other passengers that WestJet does not load passengers using the jet way at Charles de Gaulle airport. There loading involves a flight of stairs from the terminal to a bunch of buses. All passengers are driven 10-15 mins to the aircraft and then, one by one, each bus unloads and passengers climb a ladder into the plane. A horrible experience for anyone with mobility issues or for parents with little kids / strollers. I have also flown Air France to / from CDG and the flights were loaded / unloaded on jetways.
KarenFlew with WestJet-May 2024
Try to book your flights on one reservation to ensure you can book seats together at the 24-hour check-in, or at least giving the airline notice so they will try to put you together.

If you’ve never been to the Frankfurt airport get there early. It’s huge and there is a lot of walking.

Recognise that the flights only go twice a week, so, there isn’t really the option of “just take the next flight” if there’s an issue. Have a Plan B figured out.

It is a long walk to the gate so make sure to leave yourself time. We were told 4 hours ahead and we should have taken that advice.

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.

Good. Mm to I am always generally satisfied with Air Transat! 👍

My screen was broken so now movies, etc, but I didn’t really mind. They did work on it, so good effort on their part.

Arm rests are too small and too close. No screens, movie selection was very limited and poor. Food is pretty much overpriced cheap convenience store food.

Crew was good, helpful. Flight ran on time.would have liked to take airtransat home to MTL. But the price back from San Jose Costa Rica was MUCH more expensive than the flight from MTL to San Jose c.r.

i was not able to take my flight because the information i needed to book my dog correctly was not provided

They never sent me a confirmation to say my flight time had changed so I cut my holiday short by 6 hours Had to pay over 50 American for my luggage to be checked on the way home and that’s more that it cost on the way there. Arbitrarily charging more for the same thing when the passenger has no options is shady The cabin was an icebox going there and back, if all the passengers have their gloves on and their hoods up that should be an obvious sign to turn up the heat

I was very nice to arrive earlier than scheduled. Very much appreciated. No issues with flight. All was good.

The on-board crew were professional and friendly and made the trip feel like we were taken care of well. The gate for the flight departure changed three times...not great but not terrible. Considering it was the day of the New Jalisco Cartel mayhem, we can't really complain.

The Turkish was good . I had a problem with air Transat terrible experience for me

Horribly bag legroom, my legs do not fit even before recline

My ONLY complaint with LOT was the lack of WiFi and the food in business class… still, I use them because they have great connections to Chicago and they fly the 787 - which I think is a great wide body jet. Well… now LOT has WiFi (good satellite speeds) and AMAZING food. LOT now is giving Turkish Airlines a big big run for the money. And they consistently have less expensive business class. I am a very happy customer!

The seat was paid for but given for some different person .

Good in general, but i think the chair is not comfortable for traveling more than 2 hours ..

Everything was very good. I felt that the value received in paying for Business Class tickets was very good. The entertainment offered was plentiful, but could be improved with more recent options as well. By no means a deal-breaker. The staff were awesome, in the airport, at the gate and onboard.

bus ride to the plane was very crowded and had to wait a long time to get to the plane. The flight itself was great.

Together with my family, we all agreed that the LOT crew provided the most wonderful service that could be. We are grateful for such a great experience they provided to us! We will return and share our experience with all our friends and family.! Keep up the good work!

Would have liked to have Wi-Fi on the longer flight (nyc-Warsaw)

My bag was lost despite an almost 8 hour layover in Warsaw. Nearly 12 hours after my arrival, I have not heard anything about it.

The boarding was delayed several times. The take off was two hours late.

short flight but we still got a very nice lunch and the crew did an excellent job in taking care of us

Bad sitting every flight not good experience with food either

It was ok. Not the experience I expected from Turkish airlines

5 unnecessary control before get in the craft. It is exagerated and very inefficient

I recently flew with Turkish Airlines, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I boarded, the crew was incredibly attentive, warm, and professional. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the flight. The highlight, however, was the food! I’ve flown with many airlines, but Turkish Airlines sets the bar incredibly high when it comes to in-flight dining. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The variety of dishes, even on a long-haul flight, was impressive. It felt like dining at a high-end restaurant at 35,000 feet! The seats were comfortable, the entertainment options were great, and the overall atmosphere made the journey enjoyable. Turkish Airlines truly excels in combining luxury and hospitality. I wouldn’t hesitate to fly with them again—highly recommend!

3 hours delay to start with and then food was terrible.

The internet was not working during the 10 hour. This situation was known by the cabin crew before the flight. If so, information should be given to passangers. Some people should work during the flight.

