Knowing my seat assignment would have helped me to better prepare
valerieFlew with Air CanadaORD-YULJan 2025
“Meal” usually means more than a light snack. I thought what they served was an appetizer not the total meal. So I’d eat before or bring food.
Verified travelerFlew with Porter AirlinesMDW-YTZSep 2024
Please start bags check-in at least 2.5 hour before flight and finish at 30 min before flight.

Ask questions to assure clarity. Don't assume you are receiving all of the information that you need.
Verified travelerFlew with Air CanadaORD-YOWNov 2024
Ottawa, as a small airport is easiest to navigate! Overhead baggage compartments seem to be smaller, and on every flight they seem to need travellers to volunteer to put carryons in checked luggage instead.
JohannesFlew with Air CanadaORD-YYZSep 2024
Avoid the red eye flight if you get older/retire.
MarcFlew with United AirlinesORD-YOWMar 2024
United's fleet of smaller aircraft on this route is very comfortable.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesORD-YOWJan 2024
I always expect issues with United but there doesn't seem to be another airline to use. Advice: Give yourself and extra day to get anywhere - don't be in a hurry to get home either.
