Business class is not pods so not 5 star. Could not find a movie I was really interested in.

Business class is not pods so not 5 star. Could not find a movie I was really interested in.

Outstanding even though the 330 was one of the oldest in the fleet. The difference was the attentiveness and responsiveness of a really experienced flight attendant. For airline food great variety of interesting choices and good tastes supported by a good wine selection.

I’m grateful for the KLM Air France shuttle bus service to Ottawa. However due to construction and other issues related to the chaotic Uber pickup system at YUL, it’s a challenge to find the Kelios bus service to Ottawa. The signs are not clear or even available. No staff to guide passengers. It’s a stressful experience.

Flight was on time, staff are friendly and helpful onboard.

The immigration hall in Amsterdam was understaffed, so passport checking was slower than it should be for a major airport. They need to get the automatic readers up and running for non EU passport holders. Waiting in line after a long flight feels a bit abusive.

Klm start boarding while somw air issue in the plan

I appreciate that KLM was proactive in informing me of the 2 hour delay which enabled me to replan my travel. It was a bit stressful not knowing whether my connection from Montreal to Ottawa was happening. But the ground and air crew did a good job at comforting and assuring me.

Good food. Excellent crew service. Clean aircraft. Narrow seats and isle.

It’s chaotic at the bus stop outside of the airport because of the Uber meeting point. You need to be alert and look for the KLM bus which is not branded or labeled. Incorrect information was provided to go to gate 28, when in fact the bus was at gate 27. On the plus side the bus left early and arrived early to Ottawa.

Great flight because I upgraded to Premium Comfort. Made a huge difference in the experience.

Mechanical delay of 2 hours without telling us Canadians of the potential compensation for this delay. As this caused 2 out of three people in our travelling party to miss their connecting flights until the next day.

My flight experience was generally good, but the boarding process was stressful. I was pulled out of line at the gate during the photo ID check, and after being cleared, I was never given an explanation for the delay despite asking for clarification. This lack of communication was the only downside to an otherwise smooth trip.

This was a West Jet leg and was basically on time. Everybody was helpful and kind.

Staff is friendly and helpful but flight was delayed by one hour from Detroit, making for tight window in Toronto to clear Canada Customs and pass through security screening in order to get to connecting flight on time.

After a 5 hour delay waiting at the gate (3 delays adding up) with no clear reason provided, we finally boarded flew 3/4 of the way to Toronto then were turned back to New York. As we neared New York, the pilot declared that it was his fault, something to do with timing and him not being allowed into the country???? How could the airline let his happen? They had hours to prepare and make sure they had a crew available for the flight! We ended up in Toronto a day late with no sleep.

Rode in a smaller plane and short trip meant no snacks, no free wifi or tv. It was only 30min flight so honestly wasn’t a big deal to lack these items.

Overall, terrible. Flight from SFO was delayed due to “air traffic control issues”, and we were all mislead about connecting flights. Told “you have 20 minutes to catch your connection”. Reality was 5. We got to watch the plane sit at the bridge. Won’t fly Delta with a connection again.

We were forced to wait nearly 50 additional minutes before leaving the terminal.

I appreciated friendly service from check-in, to boarding, to in-flight amenities! Attendants were accommodating and helpful. Thank you! Elaine

Forced to check my bag which fit in carry on, boarded and then sat for over an hour waiting to take off with no explanation.

Flight delay in lax which delayed our connecting flight to Copenhagen. Was placed on standby the following day and got delayed again at Scandinavian air. Bad bad counter service at ar Canada in Toronto by the name of Camilla who said that she was doing us a courtesy for even finding a earlier flight for us after we the customer are the ones being inconvenient by the cancellation of our flight. Btw, we are going on a tour. Air Canada is the worse

Seats hard as a rock. My butt went to sleep. Headrest too leaned forward. The seat caused me to be hunched and I was an emergency row so couldn't recline the seat. No pillow or blanket to put behind my back so I don't get off the flight looking like the hunchback of Notre Dame. The wifi for movies didn't work so no entertainment. The flight was rough, but I get that turbulence can sometimes not be avoided. All in all, a pretty terrible flight. The crew did their best and we were on time, so there were some positives.

