As mentioned before the fact that my paid-for aisle seats had been changed to non-aisle seats is unacceptable. Happily one staff member at the boarding counter did correct it before the flights, otherwise I would have been forced to submit a formal complaint. If it happens again on return flights, I will put in a formal complaint.
Another good flight experience with Air Canada. The business section did not feature the full length sleeping arrangement, but this was a shorter trip. The food was excellent. But the flight crew was truly top tier: friendly, cheerful, helpful at all the right times. Air Canada truly outshines all U.S. carriers.
Everything could be better, the worst is the crew, looks like they are not happy in the work. Air Canada is downhill for years, every flight looks worst. Hope they can fix the issues, by now, just flying AC in toutes with no other alternatives. Shame.
This was my second leg of my trip and was delayed so was worried about my connection in Montreal. Still hungry so on boarding I asked a flight attendant if I could use my $14.00 voucher on the plane for food as I was starving. She said she would check and let me know but she never came back. So no food again as none was offered. Had to get my bags and check them again and that was ok but don’t understand why I had to go through security and because of them almost missed my flight. No food offered nor possibility to purchase food so still hungry and just watched a movie and hoped I could get food when I landed. Was able to use the $14.00 voucher to buy something and had my family bring food as I was now starving. I’ve been travelling on AC for years and this was my worst experience ever. After our flight got cancelled in SXM and was told the staff there didn’t work for AC so couldn’t do much to help us was not a good experience
Staff looked unprofessional. Sloppy uniforms and hardly a smile to be found
After 3 hours of delays, they ended up cancelling my flight. And although I could purchase one-way tickets to get to my destination, they would not offer me these flights as compensation for the cancelled flight, and I didn't end up making it home until 13 hours after I was originally supposed to arrive. It made for an extremely strenuous end to an otherwise good trip.
Be careful about the bad policy and when purchasing seats
Very disappointed with premier lounge. Food selection very poor, both coffee machines out of order. For the price you charge for an upgrade, the seats don’t fully recline, movie selection is old. Not very good value. Asian airlines are light years ahead at a more affordable price.
Flight late with no explanation why so late boarding. More than made up the time in flight. Woman in seat behind me would not allow me to recline my seat so could not sleep. Slow to clean up after meal so has to leave my tray down. Flight attendants average at best. Premium economy experience was poor. It was a special trip for us, a 70th birthday. We could only book seats that were apart and no efforts could be made to get us together. Just poor all around
Business Class was great with two exceptions: they should board Business Class Only first, then loyalty, then handicapped and families with young children then by zone. With all the loyalty and credit card holders and families with kids, dozens boarded before us and we were in row 3. My only other compliant with Air Canada is they don’t serve drinks and snacks in business class until at a cruising altitude. Transat and Emirates serve prior to takeoff which is especially nice during boarding of big planes and de-icing.
Most things went well, but the legroom was lacking. The crew were great.
I was very happy to see that Lufthansa had direct flights from Frankfurt to Tampa. The pasta dinner was delicious, but the pizza wasn't that good. I suggest a selection of wurst and cheese with crackers or an egg wrap might be more refreshing.
Good food, overall very comfy. The flight was full so obviously not optimal, but it is what it is.
Parents with permanently crying baby on board. Neither parents nor crew did anything to calm the baby. The food was extremely disappointing. Seafood stew was very, very small! Not even appetizer size! Seat had a gap in the back. Had to use a pillow to fill it.
Food choices limited & not enticing Seats quite uncomfortable & difficult to control
You deleted my connection ticket home and I am stuck in Seattle!!!!!!!!!!!
The already delayed flight took an hour to find no-show passenger bags, which seemed long. Flight attendants only provided flight transfer information to a few passengers not all.
It could not have been cancelled and the rebooking pro could have been smooth, not requiring me to be on hold and standing at check-in counter at Air Canada (not AC fault) for a total of 3 hours. Ridiculous.
Never took the flight due to strikes which happens but there was no timely coordination to find me new flights. I had to call Lufthansa and Kayak support only to be given no good options and a 75% refund. Ended up spending way more for alternative flights that I coordinated myself for a trip I had booked 6 months prior.
Definitely get premium economy on a flight this long if you can. Your legs and while body will thank you.
