Seats were extremely cramped even for economy. Food was atrocious. Crew was fine but no follow up, additional drinks offered etc. For a 14 hour flight I expected more.

Seats were extremely cramped even for economy. Food was atrocious. Crew was fine but no follow up, additional drinks offered etc. For a 14 hour flight I expected more.

Boarding was good. Inflight service was good. Alcoholic drinks could have been served free.

Plane and boarding was on time. It was easy to check in online and then just drop off bags. Will fly with then again.

One of the best 14 hour flights I've ever had. Crew was friendly throughout which can be difficult on longer flights. The crew being kind and respectful is very important for me. Plane felt clean and I was able to get some well needed uninterrupted sleep. I put them slightly above Cathay Pacific as far as cleanliness the only down side was a lack of entertainment selections, but hey I am an American taking a trip on a Japanese airline so I cannot complain. Thank you ANA and the Tokyo airport all very friendly. Will see you soon

My wife and I liked everything except the cold breakfast

This was the best airline I’ve ever taken. The staff are amazing. The food was great. The pilot was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this airline.

Crew went out of their way for me, not often

Chair was broken. Crew was awesome. Food was eh. Dinner food not so good the sandwich was good ( for airplane food) headphones hurt my ears. It’s hard because no one has plug in earphones

ANA crews are superb, very responsive and caring. Boarding was smooth and so as the landing. Great flights we had with ANA.

The crew was so accommodating. If I asked for extra snack they gave it to me. In economy the seats were wide and plenty of legroom. The backrest should have reclined a little more. Instead it barely moved. The footrest was helpful. Overall, my experience was good and I would recommend ANA as an alternative to other oversees low-cost airlines.

We were skipped when the snack cart passed and then the attendant said we weren’t . I am disabled and was in a row toward the back of the plane which was very difficult for me to navigate. Disabled people should not be forced to walk the plank.

Our flight was delayed multiple times and then canceled at almost 1 in the morning. We are a family of 7, traveling with 5 young children. When the flight we were supposed to fly on finally arrived after waiting all day after an international flight into JFK we were informed our flight was in need of a copilot and once they located one we would take off. Then our flight was cancelled because the copilot was over his hours and they couldn't locate another. They knew before taking off from the previous location that the copilot would be unable to fly. They could have communicated the cancellation of the flight hours in advance. Once they cancelled and the pilot and copilot got off the flight, they joked about it. While there are understandably limits on flight time for pilots, they can still handle the situation in a professional manner. The late cancellation resulted in angry passengers that required police intervention in the airport. It also occurred so late and included other delta flights that after trying 15 different hotels, we were unable to secure a hotel room, they were all booked. No rental cars were available in the area either. We ended up staying in the airport with the 5 children. We made it home after 54 hours of travel with maybe 2 hours of sleep. Our luggage was lost and had to be claimed at the airport at our final destination. This was the worst trip I have ever taken and the worst airport I have ever spent time in. I met two individuals in the airport that were kind and helpful; Tonya Maingot Williams from the can we hel desk that worked to help get us rebooked and home, as well as provide us with care bags for our extended stay in the airport. The other individual was Danielle from Buffalo Wild Wings that was so very kind when we found a place to take our family we were traveling with to eat, all 11 of us and we were able to sit down together to enjoy a meal during such a stressful time.

On time! There were plenty of airport employees who were able to keep us moving in the right direction. The crew on the plane were professional.

Was revoked with Jet Blue due to delay from Kenya Air

WiFi didn’t work most of the time. The usb chargers would work only occasionally for 5 mins and wouldn’t charge after that. Had to keep trying repeatedly at each of the seats in the row.

The crew bent over backwards to thank us for flying and make us comfortable. The food service was quick and efficient. The Captain communicated and said goodbye and thank you as we departed. They really stood out!

my mom urmila patel needed a wheelchair which was not available on the curbside. she needed to walk almost 50 meters inside (at the risk of falling) and then had to wait in line to get a wheelchair (this is not ok). Once obtained she had to seat in it for 30-45 minutes for someone to take her in thru the checkin process (which was fairly smooth and easy). the lady who helped her with her checkin process was very courteous and helpful

Excellent service, I love the soft blush pink mood lighting on the 767-400ER during meal service. The overhead gasper vents on the 767-400ER were also very strong with a lot of airflow to keep me comfortable on my flight.

This was the worse experience. They delayed our flight twice and we still had to find another flight to get home sooner which was alos delayed. Also, the flight attendant named Ginny on DL9890 leaving at 4:13pm on 3/23/26 was extremely rude.

I love Delta the flight attendants were personable and the flight arrived 1/2 earlier thanks expected. All a plus. The gate agent was a bit flustered but even with that I still had a good experience. Her supervisor assisted me.

Boarding , crew and meals were all amazing. Couldn't wish for a better LOOONG flight from Dallas to Sydney .

Boarding was effortless, the food was outstanding, the seats in Premium Economy were extremely comfortable, and the staff and crew were excellent.

PREMIUM ECONOMY - excellent !Brilliant new plane. Excellent tv catalogue. Good food. Good communication and service from all friend Australian crew. Good communication from captain. Best travel experience in years.

I couldn't hear all of the announcements. It was nice when they put them on the screen.

nothing to complain about w/the food, and professionalism of the crew. i just cant stand being on a flight for that long of a time.

