Fruit and cheese platter was dubious quality. The edges of the cheese pieces were dried, plastic looking. Old.

This was a fraudulent transaction. Kayak was at fault for accepting a stolen credit card. Kayak needs to change their verification process.

Airport staff super friendly. Even put us on an earlier flight because we arrived early.

Flight delayed. Thus connection to Paris missed. About 50 people were left alone in YUL for 22 hours. Extra fees involved. No back up from Air Canada. Then the next day issues with luggage (fee paid to Air Canada but flight transfered/ slided onto Air France) .

Air Canada are just not reliable …. Kept cancelling /delaying flights

No food. No Bluetooth for entertainment. Crying babies thought the cabin instead of placing them in the corners.

It was on time. It's all good when the expectation is met.

It was good. Had 2 delays & just about missed both flights. Besides that Overall it was good

As usual with Air Canada, being on schedule would be nice. Tv kept shutting off and having to reset it by staff every time. Irritating.

very disappointing there's no food service on an almost 7 hour long flight
