We had a layover from YVR to Denver. We bought 4 bottles of Absolut Vodka at the YVR Duty Free for $116.20, after going through security and American Customs Pre Clearance at YVR, Vancouver. When we landed in Denver, United put us behind the American Customs as well as TSA again for some reason. We were forced to go through American Customs and TSA again. TSA confiscated our rightfully owned Duty Free Absolut Vodka bottles. Because United incorrectly forced our flight behind American border and TSA again, we missed the connecting flight. After United put us on a later flight, we eventually arrived in Chicago very late, with hardly any sleep. I am looking for compensation from United for our incorrectly confiscated Absolut Vodka bottles worth $116.20, as well as compensation for incorrectly putting us behind American Customs and TSA again, causing us to miss our connecting flight, making us arrive extremely late in Chicago.
Staff was rude. Didn’t give water for 2 hours. Worst service
the delay for 3 hours was understandable due to weather conditions but the flight should’ve provided some on flight compensations or at least provide more food.
United sent me a mileage plus number last year but that number is invalid so I can’t use it to check into flights or collect mileage. There is human to speak about the problem, only computers who keep asking me if I am using the correct email. It’s so frustrating and I cannot resolve it.
I would have liked an opportunity to move to a different seat ( even would have checked in my hand luggage)as I had health issues where I didn't have to clamber over the passenger next to me to for toilet use/ movement [ She was a highly unpleasant neighbor to sit next to]. In addition, I found that my European phone plan had run out of data and so I was not receiving emails from yourselves on airport wifi to be able to check in online and verifications difficult as did not accept the ticket number I had. I asked for an extra blanket but was told there was none. Then I saw other passengers receiving them. I couldn't eat the food and asked for snacks : Stewardess said " on the way" but they did not bring. The best bit was the check in process in Lisbon. Very efficient. However, I did not understand why we had to collect our bags at Washington then go through customs again. It was not explained. I also with my leg and health issue had approximately mile walk to the gate ( which then changed) . There appeared to be no moving walkways or help provided.
Why wasn't this flight departure scheduled eith another crew so that it could leave on time? When we arrived in Denver we had so little time between flights we had run to the connecting flight. We should received some credit for the inconvenience.
Efficient, calm when things were delayed and kept us regularly informed of what was happening.
Flight was late as pilot crew had to land at different airport in their previous flight. Passengers boarded and had to wait for pilots inside plane. Series of incomplete and unnecessary announcements by an annoying voice, rather than complete, informative announcements.
Breakfast was not loaded at SFO due to catering company change. Seems like a major airline at a major hub would have thought of something else or warned passengers to pick up food before boarding a 3 hour flight.
get E+, a must for 5 hours flight if you are tall
Great breakfast and coffee …..fastest bag service I have ever had in NOLA
They cancelled my return flight due to mechanical problems checked me on a flight a day late . Did not inform me kept sending me the old itinerary by email . I called and rebooked myself on an earlier flight still would not send me the right itinerary kept sending me the old itinerary The new airline charged me 150 $ for the first checked in luggage Aircanda was $75 . No effort to reconcile this or any apologies for anything . Sorry flight canceled… you are on your own Air Canada is worse than a budget airline Will never fly them again ..
Flight delayed by 90 min making for a 2 am check in at destination hotel.
Orderly boarding. The flight to Montreal was difficult to get to on time, but had help from staffer.
Service Director cut all cabin lights and window screens defaulted to dark, but it was an afternoon flight going west. I spent hours trying to see what was reading as reading lights weren't working either. What the hell.
Flight left on time. Crew was polite and helpful. Flight arrived early at destination. Had some trouble with in-flight entertainment system (not built in to seat-back) but found a work-around. Good experience.
We are extremely impressed with all aspects of flying with Air Canada.
Very nice. Cabin crew is very attentive and professional. So nice!
Air Canada business class used to be among the best among North American airlines, however it has gone downhill since the last time I flew with them. They didn't even offer any drinks prior to takeoff despite having over 30 minutes on the ground for boarding and de-icing. Once we got in the air the service was fine, however the food was lukewarm at best and just okay. The warm bread and spring mix salad was very good at least. My main complaint is they were letting economy guests use our washroom. Presumably because the Max 8 only has one in the rear. However as I was sitting in row 1 I constantly had passengers waiting in line for the toilet.
Breakfast sandwich option sold out by row 30 One flight attendant not very amicable (spoke to a few people about her)
Check-in guidance for transfer flight, boarding, in-flight service, seat comfort, etc.
Very rude person at the boarding desk; flight attendant coughing 3 inches from my face three times- not even covering her mouth; boarding process very unacceptable for older people with stairs to all planes (are you all stuck in the 1960’s?). I am sure that I am not remembering all of the negative things, but I am sure you get the message!
Flight was fine. Second meal ( fish sandwich on hard roll) was awful. My suitcase didn’t make the flight. It had been located, but won’t be delivered until tomorrow. Five days after flight
Boarding experience was awful. TAP claims I did not have check in luggage with tickets. I went 3-4 check in agents until I finally found a helpful kind agent who checked in my luggage with no fees. On top of that our flight was over 2 hours delayed with barely an apology or explanation.
The airport temperature at the airport and on the flight was too warm
Flight being delayed for 35 minutes had me lose the connection to my transport
Was the best airplane ✈️ ever that I never see I will traveling again again with u guys.
Flight from FNC to OBO was cancelled. We were rebooked to Lisbon later in the day. It was inconvenient but it worked out ok in the end.
Terrible flight attendant attitude. Average 3-star hotel employee has better hospitality skills. Business class seats are literally a joke. TAP executives should ride business class in other airlines to develop some rudimentary sense of what business class is.
Very pleasant flight, crew was very nice. The flight was really smooth, big plane. The seats are kind of close together, so comfort was just OK. The boarding process on the way back to New York was a little chaotic. It took a long time.There were no announcements, no loudspeaker just one staff yelling out of instructions and a lot of people crowding in before their term to board. So that could really be improved a lot.
My luggage is lost and nowhere to be found, no response from airline
Boarding was a shitshow. Had to bus to the gate. No separate bus and boarding process for Business Class.
The plane was very old, no power outlets. We also had to wait a long time to board. They kept moving us to different lines before we actually could step foot on the plane. We ended up being delayed an hour but we were never told or informed for any reason. After the meal I asked for a coffee which the flight attendant forgot and I had to ask again. Overall not the worst but not the best experience.
Need to pay for headsets, water, or any extra except air to breath.
Sitting space was very tight and I am not big or fat (I am 5'10" 178 Lb), so eating was very challenging. The rest was good.
Sitting space was very tight, so eating was difficult. But everything else was good.
12 hours flight. Only one meal, not enough food. At the galley only water during the flight. Lavatories not clean. Headsets at extra cost.
Need to pay for a cup of water. No food. Need to pay for headsets.
Everything should improve! Service like a low cost but prices like a premium airline. Crew in general with bad manners arguing for everything. You pay for priority access but then they use buses, so your loose your advantage to put your carry on first. That was the purpose for paying for priority. Bording is a nightmare, people accessing the plane for bothering doors, front and rear, no matter which line do you have.
Issues with plane led to multiple gate changes and chaos. Very little communication from the ground crew led to cranky passengers.
