Amazing airline relatively speaking. Leg room, snacks, drinks make the trip easier. Great service
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.
The Flight took off 2hrs late because there was no pilot showing up when the flight was ready to board.. Though the cabin crew was present and had prepared the plane, the FO turned around after 15 min and went away. A crew to fly the plane finally arrived over an hour later and we were able to board 1h30 min later than planned time... until everything was loaded, we left 2h late from the gate. This was a small plane, so don't expect any Entertainment... Wi-Fi access on board would work, but took an awful amount of time to figure out and get it work (I'm an IT person). Flying as VIPorter customer, I was expecting at least some warm meal, but everything served was just cold.. except the coffee maybe. Even in so-called VIPorter seats, space is cramped and trays are so tiny, you can barely setup your food. Flight caught up during the coast-to-coast crossing and was able to recoup about 45 min from the delay.. still arrived very late in Vancouver and had to wait a long time to get our registered bags. Let's see how the return flight will be in a few days..
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.
On my e-boarding pass it shows free wifi, yet the plane I was on didn’t have wifi. Please remove false advertising from your website and boarding passes
Organization and the adjusted times but the snacks could be of a bigger portion
Seemed like an old plane. Very noisy. The seat cushions were so old that the metal bracing of the seats were poking through. There was plenty of leg room though.
The only issue had when i mentioned about comfort was the man beside me was on the larger side and took about 1/3 of my seat where i was pressed against the wall/window of the plane for the trip.
Overall, it was good. I was seating next to a wonderful lady and did not notice how time flew. Thanks
Very nice and clean plane. Transit time between flights was tight though
So far so good but food and entertainment are not available for this flight
HORRIBLE WITH THEIR WEBSITE!!! WORST WEBSITE IN THE WHOLE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
There was no room in overhead bin to place our luggage despite we had tree seats. It means a lot of people had more than 1 carry on bags. When I asked a crew member to help she said that it was not her responsibility.
The plane used to go to Chicago was a bit outdated and needed a refresh
The check-in and passport submission was complicated and repetitive, due to the poor communication between Air Canada and United. There should have been a single set of instructions and a single questionnaire that provided the data for both airlines.
It was good! Appreciated that it was very on schedule so it made the connecting flight less stressful
Internet was not working for a bet . Hard to order food with our credit card because it was not in your system .
Booked economy through United - air canada treated it as standby and was almost refused boarding.
It was our first time flying wit Air Canada. I found most everything very good, however, our flights leaving and returning were both delayed. And we were met with no place to de-board the plane and had to wait an additional 45 minutes on the plane after arrival. That was very disappointing. Also hefty fees both ways on what would normally be a carry on bag on any other airline.
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.
Great flights. Only criticism is when landed I. Montreal, wheelchair service has no signage or anyone letting you know where to go , just an older gentleman at the desk looking confused
This is a regional jet. As far as those go it was average. Again poor quality for an expensive seat. Not worth the upgrade
All went really well. Except that I was randomly chosen to be thoroughly checked!!
Terrible! Our flight was cancelled. No other nonstop flights available. Had to rent a car and drive 7 hours!
Gate changed twice, boarding late. However, there was more than usual leg room. Crew was fine. No entertainment due to computer problem.
I was treated poorly after contacting customer service, including invasive security enhancements and being waitlisted suddenly for a flight I’d bought over a month prior. I interpret this treatment as intentional.
Never got to our destination ir back because of airplane maintenance that delayed outgoing flight by five and a half hours
My flight was canceled as I was on my way to the airport. Was on hold with Air Canada for 45 minutes and was cut off:(
Cabin was bone dry, no humidity whatsoever, and pretty warm; and beverage service didn't start for at least an hour. I had to go to the back for water and the FAs tried telling me it was always this way for all Miami flights, which is complete nonsense. Avoid the MAX8 like the plague.
Flight was 2+ hours delayed and they “misplaced” all 3 of our checked-in bags.
These was no gate agent until the last minute when the flight was ready to board, an hour late. The status board at the gate was not updated, had the wrong times on it, and nobody knew what was going on or if the flight would even actually take place since there was no gate agent to provide any information. When the agent finally arrived, there was no explanation why we were an hour late.
Flight was very good. For most part on-flight customer service was great, though online entertainment didn't work. What wasn't good was American Airlines service in Philadelphia. Our plane was delayed out of Naples due to weather, which was understansdable. But customer service to help us make connections to Kansas City was non existent, even though we were told there would be AA reps at the airport to help direct us where to go. When we asked for help, directions were conflicting. As a result we barely made our KC connection. And our bags didn't arrive until next day. For all their app technology, their human service was a bit lacking.
Internet is much improved, which is very important to me a s a business traveler. The off boarding of the plane was fantastic. Very quick and very orderly. We had to check our carry-ons before we got on the plane and they were retrieved and available to us very quickly. We left on time and arrived early. All very good things
The flight was on time and crew were nice, seats were tight and there was entertainment available
Worst flight ever. I was suppose to have a 3 1/2 hour layover in Chicago but got to the gate 4 minutes before boarding.
A cookie and a soda, packed like sardines, will never be a positive experience. Also, boarded a 5:30 flight at 7:45pm
The crew was very helpful and the aircraft was clean. More attentiveness to us in business class.
The flight was delayed multiple times. I had to buy a new tickets (4 tickets) for my family for a total of $5200 cnd And missed thanks giving with our family. Very very poor and disappointing service.
