Air Canada was delayed on the initial flight causing us to be put on another flight that took us to a different airport that did not have our connecting flight. We had to rebook the flight from Tokyo to Bangkok when we arrived after clearing customs. We spent and additional 8 hours because of this. Return flight was also delayed on departure but we were able to make or connecting flight in Tokyo. The business seats need improvement, the seats are a bit hard for such a long flight.
My entertainment system was not working for the entire trip. I notified the flight attendant but nothing was changed. I did not get chance to have any movie for entertainment for the entire 13 hrs trip.
Not the greatest. Our initial flight to Tokyo got cancelled due to mechanical issues, which was unfortunate however they worked quickly to get us on another flight and refunded my seat ticket. We flew with Air Canada back home and it was not a good flight. The crew never gave us our second meal and I was awake the whole flight so I know they did not come by. The flight itself was rocky and seats were uncomfortable. In general, for an international flight, I do not think it is fair that we have to pay extra to pick our own seats. I’ve been on many international flights and always had the option to pick my seat during the booking or at online check-in. Furthermore, if the airline is going to automatically pick your seat, it should seat groups together instead of seating them apart. If I already pay thousands of dollars for a flight, I should have this option included.
I cancelled my flight in March and have been waiting for 3 months for the refund. Both flights have taken off and returned now and still no refund.
Not to out myself as both a child at heart and kind of a terrible person, but the Pokémon safety video was the first time I watched an airplane safety video in like a decade. It was ADORABLE!! A great way to encourage attention from young and old alike.
I’m writing to share my deep frustration with a recent experience, which I feel reflects a troubling trend in the airline industry—one where customer care often takes a backseat to profit maximization. First, I do want to acknowledge a positive aspect: I appreciated that your team accommodated a seat change due to my medical needs without charging an additional fee. This gesture made a genuine difference during my trip, and I’m thankful for that. That said, the overall experience left me extremely disappointed. The ticket I purchased for myself and a companion turned out to be “basic”—a fare category I now understand to be non-refundable and non-transferable. Unfortunately, my travel companion was involved in a car accident and could not fly. Not only was I unable to receive any kind of reimbursement, but I also couldn't transfer the ticket to someone else, despite the flight being overbooked by three passengers. This inflexibility felt exploitative. To add to the frustration, I had to shoulder additional unexpected expenses: overpriced in-flight food and a costly baggage fee on my return trip. The entire process felt more like a profit-maximizing scheme than a customer service experience. I understand that airlines, like any business, need to remain financially viable. However, creating fare structures that penalize customers during emergencies, while simultaneously overbooking flights, comes across as deeply unfair. It’s hard to feel like a valued passenger in this environment. While I don’t expect much will come of this message, I do hope Air Canada takes this feedback seriously. There’s an opportunity to lead with integrity in an industry where choices for consumers are becoming more limited and experiences increasingly transactional.
Still haven’t made it home. Delayed twice, then cancelled. Will never fly Air Canada again. Horrible experience.
First time flying with Air Canada and very impressed! We will definitely book with them for future trips.
Very comfortable flight, despite being in the middle section, in the middle seat! Airline staff was very accommodating. Food was good and we just became aware of the meal options. When we flew from Toronto to Osaka, we were offered 2 meat dishes. We are pescatarian. The flight attendant went out of her way to bring us food we could eat. We look forward to flying with Air Canada in the future!
THE AIR CANADA CREW NEEDS TO MORE PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS. UPON TIME OF BOARDING, THERE WAS A SPECIFIC AIR CANADA STAFF WHO WAS EXTEMELY RUDE. WE WAITED ON THE SIDE TO WAIT TO BOARD. SHE AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS ON THE ARM TO SIT WHEN EVERYONE WAS STANDING BY TO BOARD. THEY WERE EXTREMELY UNORGANIZED. EVEN AFTER BOARDING, ONE OF THE STEWARDESS WAS TRYING TO CLOSE THE OVERHEAD LUGGAGE BINS AND I WAS SURPRISED WHEN SHE PUSHED THE PASSENGER'S LEG WITHOUT SAYING "EXCUSE ME". THE STAFF AT AIR CANADA TRULY NEEDS TO LEARN THEIR BOUNDARIES. REGARDING PHYSICAL CONTACT. SUCH BEHAVIOR IS INAPPROPRIATE. AIR CANADA HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE!!!
