Security interview by El Al staff at NYC was deeply unpleasant. Apart from that everything was good.
The entertainment was mostly Israeli movies and tv shows. Food was good though. Flight was incredibly full with very religious Orthodox Jews. Maybe they had a convention.
We got upgrade to premium It’s another way and feeling flying premium then economy…
Underpricer was a nightmare to deal with they would not help us and blamed the airline and the airline said underpricer just lies. So no we were not happy! The crew on the plane was wonderful.
Your crew was amazing! Friendly, and let my husband and I have a meal in back with them, because a boy got sick behind us and they took some time to clean him and our space up. Fantastic job we were both impressed.
The crew were incredible, especially with how unruly many of the travelers were. Loved the pots and hummus and the food in general. The leg room in economy was plentiful, which was a very pleasant surprise!
Check-in was quick and boarded plane on time. Seats were comfortable, large screen entertainment, slept almost entire flight. Staff was pleasant. What is great about ELAL is their safety, and ability to take a large carrey on trolley and no one cares about size or weight. No one is taken out of line because of excess hand luggage like they do on Wiz or RYANAIR.
My suitcase was severely damaged. I didn't realize the degree until after I exited the luggage area. I submitted an online form and was informed it might be a few weeks until someone got back to me. Ridiculous. I have to return to the USA with it?!
I liked it as a half empty flight, I didn't like to wait 5 hours to fly which wasn't my fault.
The food is horrible!! The staff not smiling and looks that they don’t want to work
The head rest is too big and cannot be placed differently/removed. Causes one head to tilt forward and increase back pain
Our flight to Rome, Italy was cancelled the day of and we were never informed. We only found out because I was trying to get into my husbands account and called to get his account number. Had to pay more for worse seating on another airline.
I wish there were outlets to charge my iPhone. The crew was great; we had a female pilot who was great with explaining what was happening and delays,
The staff was hospitable and professional. The seat had a bit of wear. The winner shade was stuck 1/4 open. I received the best of both worlds. The morning sun was able to come in and blind the screen i was trying to use while at the same time it was too low to look out and enjoy the view. Rather embarrassing for a 1st class ticket.
Another delayed flight. When the delays exceed the duration of the flight, it’s a problem.
The internet service I paid for didn’t work at all and the flight crew was not very friendly.
The planes are so dirty! Food crumbs and finger print smudges, Dust over the vents and carpet stains. It’s disgusting.
Overall it was good. The flight was bumpy at times, but the pilot made us aware every time. As a result, no snacks/drinks were made available. Seats were tight but that’s okay as I had a window seat.
Both of the first class flight attendants were rude, to everyone, not just us. The one in coach was more helpful to us than the ones in first class!
Oops. Please switch my comments between the two segments. DCA to EWR was fine. EWR to TLV was not.
One small cup of warm soda for a 4 hour flight. Disinterested, unfriendly flight attendants
Flight was canceled due to mechanical issues. After a considerable wait in the queue, Air Canada customer service was very helpful to get us on another flight. I am disappointed to report our rescheduled flight is for three days from now. Three days of extra expenses and inconvenience is unacceptable.
extremely cramped seating... absolutely no leg room and when person in front of me reclined... I was pinned in my seat... absolutely ridiculous
Take off and landing and also the crew were excellent, just we could not received one of our suitcases at Ottawa at the same time we got there, but the associate at Ottawa airport were very nice and helpful so we could receive it on 16th of September.
They served us 1.5 pieces of chicken nuggets with coleslaw..felt like a toddlers meal in business class. Why bother?
It's hard to separate the frustration and stress of delays, which may or may not have been due to AC, in my experience. My Nashville/Toronto flight was delayed due to baggage loading, to the point I missed my connection to Ottawa. I was automatically booked on another flight but it was the latest one of the day getting me into Ottawa the next day. Linda, Customer Service desk in Toronto, got me on an earlier flight AND made the calls to get my baggage on the same flight. (High marks for Linda and her efforts! ) I ended up in Ottawa about 2 hours late, but my carryon bag which I volunteered to gate check to make it easier for AC, got the retractable handle tore off. Sorry, but it was a mixed bag experience for me. Linda was definitely the highlight of the trip.
We were over 3 hours late leaving Nashville. I am a new traveller, so it was very stressful not knowing if I'd miss by connecting flight to Victoria.
In Nashville Airport air Canada employees very unprofessional and that leads to a last one of our luggage.Will NOT recommend to fly with air Canada from Nashville. Jerry
Both my planes were delayed. I missed my flight in Toronto and got into Montreal at 4:00 instead of 1:15.
Crew were great. No snacks available. No entertainment. Seats a bit crammed.
