The Priority check in in Toronto rivalled the poorest I've experienced. The young woman at the desk (7:30 AM, YYZ) was unfriendly and abrupt, behaving as though we were interrupting her day. Her inch long fingernails said it all....I really don't belong here. Other than that, WestJet personnel provided a good travel experience, especially in flight. I must say that the repeated announcements about the cabin being full and how folks should gate check their bags became tedious. WestJet should just offer free checked luggage and charge for carry on suitcases. It would save a lot of time and the voices of the gate agents.

Wish there was an option to book a fellow traveler who is not necessarily paying on the same booking. Then the airline could consider placing us together. It was a long flight to be separated from travel buddy. The first meal, a luncheon I think was ok with warmish pasta and a tiny salad. The second meal, a midnight snack (hard to say because of the time change) was really awful pizza fold-ups, and no option for folks who cannot eat cheese.
It was a 35 minutes flight. Didn't expect much. You should add a 'not applicable' option to your survey.
They lost our luggage and didn’t return it until 15 days AFTER we got back.
Great Experience! Flight was ahead of schedule and very smooth! Wonderful flight
Airport monitors did not give the gate for our flight returning Detroit to Vancouver Juice served from glass storage containers are a far more healthy alternative for people. And would also minimize the need for recycling plastic or aluminum containers
Boarding, staff and flight great. A bit disappointed with no in flight online entertainment but I'll live. Landing was a bit of a jolt (more than usual) but hey everything else was smooth. LoL
All as expected. Flight on time and journey was uneventful
Horrible, flight on the way to Vegas was delayed significantly and then on my way back my second flight was cancelled
For some reason there was a change in the cockpit which delayed us by an hour
My flight was from Charleston, SC to Halifax, NS with one layover and the same on the return. My flight to Halifax was good! The employees at check-in were helpful and friendly. No issues there. My each leg of my flight to Halifax was pleasant. The air crews were excellent, professional and courteous. Arrival in Toronto was uneventful, and the gate agents were friendly and helpful. The same for my flight to Halifax. My return trip was not so pleasant. The flight from Halifax to Toronto was great, with everything I mentioned above: friendly check-in staff and gate agents and quick boarding. It is when I got to Toronto that things went off the rails. In short my flight to Charleston was cancelled about an hour before boarding due to weather in Charleston. I received a text stating I would be rebooked within the 1/2 hour, and I was... on a flight at 6:40 pm the next day, more than 24 hours out! I absolutely could not stay in Toronto that long as I had to be back in Savannah for work. I went to the Air Canada service desk and here is where it really came off the rails for me. Please understand that up to this point every Air Canada employee I had interaction with was wonderful. However my experience with your service desk left much to be desired. As I stood in line with about 30 other people one of the agents announced that for those of us whose flight was cancelled that we had been rebooked, and to please follow her so we could be "escorted out". I turned to someone in line and asked what that meant, "escorted out"? They had no idea. As someone who has limited international travel experience I had no idea what to expect. One of the passengers asked her about accommodations, and was told basically that the cancellation was due to weather and therefore not Air Canada's problem (paraphrasing, but that was the message). She then proceeded to herd a group of passengers to be "escorted out". No other explanation. I waited in line to talk with one of the agents, and happened to get the same agent who had just taken the group out. I told her I could not wait for another flight 24 hours away and asked if they could try and book me on an earlier flight. She handed me a card and said there was nothing they could do and to call the 800 number to try and get another booking. She was extremely short with me and acted as if it was a bother to answer my questions. She said that I needed to be "escorted out". I asked her what does that mean? She explained that the international side of the airport closed at 10:00 pm and that we could not stay in the terminal overnight. I then asked her where I was going to be escorted to, to which she answered "the curb". The curb... outside of the airport? Yes, the curb. That was all she said. I left the desk to call the 800 number to rebook my flight. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was pleasant and very helpful, and was able to get me a flight out at 7:55 am the next morning with a connection in Chicago. Absolutely wonderful experience there. I then proceeded to walk through the terminal to find my way out so that I could get a hotel for the night (another $225 I was not expecting to spend). I didn't realize that I could not exit the terminal without being "escorted out". I, and several other passengers, found our way at the far end of the terminal which was, apparently, closed to all except domestic Canadian travel. We were not aware of this. We were approached by a young lady with Air Canada and told that we had to turn around and we were not permitted in that section of the airport. She was abrupt and quite rude about it. Not a pleasant person. I made my way back to the service desk so that they could escort me out. About an hour after getting my flight taken care of I received another text that my morning flight had been delayed by 45 minutes. Not a huge deal as I was able to make my connection in Chicago, but it did put me on edge expecting another cancellation. My flight from Toronto to Chicago and then to Charleston was with United Airlines. The flight to Chicago was pleasant. I was fortunate enough to have a seat to myself. The flight from Chicago to Charleston was on a smaller plane, two seats each side, and the individual next to me was not a small individual. I had to press myself against the wall of the plane as I had zero space. Other than that the flight was fine and, again, the crew professional and courteous. I hate to complain because I know that airline employees, both on the ground and in the air, deal with some crazy things and many unpleasant passengers. I get it. I am in hospitality and I absolutely understand, and am appreciative of your associates and the jobs they have. It's not easy and, I imagine, quite stressful at times. Every Air Canada associate I interacted with was wonderful and do your airline credit, aside from those that I just mentioned above. It's not hard to answer a question, even if you're having a hard day. I also understand that things happen that are beyond the control of the airline. Weather, mechanical issues, passengers acting up... I totally understand. When it is all said and done Air Canada got me home safely, for which I am most grateful, and I am grateful for all of your associates who were professional and courteous during my journey.
