Flight Boarded and departed on time. The Flight crew was very friendly and accommodating. The aircraft was clean and free from clutter and debris. I will be happy to recommend Air Canada to my friends and relatives for their flight needs. They were very attentive and responsive to our needs as Senior citizens.
Everything. The crew was so friendly, helpful & smiled. We had an excellent flight getting in earlier.
My flightbwas delayed three times consequently I had no other choice then to take a 19 hour flight to Toronot and slept on a bench in Toronto airport before I could get on my 5 hour flight to Mexico City I got food vouchers in Toronto but they were not honored then my luggage was lost My trip was a terrible experience
Flight was cancelled. Not enough agents to deal with the people in the line. We left and found our own way to Vancouver.
My outbound trip on Air Canada was cancelled due to the strike. I had to cancel my return flight after booking with other carriers.
From the kind young lady (w/Vancouver air security) who expedited our check-in to U.S. Customs to the Air Canada gate crew who gave us pre-boarding, the flight attendants who actually offered a strong hand to help me board once I had surrendered my rolling walker at the door, they are all reflections of the thoughtful, genuinely helpful Canadians we have grown to appreciate. Water and other beverages were offered throughout the flight to make sure we weren't dehydrated and the cookie was great. (Husband bought the fruit & crackers snack,) I was delighted to see three movies that I would not have otherwise seen and appreciate that AC left the last film viewable until its conclusion although the flight had actually landed. Last, mahalo to the kind strong gentleman who not offered his hand to help me debark the plane, but gave me an AC pin that I'll truly treasure.
Because I am quite tall a bit more leg room would have been more comfortable. Out of three seats I had the middle one, unfortunately.
It was all great! Everyone was pleasant and cheerful! I was happy to find that the seatbelt fit me....I found last year on another non-Air Canada small plane that I had to request a seatbelt extender and, as a fairly 'normal' menopausal woman who is definitely medically 'obese' and yet not unusually overweight, having to ask for a seatbelt extender was very uncomfortable. I was happy that Jazz, being also a smaller plane with smaller seats, that I did not need to deal with the discomfort and embarrassment because the seatbelt did fit me! I am grateful as even though this seems like a small thing, it has had an impact on me and I've since chosen not to go with that other carrier. I'm sure that Jazz personnel would have been very polite in accommodating me if it had been necessary, just as the other airline's stewards were, however it's in the 'not having to ask' that I have felt much more welcomed and taken care of. Thank you Jazz.
Overall, great experience. Check-in and boarding procedure was smooth and orderly, check-in staff were very pleasant and there were no issues with the expected additional payment for check-in baggage (we knew about it beforehand because it was somewhat clearly listed at purchase time). Improvements: unfortunately with drip pricing becoming a more and more common corporate practice, at every step of the process there should be a clear indicator of anything that should cost money in addition to the price of the ticket and is commonly accepted as part of travel (i.e.--check-in baggage and/or food service on a 6 hour+ flight). This price transparency helps customers make informed decision and not feel like they are being ripped off, especially for something like a flight where you cannot easily change plans at the last second. Also, flight attendants seated in the back of the aircraft (rearmost row, 36, I think on that flight from Vancouver to Honolulu) didn't seem to have a dedicated area and were rather chatty with each other the entire flight. Not really a big deal, but I hadn't seen (or heard) that previously, and the flight was fairly quiet overall, except for a crying child or two.
Nanaimo to Vancouver was fine but flight from Vancouver to SFO was not so hood. Major problem besides 7 hours of weather delay was the fact they let 4 very drunk men on the plane into first class. They were awful! They should never have been allowed on.
