Cons: "Not the airline’s fault but we were delayed. That’s the only thing that could have been better"
Pros: "Bunch of crooks gave me the wrong time. Missed my flight"
Cons: "Getting correct to information"
Cons: "Canceling flights with no notice and rescheduling made me lose a day"
Cons: "The same flight leaving an hour and a half after ours left before ours. I don’t understand how exactly that works the gates were directly next to one another."
Pros: "Crew was very attentive and pleasant."
Cons: "Stop charging for carry on baggage for outside of Canada flights."
Cons: "Best check in. Allowed earlier flight for a fee which turned out to be 30 minutes delayed but overall excellent check in and crew. Love porter"
Pros: "The crew was very nice, and I love the complimentary craft beer!"
Pros: "Snack options, flight attendants"
Cons: "Flight was delayed only a few minutes before initial boarding. The inconsistent communication ‘tween screens, loud speaker, & sent to my phone lead me to wait on line to speak to the person at the gate for clarity-when my turn came he did not help me but some pushy other passenger despite my protest"
Cons: "I was caught off guard to find out at time of check-in that I had to pay a substantial amount for carry-on when I had specifically asked for a carry-on not just a personal item when booking my reservation. I ended up paying more than saving where I could gone with another company.VERY DISAPPOINTED"
Pros: "Very polite"
Cons: "Nothing. This’s my first trip with Porter. Excellent in everything."
My flight was late/delayed and subject to technical faults. The conditions in/during the flight were awful and the whole trip was very unpleasant and stressful. Air Canada should be avoided whenever possible. Both Lufhansa and BA are, for example, much superior.
We originally booked thru Kayak to and it showed a Lufthansa flight (same time as said United flight we actually took). (Newark, USA to Nice, France) After booking thru kayak a third party emailed us (chatdeal). Chat deal stated on the email the flight is thru Air Canada. Which is not what we picked. Same flight times on both We were confirmed for the flight as per customer service (chat deal) on a late night call at 3:00am local time that we are in fact confirmed thru air Canada. When we got to the gate, air Canada no where to be found it is thru United. I checked multiple travelers who booked their flight is was always a United airlines flight. Never a air Canada flight Why did kayak switch us over to a third party and why did our flight we originally picked thru Lufthansa change over to air Canada (after payment) only to be on a United airlines flight Note now that our return flight on Saturday is coming up, we have no confirmation from either United or air Canada (which shows up on kayak/ chatdeal invoice)
Plus; Easy check in. Organized and efficient crew. Minus; Legroom on plane. Wiped down armrests and tray table with a Clorox wipe and wipe showed more dirt than I thought was there.
On July 1, 2023, I reached out to Air Canada via telephone. After a two-hour hold time, A representative called me back and asked me to confirm my Aeroplan account info. I used the account number, provided on my ticket. The representative told me the information I provided was incorrect. The representative disconnected the call without further assistance. I called Air Canada via telephone a second time and received a callback at 11:06. I started the conversation with the representative by explaining that there was an issue with my Aeroplan account info and the last representative hung up on me. Apparently, my ticket was assigned the wrong Aeroplan number by your own negligence. The issue was resolved by updating my parties' tickets with the correct Aeroplan numbers. Now back to the primary issue, I raised concerns with the new representative about the flight delays and cancelations occurring within the week prior to our trip. The rep assured me if there was a flight delay or cancelation, I would receive an email and be able to change my flight online. I expressed my concern about flying into Toronto and missing my connecting flight due to flight delays. (There were no available seats on any flight to Tokoyo on July 2 or July 3rd from Toronto.) The representative assured me there would be alternative flights out of JFK, taking alternative routes. I received an email notifying me of a flight delay to Toronto at 12:39 a.m. I attempted to change flights using the link provided. When I attempted to click on "CHANGE MY FLIGHT", your online platform showed a pop-up window that stated I needed to reach out to an Air Canada representative. Unfortunately, your service was not open at 12:40 a.m. I arrived at JFK Airport prior to 7:00 a.m. and waited at the terminal counter. Around 7:10, a rep informed me they would hold the connecting plane in Toronto. They even made a phone call to provide me with assurance. I then requested wheelchair assistance to get my 75-year-old mother and begin checking in our baggage. We checked our bags and headed up to the gate. Around 8:45 a.m., several passenger names were called including my party, to inform us they were no longer holding the plane in Toronto. We were informed to go downstairs to make alternative travel bookings. I requested wheelchair services to bring us back to the terminal counters. At 9:15 my travel party was told at the terminal counter there were no flights for us until July 4th or July 5th. I informed the counter this was unacceptable considering, I attempted to change the flight both yesterday and at the terminal counter this morning. They continued looking for a flight to Japan. They worked out arrangements to get us on a flight to Seoul and then to Tokyo, but we had to take it quickly. I agreed. After I agreed to this flight, the terminal counter informed me I would have to go to a different terminal and would need to take the terminal shuttle train. No wheelchair assistance would be provided. I canceled the trip!
United kept us on the tarmac for 8 hours without giving us the straight story. Cancelled the flight and told us to run to another gate. No flight to Vancouver there only to Ireland. We arranged another flight to Vancouver through Chicago and stayed up all night to get it. That flight was then cancelled. No one at United took responsibility for managing information, There was no way to reschedule until 5 days later and so we didn't go. Lodging costs sunk. Family disappointed, Now I can't get through to get a ticket refund. How do I get a refund for this horrible experience?
We liked the comfort of business class and personalized Service. What we did NOT like was the fact that we had to walk up a very steep ramp. I had to have someone stop and help me up. There was no one to push my husband up in the wheel chair. We had to find another passenger to do that for us. The snacks were of poor quality or the choices that you purchase could be better.
The crew couldn’t have been more delightful! It was my birthday, and they were extra sweet to me. Everything went perfectly.
The flight was delayed. They assigned us a direct flight instead, We are very happy with the changes!
My flight was delayed, cancelled and delayed again. I lost one complete day in Japan, a very needed vacation. My schedule / itinerary in Japan is now all screwed up. It will take more time and cost to resolve this. So, am I happy with Air Canada; NO!
The flight was delayed for 30 min but the airline managed it promptly and professionally. They checked my carry on with no extra cost. I am happy with the service .
