Flight left early and arrived 30 MINUTES early at the destination. Smooth trip.

Flight was 3 hours delayed. They gave our plan to two other routes. Need to knock that off.

The flight was on time and the landing was very smooth. The crew and flight attendants were all very friendly and professional.

Plane was super cold. No entertainment unless you were with mileage program Getting off the plane was super slow

I appreciate that I finally got the seat I paid extra for this time. Thank you

Half of the TSA checkpoints at PHL are closed. Also, there is no standby for first class passengers. You can only standby for coach. Very dated policy and inconsistent with peers.

It would have been nice if American tried to care.

Delayed initially because they couldn’t print the flight details. Poor instruction on delay. When I got on the plane the flight attendant argued with me about whether my carry on would fit (it did, although she didn’t acknowledge that). No greeting (other than arguing with me) getting on or off the plane.

Beverage service was not good. Also just one service in 5 hr 30 min flight. No ask fir water ir anything beside one time beverage service.

They are always late and seats was also not having working charger

We travelled from London to Halifax. Customer service was excellent.fron the day we booked until arriving. The gate was only a short frombthe waiting area and walk Boarding was efficiently handled and plane took off on time. The service on the plane was very good. Fool an acceptable drandard Only downside was that the legroom was tight for anybody just over 6ft tall and am usually able to travel without difficulty. I will definitely fly with Air Canada again but next time pay for extr space.

The last 3 hours it was freezing cold in row 56. Multiple people had their winter coats on and were utilizing the blankets provided by the airline. I also did not have easy access to figure out how to book my food allergy and advance for my meals. Most of everything I received was something I couldn't eat. This needs to be made more accessible. Also, I'm 5'10 which is the average height of the American male. I flew from Philadelphia to Toronto and then to Tokyo and the seats were absolutely unbearable. For that long of a flight it is impossible to get comfortable when doing anything. Flights need to have more space and stop prioritizing costs over people.

Was delayed at every point/ connection. Luggages missing for 5days. Had no medications for diabetes and high B/p. when bags where finally delivered on the 30th, the insulin and ozempic were no longer patent, as the ice pack had since dissolved and the authenticity of the med is now questionable, since they must be refrigerated. Please have them refund my bag fees. I should sue them for all the inconveniences caused to me.

The airplane has been replaced and late night layover have been extended from 3 to 7 and the only compensation was a $15 food voucher after most restaurants have been closed, not helping with children after a 18+ hour international flight

everything was fine. but paying for 1 piece of check-in luggage and denying passengers to board with carry-on luggage which by air line's standards does not fit is not acceptable. when one travels for a longer time one needs to have some essentials

Was notified on a timely manner of any changes, if any, of the flight schedules.

My original flight was cancelled -- but I have to mention the excellent service I was given by the agent working at check-in who found me an earlier flight -- and helped me navigate security, ensured my baggage kept up with the quick check-in and boarding process -- and just generally made the re-booking process a breeze. Thank you! On flight was fine, but we unfortunately meant no in-flight service -- no water, or coffee (it was an early morning flight...), but the crew was pleasant and accommodating throughout.

No in flight entertainment on a 750 mile flight. Made you join their "program" to get it. It was free on my first leg of the flight from Cincinnati to Toronto. In addition, there was brief period of turbulence that prohibited the crew from serving refreshments. They used that short interruption as an excuse to never serve drinks at all. They had ample time to do so and chose not to. They went around serving half cups of water instead rather than have their carts in the aisle with drinks.

It was great other than the plane was really small

Plane was packed but flew on-time, and the comfort level was great! All planes are a bit cramped, but the in flight entertainment was superb, snacks were nice, and the crew was polite. Got into Calgary on schedule...all we could ask for
