Check if the plane you are flying out on has had the inbound prior flight delayed. Because: My flight AC157 shoed as “On Time” departure on the Air Canada and FlightAware web sites…. Yet FlightAware showed my incomming-prior plane as almost 4-hours late. I called air canada and they couldn’t do anything other than admit that seemed strange. Three hours later I got a message that my flight was in fact delayed because of the prior late departure . I had gone to thye airport early because I knew there would be a problem and got one of the pnly 4 remaining seats on the earlier flight

While I understand that airlines operate as businesses, it’s increasingly clear that profit often takes priority over passenger experience. If there are viable alternatives to air travel—or even creative ways to break up a trip using different carriers—I will absolutely consider them in the future to avoid contributing further to practices I find frustrating. For example, I’ve already found more affordable options for future travel between Vancouver and Toronto. Next time, I may opt to book with two separate airlines if it allows me to save money and avoid rigid policies that don’t serve passengers well.

Toronto airport terminal 1 is quite boring without many places to shop. If possible get there as late as you possibly can unless you plan to just watch your phone for 1.5 - 2 hours. Also mind that even if you were assigned a specific seat at the time of check-in, it is not guaranteed that you will sit there if there happens to be an obese passenger nearby you because you will likely have to give up your aisle seat for them.

If you are taking a carry-on, Porter offers a great service where before you board the plane they have Porter Gate service where they will take your carry-on and when you arrive at your destination your carry-on will be waiting for you outside the plane. So you do not have to worry about the overhead and not having space.

Do not buy duty free alchol at the Puerto Vallarta Airport. They do not seal the bag and it will be rejected when you arrive ready for your connecting flight.

- Try to bring as little luggage as possible. Nowadays ALL airlines charge you for bringing basically anything other than a little purse/laptop/small backpack! It is getting ridiculous! - Bring food, because all airlines charge an obscene amount of money for a sandwich and/or a pop. - Come early. The airline (or the the airport) might have to change the gate, so there could be some running around.

It is harder and harder to find low cost carriers in the Canadian market. Air Canada and West Jet offer the highest quality, but the lowest overall value due to prove gouging. If you can sacrifice some of the benefits of in-flight meals and easy check-in availability, then airlines such as Flair can be a worthy option.

Flying from Orlando to Toronto - if it is during a busy time like US thanksgiving, Christmas or spring break you NEED TO BE AT MCO 3 hours prior to boarding to make it through check in and security.

Load up your ipad to watch what you want to watch. Take your own food or check your ticket doesn't include food. Not sure there are any good airlines from Honolulu to Vancouver.

Easy boarding. No need to show up early 2hr or so before boardinf. You can come 1hr or even 30min before boarding. Get your own food before flying...you might starve

If you want food options while you wait don’t wait until you go to your gate, flights to Fredericton leave an area of the Montreal airport with not many food options

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..

The flight booking code given by Kayak was not the correct one used by the airline. I had to call to get the correct one. It was never sent to me. Totally unacceptable!

Due to a known technical error that Porter has not fixed in over a year, I was unable to check in the children on my reservation online and had to do it at the airport. Upon check in, there were no seats together, which was an issue as we had young children. The gate agent did manage to seat us together by moving other passengers, which was appreciated, but the other passengers were never informed, leading to confusion and delay upon boarding. The flight was over an hour late; no explanation or apology was ever issued. The bags on Porter take a long time to arrive--over half an hour at Hamilton on my inbound flight, and not much better on my return to Edmonton.

Much roomer than air Canada! Great flight for the price. No complaints

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

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.

Other than wifi no on board entertainment. Will use them again, roomier seats than other airlines and snacks and beverages, better than average

I like it, but the food isn't good. They need to offer more simple things. This bowls that have so many things your don't know what your are eating. The milenials like it, no the rest. And last but not least, they allowed somebody have a huge dog, vey agressive and fidgety in the flight. That's horrible. No animals should be allowed inside the airplane, what about allergies, etc

Smaller plane. Food and bar service for free is amazing. Drinks were in glass not plastic cups.

The Turkish was good . I had a problem with air Transat terrible experience for me

I did not like I have been charged for my carry on

Onward flight was okay. return from Lisbon was poor as we missed our flight due to a long line at the passport control. Air Transat made no effort to accommodate us even though we were at the passport control 40 minutes prior to the departure.

Very good. A lot better experience then I expected for an economy flight.

It was very good but no tv but the experience was great

Thank you for making my first experience very enjoyable. You made it all very pleasant

Great flight great seats will absolutely fly with you again

Porter airlines was good. I didn't have the best experience when booking through airfare assist however, as I got no final confirmation from them that the flight was booked until I called them. Even then, the confirmation code they gave me was incorrect and couldn't be used for check in. On a positive note airfare assist was actually picked up the phone relatively quickly when calling

The flight crew were very good, polite, and professional. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience left much to be desired. The food was extremely bland—almost tasteless. We chose the non vegetarian .The lasagna was just plain pasta with a tiny garnish and no seasoning. It felt like eating starch only, The bigger issue was with luggage and space. We boarded with three tickets, and while the seats in front of us were nearly empty, all the overhead compartments had already been filled by passengers boarding to the back. This left us and many others with no overhead storage for our carry-ons. Our bags couldn’t fit well under the seats either, which meant we lost the little legroom we had. The result was a horrible, cramped experience—sore knees, no space to stretch, and no way to rest or sleep comfortably. According to the crew this was a rather normal thing. It is obviously normal that people board with handbag and carry on but they should be only allowed to use their overhead compartment and under their seat not the way it is managed that all the spaces in the front of the plane being occupied by the people sitting way back in the plane.

