The agent at check in was very cordial and gave me seat 4a with nobody beside me as I asked if possible

Seats not as comfortable but understand as it was a smaller plane/ short flight. All in all, I’ve never had any issues with Porter. Great company to fly with

A few improvements: 1. No signages at the airport that the porter airline was a codeshare and i could check-in at American counter. 2. Crew at the gate said they couldn't change my reward to Alaska - despite that being done previously 3. Despite there being many open seats, i was assigned a seat at the very back near lavatory, last row. Fortunately, the pilot wanted more people moved up so the flight attendants moved me up. It seemed very odd to have been stuck in last row with very few people nearby..

As a first time flyer with Porter I was happy with the service and comfort of the airline.

3.5 hr delay for a 1 hr work flight. No information as to why the delay until 20 mins before boarding.

The flight was half empty yet they charged me $50 for a basic carry on! I saw how passengers of different colors were treated differently.

The flight was fine see earlier note for the problem

The staff is always great. Just the fact that our flight was the only one delayed from Halifax when all other carries were still flying. It happen a year ago out of Toronto as well. All others were flying but our flight got cancelled 1 hr before the time of departure.

Chaotic boarding, but mostly my issues are with Toronto airport

Tight transfer in Montreal. (15 min) However, we made it, as did my luggage.

The flight was delayed and we would have missed our connection. We had to switch to a different airline in another airport

Great setup on both flights except the last flight we got condensed dripping all over me in the last 20 mins of the flight

Allow me to book extra bag check in as free though I packed in 1 luggage but that was 7 LBS overweight so make another bag to free check in.

Strike pissed me n stranded in middle of no where

Air Canada was great! From the airport at Montreal to boarding to the food on board the plane. The crew was great too! There was a slight issue with some other peoples’ tickets that I overheard about but the crew handled with care immediately to ensure everyone was comfortable and we could takeoff! Great experience with Air Canada

My first flight left so late we knew I would miss my connection. Rather than redirecting me then, they made me take a flight to Montreal, then Toronto (there was a flight leaving for Toronto when I was in NYC, no need for me to also go to montreal). Then they gave me a food voucher that did not work (4 places would not accept it). At least they gave me a hotel automatically, even though it was a cheap crappy one. I'm still not home, and it's been over 24 hours. I'm exhausted.

They intentionally delayed the flight by half an hour to accommodate a few fools who didn’t show up in time to clear customs. I missed my connector, missed an important meeting, and was charged a rebooking fee. Never again

Lots of turbulence and had to reroute to Calgary, spending the night there, arriving home a day later. The staff were organized and pleasant, even though they were stressed and tires

Normally it is not a good experience except for this time. The plane wasn't packed, the boarding was fast and even the check-in was pretty good.

We booked return tickets Montreal-NYC-Montreal, booking references 23V7AC and 23UHNC (2 tickets each, we are a family of 4). The returning flight was cancelled (NYC to Montreal on August 7th AC8645) and we have been proposed flights two days later. Due to personal obligations, we could not wait for the flights that you proposed and had to go back to Montreal by bus that same night. After having canceled our flight, we have been partially compensated with USD 465.86 which cover the costs we had to spend on the bus. Nevertheless, we got a USD 15.00 voucher each but only two vouchers could be used, the other two were rejected at scanning (same shop and same scanner for all 4 vouchers). Consequently, we paid USD 30.00 ourselves, which should have been offered to us. At the end, I cannot even find a e-mail address to which I could send the request for reimbursement of these USD 30.00.
