Fine. Though no food or entertainment so the survey needs to be updated with those options.

Fine. Though no food or entertainment so the survey needs to be updated with those options.

Backpack should NOT allowed put in the flight bin , only put it under the seat. I can't find space put my carry on luggage!!! and I pay for it ! that was very bad experience

Standard flight experience, but there is only power at the seat to row 20 on the aircraft, on my initial check in it did not say that was the case

Boarding was terrible. My wife uses a wheel chair and she was in an incredibly hot closed metal cargo box for close to 20 minutes before getting on board

I feel like they have upgraded the app since I last flew United and I found it to be super helpful. I had stopped flying United unless absolutely necessary and my experience on this trip indicates they have been working hard to improve their services.

The ride was good but no food ot entertainment hence, it was just over an hour flight.

Boarding was unorganized. They expected passengers to ask people to move their assigned seat they paid for in order to sit together. The seats even in comfort are smaller than other airlines and the flight attendants appeared not to be well prepared

Aircraft has better leg room than any of United's larger planes. We had requested mobility assistance for this and related flights. United's response to all was superb.

No snacks served! Seating in the kast row in uncomfortable.

Flight was fine, it was delayed but only 30 minutes, staff were efficient, lady making announcements at LAX was really hard to understand but the rest were great.

very very tight seats unfriendly crew who do not seem to care about the comfort of their passengers and do not know how to smile poor ground staff support at LHR and PHX

I arrived to the airport 2 hours before my American Airlines flight was scheduled to take off. I have TSA pre-check. The airport was crazy packed when I arrived. After momentarily standing in the pre-check line, the TSA agent said that I am not pre-check. Of course I said that I am because I entered my KTN number on all my traveling sites and programs. I had to get out of line and go back to the AA counter to discover that American Airlines did not add my KTN to my boarding pass. I had to call TSA to find out my number, then have AA enter it onto my boarding pass. The emblem would not load onto my boarding pass. By this time, I decided to use my Clear in order to get through TSA but the line was ridiculous long. By the time I made through TSA, I missed my 11:08am flight and was re-booked for the 5:30pm. This is after the AA employee told me I should have gotten to the airport early. AA use to be a dependable airline not I use them only if I have too.

The only poor experience was the flight the day before was canceled. I have flown enough to change as soon as notified. That was a huge plus for AA. Obviously I paid out of pocket for a hotel. Not AA choice , it was mine. I had resources. Other friends on the same flight were more affected. I know everyone is doing their best and the ability to change my flight was a good move AA.😀

Because I can’t stand very long in one place, I was allowed to reword.

Poor on time performance. Flight was delayed due to a lightbulb. No updates from the pilot. Plane was dirty and hot, AC didn't work well.

Flight operated on tie. However, the in-flight entertainment was inoperative. No special recognition as an Executive Platinum member.

El equipo de asistencia en la llegada a USA, muy malo, abusivos no tienen educación, más los que lo reciben al pasajero a su llegada.

Flight was canceled and then rescheduled on another flight. Paid for first class but moved to the back of the plane. Then put up in the worst/dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. American Airlines should be ashamed of putting their passengers/customers in a place that filthy.

So i was checked in for the seat number 40K. Unfortunately my seat was not able to recline which end up having very uncomfortable 15 hours flight.

This plane is my favorite despite the very limited overhead space. Seats are comfortable!

A220 plane had 5 seats across which is great for couples who can snag the A&C seats. Seat itself is borderline comfortable but still tough on a 5+ hour flight. Overhead bins are small so if you're not in at least boarding group 5, you could be in trouble. No included food service. Non-alcoholic drinks are free but even the most basic snacks are for a charge. Price was reasonable for the only direct SEA-YUL flight. Boarding is efficient even managing passport checks. Worth flying for the direct flight.

The original flight from Boston to Toronto was canceled because of a mechanical failure. I was then scheduled on a flight to go from Boston to Montreal and then Montreal to Toronto. The flight was extremely full and I had to check my carry-on bag. When I actually got on the plane there appeared to be room for my bag. I understand the mechanical failures happen. But it was frustrating that they pestered me to check my bag when I don't believe it was necessary. Additionally, not just with Air Canada, modern airline seats are incredibly uncomfortable. There is considerable research that shows that the shape of them is poor for back health.

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.

Very poor. Flight was cancelled last minute to deploy the plane for another route

Prepaid for my seat selection over a month in advance only to be told when I arrive at the airport that the plane has changed and no pre-selected seats would be honored and refunds would not be issued immediately. Was forced to separate from my traveling companion Air Canada. Unsurprisingly was no assistance in this whatsoever. Plane. We got switched on to also has no entertainment options available

Nothing can please you when you leave with five hours delay and boarding the airplane twice.

Glad to see the staff of Air Canada take preference in protecting their customers from unruly passengers before they board. Well done

This website did not advise the prices were in $USD, when the flyer (me) was flying within Canada only and only a Canadian resident, and booking this flight in Canada. Furthermore, the area to board the plane was unusually hot and sweaty.

Flights on time. Friendly/pleasant ground and in-flight staff. Better snacks and films with captions,

Affordable & comfortable. Not sure why a party of two I booked at the same time got seated separately.
