Another good flight experience with Air Canada. The business section did not feature the full length sleeping arrangement, but this was a shorter trip. The food was excellent. But the flight crew was truly top tier: friendly, cheerful, helpful at all the right times. Air Canada truly outshines all U.S. carriers.
Wifi was great. Kind air crew and comfortable seating. Also liked the entertainment options.
I did not noticed baggage was separate - I had assumed international flights included luggage, so it surprised me I had to pay to check a bag.
Not to out myself as both a child at heart and kind of a terrible person, but the Pokémon safety video was the first time I watched an airplane safety video in like a decade. It was ADORABLE!! A great way to encourage attention from young and old alike.
In a nutshell, my bag, the one I have to pay for, because now you can’t even bring a carry on, did not make it. I am still waiting for an update. The fact that not only were have to pay for it, but on top of that we are stuck without getting it, it’s ridiculous..
I’m writing to share my deep frustration with a recent experience, which I feel reflects a troubling trend in the airline industry—one where customer care often takes a backseat to profit maximization. First, I do want to acknowledge a positive aspect: I appreciated that your team accommodated a seat change due to my medical needs without charging an additional fee. This gesture made a genuine difference during my trip, and I’m thankful for that. That said, the overall experience left me extremely disappointed. The ticket I purchased for myself and a companion turned out to be “basic”—a fare category I now understand to be non-refundable and non-transferable. Unfortunately, my travel companion was involved in a car accident and could not fly. Not only was I unable to receive any kind of reimbursement, but I also couldn't transfer the ticket to someone else, despite the flight being overbooked by three passengers. This inflexibility felt exploitative. To add to the frustration, I had to shoulder additional unexpected expenses: overpriced in-flight food and a costly baggage fee on my return trip. The entire process felt more like a profit-maximizing scheme than a customer service experience. I understand that airlines, like any business, need to remain financially viable. However, creating fare structures that penalize customers during emergencies, while simultaneously overbooking flights, comes across as deeply unfair. It’s hard to feel like a valued passenger in this environment. While I don’t expect much will come of this message, I do hope Air Canada takes this feedback seriously. There’s an opportunity to lead with integrity in an industry where choices for consumers are becoming more limited and experiences increasingly transactional.
Still haven’t made it home. Delayed twice, then cancelled. Will never fly Air Canada again. Horrible experience.
First time flying with Air Canada and very impressed! We will definitely book with them for future trips.
Very comfortable flight, despite being in the middle section, in the middle seat! Airline staff was very accommodating. Food was good and we just became aware of the meal options. When we flew from Toronto to Osaka, we were offered 2 meat dishes. We are pescatarian. The flight attendant went out of her way to bring us food we could eat. We look forward to flying with Air Canada in the future!
THE AIR CANADA CREW NEEDS TO MORE PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS. UPON TIME OF BOARDING, THERE WAS A SPECIFIC AIR CANADA STAFF WHO WAS EXTEMELY RUDE. WE WAITED ON THE SIDE TO WAIT TO BOARD. SHE AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS ON THE ARM TO SIT WHEN EVERYONE WAS STANDING BY TO BOARD. THEY WERE EXTREMELY UNORGANIZED. EVEN AFTER BOARDING, ONE OF THE STEWARDESS WAS TRYING TO CLOSE THE OVERHEAD LUGGAGE BINS AND I WAS SURPRISED WHEN SHE PUSHED THE PASSENGER'S LEG WITHOUT SAYING "EXCUSE ME". THE STAFF AT AIR CANADA TRULY NEEDS TO LEARN THEIR BOUNDARIES. REGARDING PHYSICAL CONTACT. SUCH BEHAVIOR IS INAPPROPRIATE. AIR CANADA HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE!!!
