Flight was delayed but the real issue is how long we sat after boarding. Space very limited for an overnight flight and seatbacks didn’t recline so it was almost impossible to sleep.

Flight was delayed but the real issue is how long we sat after boarding. Space very limited for an overnight flight and seatbacks didn’t recline so it was almost impossible to sleep.

The staff made sure I was comfortable, moved me to a better seat with more leg room

Somehow, my booking was under my preferred name instead of my legal name so they almost didn’t let me board the plane at LAX. This problem should have been notified to me when I was still in Toronto.

When arriving over 2 hours early to check k in at Charlotte airport I was told I would have to check my carry on ? Apparently the flight was full and may not be room. I was not given a choice and the agent was quite unpleasant about it. I am a senior amd was not comfortable me having to worry about my bag being lost vut it didn’t seem to bother him. There were lots and lots of people of all ages in line when we boarded with carryons and most larger than mine .the rest of my journey was pleasant vut this was totally unacceptable.

The layover was 6 PLUS hours and we were only given a $15.00 voucher. We missed our first activity in Quebec due to the delay.

Miserable staff as it was a late/delayed flight and crew wasn’t in the best spirits. Completely understood as neither was most of the passengers. Still unacceptable l.

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.

It was a short flight, and no entertainment. That was not a problem for us, but there is no option for "not applicable". There was a bit of turbulence, so there was no food service.

the fact air Canada changed my flight from 850 PM to 815 AM with zero regard to the plans i made that last day, the cost i lost out on as things were non refundable amd shortening my first vacation in 7 years sickened me. when we purchase a service thats whats we expect. when we want to change the service we have to pay for that option but you do whatever you want . i called accessibility dept as i have a cpap and an implanted loop recorder first person said no problem just let security know you cant go thru scanners. then i got an email saying i had to fill out a fit to fly form . which again there was NO need to have that none. But that cost me money and time to have a doctor fill it out. then when i went to check in online i was declined i had to see a person at the airport instead. i couldnt get my boarding pass like everyone elseso here I was contacting air canada so I would have a easy travel experience and it ended up being a nightmare with more work for me, more cost and time. the flight itself was great the nightmare around it i will never subject myself to again. i tried to stick with supporting Canada but Air Canada was not worth supporting. very disappointed especially with a dept that is supposed to help disabled people not make an already challenging event not worth going thru at all.

Most courteous, helpful employees and all flights were on time.