The staff were on the last leg. But they were still very accommodating and polite. They were all very helpful with getting the bags up and getting people to their seats.
Flight from Lisbon to Toronto was smooth, and we arrived early! Flight from Toronto to Denver was delayed about 40 minutes. We didn’t hear about the delay until after we had boarded the plane. The delay could have been handled better.
Terrible experience! All flights delayed, staff had no idea of what they were doing, and at the end luggage lost for 2 days!
Was delayed, did not end up flying to Victoria. Was not offered alternative accomodation or travel. Very dissapointed. Had to pay out of pocket for taxi, ferry, food etc.
I think Air Canada is the only airline I've flown where they don't give you at least a free cookie.
I love flying with AC. I love that they have power outlet and free messaging wifi for aeroplan members.
Crew members were very polite and prompt in service. Cooling was very comfortable for a long journey but it's seats were stiff which are uncomfortable for a long travel
Treating guests with respect when they are having issues. Myself and another guest were expected to climb over someone who had a disability and was clearly not well. There was no assistance. Also when the lady beside me asked to see if there was a possibility to get off the plane as soon as they were able because her husband is having emergency surgery the flight attendant’s response was so rude and dismissive.
Reduced wait times for checked-in baggage at destination, Toronto Pierson airport
Boarding was a zoo. London ground crew was useless. Poor communication regarding where to line up. We were group 2, and everyone was jammed in together. Ground crew didn’t seem to care.
Horrible flight attendant in back of economy that screamed at me, have already reported to United. Horrible food - for Gluten free, why would you assume the person is vegetarian? I was served some kind of horrible curry bean paste and multiple cold rolls and soggy vegetables with no seasoning... um no!
I was at the airport on time , I checked in my luggage . The plane was delayed and the gate was change. The flight board did not give information . I did not get chance to fly. I am going to make a claim for it
Never flown with LH before so all in all wasba good experience. Also good to know that approx 24hrs prior the flight opens up for being able to organise the seating free.
This flight space was way better than our international flight. Efficient boarding and comfortable
It was a short flight, no real service (which is okay). Very bumpy because of weather.
I'm Canaadian. I hate Air Canada. I used to give them a pass on their international service. No longer, They suck across the board now! Old planes, exhausted staff bad food and shitty entertainment. Your seats need reupholstered! Start with that...
Good experience. Food was great and passengers helped rearrange seats so our family could be seated together
Great flight. Left on time, not very crowded. Quiet and the right temperature.
No eye patches , socks given out for overnight flight! The snack on the short haul was a cube of chocolate! The seat was uncomfortable for a long haul - not enough cushioning!
My worst flying experience so far. This flight was delayed a total of 42 hours and diverted to New York before it was finally cancelled. It was delayed 4 and a half hours in London. As we were scanning our boarding passes at the gate they advised that the flight was being diverted to JFK since the delays caused us to missed the open hours for Charlotte international customs and immigration. We were assured multiple times by airport personnel, flight attendants, and the Pilot that we would land at JFK go through customs and immigration and then reboard the plane to fly to Charlotte in the same night. When we landed in New York the pilot advised us as we were retrieving our carry on luggage that we were delayed till 10am the next morning and to see guest services to get a room for the night. During this time I had to purchase a room for a family member in Charlotte which drove over 4 and a half hours to pick us up from Charlotte. This could have been avoided if American Airlines had been up front about the delay. Then after standing in line for over 2 and a half hours at guest services we were taken by taxi to a hotel 30 minutes out of the way. Luckily I looked for other flights that night and found one at 8 am to get on. The initial flight which we were scheduled to fly to charlotte in was delayed 12 more times and was finally cancelled 42 hours after it was supposed to land. I am unaware of what happened to the guest that were supposed to fly on the flight after we were placed on another flight but 42 hours in delays for a direct flight is absolutely ridiculous.
Really quick check in and security at Heathrow Terminal 5. Staff on board were lovely and very friendly. Could have provided a few more drinks on the flight but they were available at the back of the plane.
Flight boarded and took off late for unknown reasons. Crew insisted we check our hand luggage due to full flight, which it was not even close to full. Then had to wait almost an hour a and a half for the hand luggage to come onto the luggage belt since it was loaded last. This came after many hours of traveling pregnant with my 6 year old daughter. Really didn’t appreciate the unnecessary delays. What the hell?
Left late. Crowded like cattle. Standing and waiting. Food on board getting worse.
