Airline reviews

Due to a known technical error that Porter has not fixed in over a year, I was unable to check in the children on my reservation online and had to do it at the airport. Upon check in, there were no seats together, which was an issue as we had young children. The gate agent did manage to seat us together by moving other passengers, which was appreciated, but the other passengers were never informed, leading to confusion and delay upon boarding. The flight was over an hour late; no explanation or apology was ever issued. The bags on Porter take a long time to arrive--over half an hour at Hamilton on my inbound flight, and not much better on my return to Edmonton.

Much roomer than air Canada! Great flight for the price. No complaints

On my e-boarding pass it shows free wifi, yet the plane I was on didn’t have wifi. Please remove false advertising from your website and boarding passes

As a first time flyer with Porter I was happy with the service and comfort of the airline.

3.5 hr delay for a 1 hr work flight. No information as to why the delay until 20 mins before boarding.

Other than wifi no on board entertainment. Will use them again, roomier seats than other airlines and snacks and beverages, better than average

I like it, but the food isn't good. They need to offer more simple things. This bowls that have so many things your don't know what your are eating. The milenials like it, no the rest. And last but not least, they allowed somebody have a huge dog, vey agressive and fidgety in the flight. That's horrible. No animals should be allowed inside the airplane, what about allergies, etc

Smaller plane. Food and bar service for free is amazing. Drinks were in glass not plastic cups.

The flight was half empty yet they charged me $50 for a basic carry on! I saw how passengers of different colors were treated differently.

Poor landing as we overshot the runway and had to re land the plane. Lost both of my luggage not found as of yet. Had to pay extra money for my luggage in USD, now great my luggage is gone. Will not fly with Porter again.

Great flight, great landing, nice staff. Our seats were a little cramped.

Overall good experience. The wait for baggage at our destination was quite long, but other than that everything was good as expected

Do not fly on WestJet if you have a connection. It failed to integrate with my connecting Delta flight and I almost missed it.

The experience was good just the upcharge of over a hundred dollars was not cool.

There was a man who was very rude at boarding. On the other hand personal bag measuring box is too small compared to USA airlines,

The process and flight were both smooth and trouble free

everything was fine expect massive delays - not the airline’s fault

Seat back entertainment monitors would be nice. We did enjoy the In-Flight WiFi.

Friendly helpful crew but that did not make up for cramped, uncomfortable seating. Anyone over 5.5 feet and 150lbs is going to feel crammed into the tiny space they have allotted for seating unless you are a special rewards customer, then you get the properly human size seats. With the outrageous price of flying these days, even in economy, the very least they can do is provide you with a comfortable seating experience. Especially since if there is any kind of delay on the ground you're likely to be stuck there even longer than your scheduled flight time.

Our flight schedule was changed over six times, ultimately leaving us with a layover much shorter than we originally booked, which meant a panicked run through the airport. And the entertainment screen didn't function. As I've come to expect with Delta, a very mediocre and not customer-focused experience. This is on top of an outbound flight that was so delayed by mechanical issues, we had to spend the night at our layover city.

everything was fine. but paying for 1 piece of check-in luggage and denying passengers to board with carry-on luggage which by air line's standards does not fit is not acceptable. when one travels for a longer time one needs to have some essentials

Was notified on a timely manner of any changes, if any, of the flight schedules.

Flight was great. Meal was really good. Boarding was terrible. Too many people in a small boarding lounge, zones not clearly marked.

My original flight was cancelled -- but I have to mention the excellent service I was given by the agent working at check-in who found me an earlier flight -- and helped me navigate security, ensured my baggage kept up with the quick check-in and boarding process -- and just generally made the re-booking process a breeze. Thank you! On flight was fine, but we unfortunately meant no in-flight service -- no water, or coffee (it was an early morning flight...), but the crew was pleasant and accommodating throughout.

Crew was making faces when asked for extra water. They can really use a smile while giving services. Other Than that they were good. Lots of turbulence. Also while landing it was not smooth. The tire made a loud noise. They need to make those better. Other than that everything was good.

Board from the back of the plane to the front - it just makes sense. Try it.

No in flight entertainment on a 750 mile flight. Made you join their "program" to get it. It was free on my first leg of the flight from Cincinnati to Toronto. In addition, there was brief period of turbulence that prohibited the crew from serving refreshments. They used that short interruption as an excuse to never serve drinks at all. They had ample time to do so and chose not to. They went around serving half cups of water instead rather than have their carts in the aisle with drinks.

It was great other than the plane was really small

Air Canada decided to go on strike less then 24 hours before our travel and we had to cancel finding flights elsewhere.

Just the stress of possible cancellations on flights from Air Canada, but all went as planned and everything was perfect! Thank you

Their "free personal" requirement is to have your bag fit in a containment frame that is way too narrow and slender than the space under the actual plane seat (the length of my vitamin water was longer than the width of the containment frame. They had personel at the gate literally designated to hounding people's bags in the zone line up, and forcing them to measure their bag again if he felt "the bag might be too big for personal item". If your bag was too big for their scamming measurement criteria you had to fork up $110 CAD for the carry on cost ($85 at the 24hr online pre-check in). Plane had no entertainment, seats did not recline, and no complimentary snacks or drinks. Unless I have a short flight with zero bags, I won't be flying Flair ever again.

Flight attendant said bye bud. Lol peak flair right there

On time flight. Reasonably comfortable seats. Disliked having to pay for refreshment and snacks.

Very bead I am going to Vancouver to toronto. Not boarding receive. Before flight ✈️ time I have to take boarding. Boarding manager asking me pay $89 . Just flight ✈️ time before I pay .after provided the Boarding pass. Flair Airlines management not good. But kayak is best application.

Not good Even after I made my booking, I was charged $90 for my boarding pass. I have collected boarding pass i pay $90 near . Flair airline not good. Without pay no boarding pass.

The flight was smooth, but the seats are not comfortable. I was not able to sleep. The sizes for the personal item and carry-on are way smaller than other airlines.

Leg room was terrible and seats very narrow. Flight was also delayed.

The worst airline experience that I ever had in my life. The fare was cheap but boy do you pay for it when it comes to baggages, carry-ons, food on board and lack of available staff at check-in. Almost every other passenger on my flight had the same complaints and experience. We all bonded discussing our displeasure. My husband and I will definitely not be traveling with Flair Airlines. We'll take anyone else.

The most uncomfortable plane I ever fly on. The seats won't even recline a little. For a 5 hrs flight at night and tired it felt like torture

Seats in 1 res are dispersed all over the plane, even child was across
