The pretzels were rather dry and dusty. I do appreciate having a choice between sweet and savory snack.
Our AC flight was canceled not once but twice on the same day to Quebec City at Toronto Pearson Airport. 2;30 AC and 9;40PM AC flight. After having our 2:35 flight canceled, we were bumped the second time because of large student groups visiting Quebec City. We were sent to Montreal on an 11:30 flight which landed close to 12:45AM. We were given a hotel room at the Marriot Hotel next to the airport. We had less than 4 hours sleep before we being taken to the airport for our 7AM flight to Quebec City. We didn't have much time to use our vouchers given for breakfast once we had cleared customs for the 2nd time since leaving Toronto Pearson Airport. We missed a full evening in Quebec City and lost our hotel room for the night. We were exhausted the next day and missed an excursion we had planned. My wife and I are both seniors in our seventies, and we weren't happy to be treated in this manner. Air Canada could have used a larger plane to accommodate us and the other ten or so people that were bumped from their flight to Quebec City in order to accommodate student groups. We will endeavor never to fly Air Canada again in future and we will not recommend flying with this airline to our friends and families.
After waiting in the airport from 7am (to make sure we had enough time for security), our flight was continually delayed until it was canceled. They tried to book us on a Delta flight, which we considered and even went to the Delta terminal with our luggage (which was stowed and then available once the flight was canceled (about 15 min away) but were then informed that we would need to retrieve our luggage at LaGuardia and then recheck in to Air Canada in New York, grab our luggage, and then get to the air canada terminal and re-check in. We decided against it, took our luggage into an uber home and then drive the 6.5 hours (one way) to Montreal instead.
You was on strike and I had to get another r flight and you did not give me my money back
the seats aren't the most comfy -- too little padding and I could feel whatever the passenger behind me was doing. Otherwise, it's all good.
Just kinda of a bus ride … we could do better. Delay in the flight :(
I can't say as it was cancelled and rerouted to Toronto. I had an unexpected 10 hour layover there. A new delay every hour, Flights overbooked. Misinformation given from registration to help desks. A long exhausting day of travel on the way home.
Air Canada is the worst airline I have ever flown. They lost my luggage, cancelled my flight, refused to pay for a hotel, charged me for business class even though they changed my flight to economy and there is no process to get someone on phone. Would not recommend Air Canada to my worst enemy.
Planes were clean. Flights on time. Boarding very smooth. Flight attendants were great.
The food was lousy. No options whatsoever . The checking staff was rude and changed the reserved seat from what I selected from the web site. They claimed that I did not have the right for the seat I selected. Yet nothing indicated that I could not. The lady that was handling my checking was rude and condescending. She asked me to prove that I actually picked the seat assignment online. When I showed her my confirmation she disagreed with me. Second issue was the back and forth on the flight schedule. Two days before hand I got a notice that the flight was delayed by two hours. Next day another notice that the delay was now three hours. No explanation was given. On the day of the flight I was informed that the cause was a delay from the incoming flight from Algiers. This makes absolutely no sense to know ahead of time that a flight would be delayed. The cherry on the cake was another status telling me that the flight was actually gonna take off 30 minutes earlier yet it did not. This was a very negative flight overall. I have flown AC since the mid seventies and this was my worst trip. Hope AC will address these issues and provide again the service we have been accustomed to.