Terrible- the flight time was delayed and then I was denied boarding because I arrived at the new time of departure
Flight delayed an hour due to plane maintenance issues after getting in line to board. Issue was plane galley ovens which eliminated hot meals for overseas flight. Cold selections were limited due to availability. Drink and meal service (already an hour delayed) was very slow. Upon arrival in Nashville, had to sit at gate for about 15 minutes before disembarking with no explanation. Local police then boarded plane as we were disembarking so maybe that was the issue.
Boarding good. Seats uncomfortable when lie flat. Food was awful. Tasted stale and chicken was dry. No live tv or flight map. Had to pay for internet.
Poor technical details on this plane. 1) There was no WiFi on an 8 hour long-haul flight. So no work could be done. That's below the standard expected for airlines these days. 2) The power outlet at my seat was busted and not working. 3) The headphone jack was loose and I had to keep adjusting my headphones to get good reception, or when it slipped out. - The flight was delayed to due mechanics. Sometimes this can't be avoided, I understand, and it's a big inconvenience to arrive that much later when traveling across time zones (then arriving at 4am from the prior time zone). - Also unique to this flight, the northern lights were visible on the right side of the aircraft, but I only found out after we landed (b/c again no wifi). I understand there are considerations about people being out of their seats to look, but I feel extremely disappointed and resentful that I wasn't told so that I could have a chance to look at this probably once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event from a view in the sky. - Flight crew was otherwise friendly and helpful.
Our flight was delayed by over 6 hours. We then had to deplane, stay overnight in a hotel then fly out the next day, 23 hours late.
I would have preferred something lighter for the second meal. Maybe a small sandwich .
The flight was delayed for 2 reasons. 1) Weather - due to which it incoming aircraft was diverted to Ahmdabad. 2) technical issue which took 5 hrs to solve at Ahmedabad. The flight which was to leave by 6pm left at 12:10am the next day. They could have handled the situation in a better way. They waited for Airbus engineer to come and solve. They didn’t simultaneously call for another aircraft so passengers could travel through their connecting flights as scheduled. It was a very poor way from Air India.
BAD experience. Entertainment system was not working and most of the passengers had this issue. Staff was not helpful. Meal was yuck. Bad old flights.
Communication was terrible. Flight was delayed for 4-5 hours in DC (on the front end, and also after we boarded, we had to get off - some issue with fueling the old plane correctly). There was little to no information on timing or what was happening. Once we reach Delhi airspace, apparently there was weather that caused us not to land - we were actually near the ground, saw the run way, and lifted back up to the sky after being sooo close. Then we circled for about 30 minutes, and they decided to go to Jaipur to land until the weather cleared and to refuel. Again, once we landed in Jaipur (wrong city), there was little to no information on timing or what was happening. Then we heard that the crew was reaching their 24 hours. We sat on the place, on the tarmac for another 3 HOURS, with no food and not enough water for everyone on the flight. Then, they kicked us off the plane with no plan, in the wrong city. We went thru customs, got our bags (thank goodness), and had to ask a bunch of staff what was happening and what to do. Eventually, their soltuion was to bus people back to Delhi (like 6 hours we were told) but not everyone would fit on the bus, and unknown timing on when it would leave. At this point it was 9PM (we were scheduled to arrive in Delhi at 11AM...). My husband and I decided to risk it and take a cab that we had to pay ourselves (about $200 US dollars) to get to Delhi (about 5 hour drive). We both had terrible trips back to the US as well - almost missed connecting flight, forced to pay for carry-on luggage (a small back pack!) and duty-free goods by the Air India staff last minute. Just terrible experience all around. Never again with AI! The ONLY good thing was the air hostesses were kind and patient - example: they made sure people with food allergies got their correct.
Air India needs to launch new planes. Seats are worn out, most of the plane's TV screens wasn't working, USB charging ports wasn't working as well so I can charge my phone & watch my download movies, Food was mediocre, the plane smells. How can Air India put through their customers with this bad experience? This complaint needs to get escalated to the upper management. How shameful is the upper management to improve this plane? The flight is going back & forth from NEW YORK & DELHI. Two of the big cities in the world and this is how your experience is for sitting in a plane for 12+ hrs? Get your planes fixed ASAP Air India (TATA Management do your job right).
Air India need a big change of in all departments.
Old aircraft, crew were so so. Meals were mediocre. Flight to delhi was delayed. Lounge needs update and was mediocre too.
The food on board the flight was atrocious - tasteless, spicy as hell, and simply a hodge podge of nonsensical items of poor quality.
The crew smile nicely when you board and exit, in between they are sullen and innattentive
The crew on the flight was great and the food was good. The flight was on time and in fact arrived earlier than scheduled. The boarding process however was not great. I had a business class ticket but I had to stand in line for about 20 minutes at the gate before I could board. The bottleneck is that at the gate they check the boarding pass and passport all over again and there is no separate lane for business class and there were only 1 agent. The aircraft is very old . The entertainment system is antiquated and the programming is sub par.
It was okay, the crew staff was very friendly and helpful to my family. They helped us to find a doctor in the flight as my son got seizure problems. They provided extra blankets, Pillows and water .