Boarding from Accra was chaotic and disorganized. Otherwise, it was a good flight with good food and customer service

Very disorganised check-in and boarding. We won't fly with them again

The flight was delayed by 1.5 hours without much explanation and they ran out of complimentary bag for inflight comfort. Would like to know if i can can get compensation

Flight delay due to staff shortage. No snack or drinks served. Toilets had water collecting on the floor.

After waiting for hours of delays, the flight was canceled. We missed our flight to Iceland from Toronto. We tried for hours to get a reasonable replacement flight, but it was the next day before we could even schedule another flight days later. We had to cancel our anniversary trip because we could not get to Iceland on time to keep our reservations. We won’t be flying Air Canada again as they just don’t have the infrastructure to deal with cancellations.

Flight was delayed due to crew/co-pilot change over delay and Pearson scheduling issue. Flight didn't leave until 20:05 which was 15 minutes before it was supposed to land in YYZ.

Because you didn't have the tarmac clear and then had to unboard a plane I missed my connecting flight to CLE. Cost me a day ... a 30 dollar hotel hamburger ... then the next day THAT flight was an hour late to arrive ...

First of all the flight departing from Deer Lake was delayed for 4 hours due to a problem with the plane. Secondly, I am 6ft 2 inches tall, which is not that tall nowadays, but I had no leg room despite having nothing under the seat in front of me. When the person in front of me reclined his seat just a little bit I could not lower my tray all of the way; it rested on my knee not in a horizontal position. Thirdly, I am tired of Air Canada not reinforcing carry on baggage sizes. On the outgoing flight from Toronto to Deer Lake we had trouble finding space in the overhead bins. Some people were putting luggage in them that were definitely larger than carry on size. Airlines should have all carry on luggage checked (using those gadgets designed for that) before one enters security perhaps at the baggage checking counters. Having it there won’t delay boarding and will put the onus on people to follow the luggage size limits.

My flight got Delayed due to the airline. The attending Crewe in Montreal were not super helpful and I arrived 13 1/2 hours late from my original arrival time. Air Canada lost my luggage, they stated they booked me a hotel room overnight at no fee, however when I arrive to the hotel, there was no reservation. It also took me three different attempts to get the hotel, even covered by Air Canada as they were arguing that they were not responsible for this, despite it having been delayed due to the airline. Overall, the service was very very poor and what should’ve been a short five hour trip turned into a 13 1/2 hour saga with me, spending a night in a random airport overnight due to Air Canada’s errors, and searching for my luggage until 2 o’clock in the morning. I will never fly Air Canada again.

The only problem that I have is if you have questions about your flight ✈️ there's no one to communicate with when you call 📱.

$2600 for the flight with food then not even a dog will eat specially breakfast

Air canada charged me for a carry on bag that I did not have.

Contacting Canada air was a disaster. I will never fly Canada air again. If you called their 1-800 number, you were told that you might have to stay on the line for two hours. That is a disgrace. You should be able to speak to a human within the first 10-15 minutes. I went over to a cluster of phones and a lot of people were on hold with Canada air for 2-3 hours. This is why I will never fly Canada air again.

The longer flight on our leg back to the US was fine. Boarding was great, we had to stay on the runway for a bit after boarding… they kept it cool uncomfortable.

In my first flight with Air Canada we sat in the plane for 4:00pm to 6:30pm. Finally we were asked to get off the plane and we were told the flight was cancelled after 7:00pm There was o clear explanation of what was the problem. I was booked without my permission on a Delta Flight at 7:30pm that was leaving at 8:00pm and I still had to go get my luggage(my final destination was Rome with one stop in Toronto. The luggage claim for Canada was closed so had to return to finally get it on the luggage belt.. Of course I missed the Delta flight and all the next day flights were booked. I also lost what I paid for my stay in Rome because I did nt cancel in time. A complete nightmare.

The flight was delayed 7 hours and we were given 10 euros vouchers. This is ridiculous. The crew was not nice at all, they just did their job with serving food and drinks. Did not even apologize for the delay!!!!

Paid for exit row at the back of the plane. Window seat with lots of leg space. Food was inedible (as usual). Brought my own.

Missed flight. Requested assistance for my father and he did not receive it in Paris.

Business Class was very comfortable and the food and service was top notch.

The crew was very nice. The equipment on the 747 felt old.

As expected. Would have appreciated a 3-day headsup reminder as a reassurance that all is well.

Poor food on flight between Toronto and Stockholm Airport Toronto too crowded

Business Class Configuration was excellent- private and comfortable. Crew and service were excellent. I really appreciate Air Canada cabin pressurization equal to an altitude of 8,000ft. Upon landing, I felt more alert and refreshed than typical for international flights