Nice complete meal included and great services. Plus the plane was very clean.

Flight was good, crew was excellent. No complaints at all

Delayed 3 times in a row for 4 hours total. Incrementally pushing back the flight claiming gate delays but they eventually changed the actual plane, due to technical issues. This strategy to avoid compensation to passengers is unprofessional.

The flight was full and good as could be expected. We arrived early which is always a good thing.

Plane was one hour late. Hardly any space for our carry-ons. Stressful to catch connections.

The delays were never ending and we were never properly informed as to why. 1st and 2nd delay were handled well, but by the time we received our 7th delay, and then subsequently asked to willingly get bumped, it turned into one of the worst flying situations of my life. I didn’t get home until 2am which is roughly 5 hours later than originally planned.

Plane seating was uncomfortable, very tight fitting for someone my height, did not recline and overall un enjoyable

No food, water, snacks.”beverages”. This was on Christmas Day. Upgrading cost $100, for what exactly?

Flight was 4 hours late. Landed at almost 1am instead of 9pm. No explanation given. The new seat configuration is the absolute worst. Uncomfortable seats, unreasonably warm. In flight "entertainment" is just wifi. We're expected to use our own streaming services. Terrible, terrible flight.

Everything was good except for flight delay, but it was because of the snow storm in the arrival airport.

Very short flight. No food or entertainment required. Nice crew. Flight left late.

For my third flight in a row on AC 737 Max 8, it was stuffy and warm, especially mid-cabin, Business Class and rear cabin were better. Very uncomfortable 5 hour flight. Do all 737 Max 8 maybe have an HVAC software problem as well or just Air Canada?

The plane was delayed substantially due to a mechanical problem, that being said, the airline was very fair with providing a meal coupon for us. I would rather arrive late on a mechanically sound plane than the alternative. The food served in the plane was just awful, however and I recommend a new catering company.

Very bed experience never want to travel air canada anymore

The international flights (interior space) is ridiculously small. The aisle way is similar to a discount domestic shuttle. Same applies to the intercontinental flights. The luggage storage space is also incredibly small. The entire experience is rough on a traveler and you pay with your hide and body for not flying let’s say an American or Delta type airline.

I liked all of it, and excited to do it again~* Thank you, and Much LoVe and Respect, CHRiS aka KRYSTOE 👣🎵 http://www.chrisrousemusic.bandcamp.com Google = chrisrousemusic and/or KRYSTOE

It was a very small plane and was ok. No food or entertainment so there should be an option for NA.

I travelled in Business class for the first time and wish I could do that again.

I always had the best experience for the professionalism of the crew and the way they make you feel as a family!!!

Terrible, delayed flights lost luggage and lost hotel fees. Missed meetings. Overnight in airport every air canada flight was a cluster mess.

It was good, seating was a little tight apart from that all was well.

Their "free personal" requirement is to have your bag fit in a containment frame that is way too narrow and slender than the space under the actual plane seat (the length of my vitamin water was longer than the width of the containment frame. They had personel at the gate literally designated to hounding people's bags in the zone line up, and forcing them to measure their bag again if he felt "the bag might be too big for personal item". If your bag was too big for their scamming measurement criteria you had to fork up $110 CAD for the carry on cost ($85 at the 24hr online pre-check in). Plane had no entertainment, seats did not recline, and no complimentary snacks or drinks. Unless I have a short flight with zero bags, I won't be flying Flair ever again.

Flight attendant said bye bud. Lol peak flair right there

On time flight. Reasonably comfortable seats. Disliked having to pay for refreshment and snacks.

Very bead I am going to Vancouver to toronto. Not boarding receive. Before flight ✈️ time I have to take boarding. Boarding manager asking me pay $89 . Just flight ✈️ time before I pay .after provided the Boarding pass. Flair Airlines management not good. But kayak is best application.

Not good Even after I made my booking, I was charged $90 for my boarding pass. I have collected boarding pass i pay $90 near . Flair airline not good. Without pay no boarding pass.

The flight was smooth, but the seats are not comfortable. I was not able to sleep. The sizes for the personal item and carry-on are way smaller than other airlines.

Leg room was terrible and seats very narrow. Flight was also delayed.

The worst airline experience that I ever had in my life. The fare was cheap but boy do you pay for it when it comes to baggages, carry-ons, food on board and lack of available staff at check-in. Almost every other passenger on my flight had the same complaints and experience. We all bonded discussing our displeasure. My husband and I will definitely not be traveling with Flair Airlines. We'll take anyone else.

The most uncomfortable plane I ever fly on. The seats won't even recline a little. For a 5 hrs flight at night and tired it felt like torture

Seats in 1 res are dispersed all over the plane, even child was across