We lucked out. The passenger who was supposed to be in our row changed her seat, so my husband and I had 3 seats for the 2 of us. We were able to stretch out a little which made the trip much more tolerable.

Enjoyed the flight with attentive flight staff. Thank you Qantas.

I thought the overall standard in Premium Economy was very good indeed.

After Qantas staff asked us we have the option to book our hotel and then email per written letter. I was denied my right for a $300 voucher after the flight was delayed 24h. Wael Idriss On Nov 22

Polite staff but incompetent staff. They changed my window seat to isle seat and then lied saying the seat was broken, yet I see someone else sitting there! They lost my luggage. Their standards have dropped a lot compared to pre-pandemic.

The boarding crew was very helpful with a little special problem I had. The inflight crew - so-so.

They kept us on the tarmac for 6 hours after already delaying our flight by 2 hours. No one had any answers. They sent our gate checked stroller to baggage claim instead of giving it back at the gate.

There was a big delay and I missed my connection flight

I don’t like the music section but I believe it was a cost decision. I changed my flight last minute due to work issues and had to sit way in the back. The seats were way closer together than I would have preferred.

Our particular exceptional experience was with Johnny at JFK at check in. He was the kindest, most accommodating agent I’ve ever encountered taking extra steps to help my husband and I with our extra baggage. I hope that he knows how much he positively affected our trip.

The flight attendant was very polite and attentive. The food was good.

Crew were professional and kind. The flight was smooth. But... The internet, which we paid 35 dollars for, did not work for most of the flight. This made providing media for our child an uncomfortable hassle.

Overall fine. Seemed like one of the older model planes? Crew was mostly very kind, though some of the female attendants were a rather abrupt during the food service.

Leave on time. We waited on the plane for hour hours and it was hot and smelly

The flight attendant on my side of business class seemed like a novice and did not provide good service. Otherwise the flight was good and the entertainment system was very good. No free WiFi.

I found the boarding easy and my seat was very comfortable as I had a lot of leg room. I am not too happy that I no longer have lounge access even though I used to get it with my TD credit card.

Terrible - flight was flagged for fraudulent payment from being booked via Kayak. Requested to rebook with original credit card or provide new payment. Air Canada stay at JFK did not know how to process new payment. Had to fly from La Guardia 2 1/2 hours later instead with Air Canada.

Could not switch flights. No help from check in Four people doing nothing. Two hour wait on telephone but no other flights available. Overall experience sucked.

My flight ✈️ was delayed by 12 hours causing a disruption to my day

The flight attendant when departing JFK was mean and rude to passengers boarding

Not great tremendous delays instead of arriving at 8:15 pm arrived at 2:30 am next day no food gate changes. Etc

In flight wifi that I paid for was very slow and at times didn't work at all.

On July 1, 2023, I reached out to Air Canada via telephone. After a two-hour hold time, A representative called me back and asked me to confirm my Aeroplan account info. I used the account number, provided on my ticket. The representative told me the information I provided was incorrect. The representative disconnected the call without further assistance. I called Air Canada via telephone a second time and received a callback at 11:06. I started the conversation with the representative by explaining that there was an issue with my Aeroplan account info and the last representative hung up on me. Apparently, my ticket was assigned the wrong Aeroplan number by your own negligence. The issue was resolved by updating my parties' tickets with the correct Aeroplan numbers. Now back to the primary issue, I raised concerns with the new representative about the flight delays and cancelations occurring within the week prior to our trip. The rep assured me if there was a flight delay or cancelation, I would receive an email and be able to change my flight online. I expressed my concern about flying into Toronto and missing my connecting flight due to flight delays. (There were no available seats on any flight to Tokoyo on July 2 or July 3rd from Toronto.) The representative assured me there would be alternative flights out of JFK, taking alternative routes. I received an email notifying me of a flight delay to Toronto at 12:39 a.m. I attempted to change flights using the link provided. When I attempted to click on "CHANGE MY FLIGHT", your online platform showed a pop-up window that stated I needed to reach out to an Air Canada representative. Unfortunately, your service was not open at 12:40 a.m. I arrived at JFK Airport prior to 7:00 a.m. and waited at the terminal counter. Around 7:10, a rep informed me they would hold the connecting plane in Toronto. They even made a phone call to provide me with assurance. I then requested wheelchair assistance to get my 75-year-old mother and begin checking in our baggage. We checked our bags and headed up to the gate. Around 8:45 a.m., several passenger names were called including my party, to inform us they were no longer holding the plane in Toronto. We were informed to go downstairs to make alternative travel bookings. I requested wheelchair services to bring us back to the terminal counters. At 9:15 my travel party was told at the terminal counter there were no flights for us until July 4th or July 5th. I informed the counter this was unacceptable considering, I attempted to change the flight both yesterday and at the terminal counter this morning. They continued looking for a flight to Japan. They worked out arrangements to get us on a flight to Seoul and then to Tokyo, but we had to take it quickly. I agreed. After I agreed to this flight, the terminal counter informed me I would have to go to a different terminal and would need to take the terminal shuttle train. No wheelchair assistance would be provided. I canceled the trip!

The flight was delayed. They assigned us a direct flight instead, We are very happy with the changes!

My flight was delayed, cancelled and delayed again. I lost one complete day in Japan, a very needed vacation. My schedule / itinerary in Japan is now all screwed up. It will take more time and cost to resolve this. So, am I happy with Air Canada; NO!
