I got a fortunate upgrade to First Class. The trip was outstanding in every regard, with a particular shout-out to the crew, who were outstanding.
The chicken on the flight Boston to Zurich wasn’t very good. It was bland passable. Too much sugar in the Cole slaw. Cabbage is an amazing veg and can be much more crisp and alive. Flight attendants were Wonderful! Seats were a bit beat up but okay. In economy it was tight when the person in front learned back the screen became too close.
The flight did not take place because the flight was canceled and I still have not received a refund for the flight.
Zürich to Boston was great. Nice to Zurich was not bad
The staff were nice people, the food was very cheap, one of the meal was a sandwich or nothing, I couldn't buy any food, mind expensive duty free WAS available right away. 🤒
I took this flight to be able to fly with Swiss instead of Air Canada from Geneva.. The AC planes have a better outfit in Business class than Swiss, but the service aboard Swiss is really best, first-class, as is the food and beverages. Though using the same plane model (A330-300), the interior setup of the cabin starts to show its age, but IMO the planes are better serviced by Swiss than AC. I had in my recent trips with AC way too many technical problems that led to delays or even complete cancellation of my flight.. Their fleet is aging (average 20+ years) and the maintenance has taken a toll compared to years ago. Cutting costs in every corner has to be paid sometime by someone, and it's the travelers at the end that pays for it. Unfortunately for me, flying directly to Zurich puts a much longer after-fly trip on me than Geneva.. so I might go back to direct flight YUL-GVA, even if I don't like flying with AC.
I thought the flight crew was very attentive and the food was excellent. The only issues I had were the flight delays. A small one out of Sarajevo and a longer one out of Zurich.
The only problem is, we arrived in Miami with no luggage. We waited an hour and 20 minutes at the carousel. There was no one to tell us that all the luggage had come out. There were many people in the same disposition. They say 20% of the luggage never arrived in Miami.
Thank you for waiting for us after our first flight was delayed
Wonderful experience! The crew was outstanding and amazing from check in to gate to flight crew! Amazing. Thank you!
The crew was not professional enough for that time. Multimedia connection had a problem frequently
They changed the return flight to the next day and it interrupted the plans we had in our connecting city.
5 unnecessary control before get in the craft. It is exagerated and very inefficient
3 hours delay to start with and then food was terrible.
Horrible, they forgot our luggage, the food was terrible, the crew were rude, the flight was delayed, I hated every aspect of this flight
I really didn’t like much. A lot of things can be better beginning with crew to seats and food is awful as well.
The internet was not working during the 10 hour. This situation was known by the cabin crew before the flight. If so, information should be given to passangers. Some people should work during the flight.
Very disorganised check-in and boarding. We won't fly with them again
Loved the check-in experience. Very friendly staff and not crowded. I did wind up with a middle-middle seat, which was quite uncomfortable. Always appreciate the very professional staff on TAL.
Paying for reserved seats and never received the seats I paid for !! Just fake and a surprise out of their " box "
1st time using air Canada. We were a little delayed waiting for a new plane that did alter our plans for the evening but it was handled as best as possible. Everyone was pleasant.
The people were awesome, my only complaint is the lack of business lounges
Chaos diri g check in. Rude attitude of staff at gate. Entertainment stopped working. Uncomfortable seats and little underseat space
We were sitting in the back of the plane, and they ran out of some food by the time they reached us (last). We didn’t pay less than others so we shouldn’t be treated as lesser for sitting closer to the back. Also, there was a very long baggage check in delay (1hr +) at CDG due to luggage belt malfunction with over 100 passengers affected, yet boarding and take off remained on schedule. We nearly missed the final boarding despite being at the airport 3+ hours ahead of our flight
Same as my Tulsa to Chicago flight, this one was quick and professional.
Like the crew, the wifi set up was a trip. Might have been my device though
Everything it's was good; except food and poor drinks, I talk about water.
So cold. Too cold to sleep. Too cold to get comfortable. Wearing boots and a jacket and still so cold that I would need to curl up if a plane actually had enough room to allow me to do that. Miserable.
Everything was excellent. I had lost my ID card and the flight attendant found it for me.
Flight attendants announced that the flight had engine issue and they could not find the tool to fix it. Passengers stayed on the flight for hours and they announced that they found the tool, but not sure how long it would take. So everyone got off the flights they issued lunch vouchers by using boarding pass, however, mine didn’t work at all. The flight was delayed for more than 4 hours! They rebooked my connecting flight with only 1 hour connecting time, and the 1st flight was delayed again. How worse could it be? I’m glad the engine actually works and everyone is safe.