United, from whom we bought this code-shared flight, mid-flight canceled our tickets for the rest of our itinerary, without explanation. After long delay they tried to re-issue the tickets, but Air Canada could not find the re-issue. It finally resolved after escalation to several layers of supervisors.

All good except waiting for gate for over an hour at Ohare Chicago as usual. People missed flights because of that

Perfect. On time and the weather was perfect so we came in a few minutes early.

On time. Carry on and personal bag was accommodated on the plane. Entertainment was accessible without bringing own device. Whole can of juice was provided rather than a pour.

I enjoyed it, again I believe air Canada has better seating options and better drink options

Upset about cancel to St. John’s and no overnight accomodation

I had a 5 hour lay over in Toronto. Felt very exhausted and bored.

1. Everything was satisfactory concerning the flight. 2. Can't think of what could be better right now.

Plane had cargo loading issues which delayed us by an hour. Not sure when the crew found out about this but it became a real pain.

they could have remembered to put my luggage on the flight, it's frustrating and disappointing to have your bag left behind. now i get to deal with sh** tomorrow. do i have faith that AC will be on top of this? no. the flight was fine, run of the mill AC flight pay up for top notch service.

Flight crew was unremarkable. They were not friendly and had a harsh tone. Truly didn't make us want to make sure we got an air Canada flight again.

Fantastic experience. The flight left early from BGI and the service at the counter in Barbados was very friendly and efficient. The seats were very comfortable with good leg room. Looking forward to flying AC again.

The flight was packed solid which shouldn’t be a problem, but when you realize that if you are over 5’7” tall there is no room to do anything but sit uptight it changes the perspective. Especially when you are in a seat that doesn’t even recline. Those seats should warrant a discount really. It’s preposterous that you have yo pay an extra $60ish to get 10cm more leg room but have to pay the same price as everyone else when you have seemingly less leg room and can’t even put your seat back the wee bit everyone else can. Offer them at a discount on booking even. I know tons of travelling kids/young people who wouldn’t mind sitting like that for five hours if a nice discount was offered. The staff was lovely and the touchdown was stellar but the extreme close quarters is what has me pondering another means of travel whenever possible.

$4 for headphones to use the multimedia system, games that are boring.....small oat bar as a snack....Porter has better snacks and entertainment

I appreciated the fact carry on picked up at the checkinn . Service and check in super nicer.

Crew was great. The crew that came on in Montreal helped us look for a lost passport and could not have been nicer. Our only problem was boarding in Barcelona but was due to airport issue. Not enough staff to get wheelchair passengers to gates.

nothing at all. no headset for 5hrs to watch the entertainment, no snack

I did not get meals as I was asleep and nothing later

Great service food was very good and overall experience was great !!

Good service time. Not enough help meant service was slow. For a Business class seat the seat is very crampled and uncomfortable Too narrow, and where the platform for your feet meets the seat when fully lay flat position they do bot meet comfortably. Yes I expect more for a $5,000 plus seat and service. This is the worst business class seat I have ever been in.

The longer flight on our leg back to the US was fine. Boarding was great, we had to stay on the runway for a bit after boarding… they kept it cool uncomfortable.

In my first flight with Air Canada we sat in the plane for 4:00pm to 6:30pm. Finally we were asked to get off the plane and we were told the flight was cancelled after 7:00pm There was o clear explanation of what was the problem. I was booked without my permission on a Delta Flight at 7:30pm that was leaving at 8:00pm and I still had to go get my luggage(my final destination was Rome with one stop in Toronto. The luggage claim for Canada was closed so had to return to finally get it on the luggage belt.. Of course I missed the Delta flight and all the next day flights were booked. I also lost what I paid for my stay in Rome because I did nt cancel in time. A complete nightmare.

The flight was delayed 7 hours and we were given 10 euros vouchers. This is ridiculous. The crew was not nice at all, they just did their job with serving food and drinks. Did not even apologize for the delay!!!!

Paid for exit row at the back of the plane. Window seat with lots of leg space. Food was inedible (as usual). Brought my own.

Missed flight. Requested assistance for my father and he did not receive it in Paris.

Business Class was very comfortable and the food and service was top notch.

The crew was very nice. The equipment on the 747 felt old.

As expected. Would have appreciated a 3-day headsup reminder as a reassurance that all is well.
