Pros: "Flying portion was fine."
Cons: "Flight delayed for mechanical issues.... then upon landing trapped in cabin filled with exhaust then again trapped in a locked hallway."
Cons: "I always have preferred American Airlines but they seem to have constant problems with the aircraft these days. This causes delays and missed connections. This in turn causes no breakfast or lunch or dinner opportunities. I travel with snacks in my bag at all times now just in case so I won’t get sick for lack of nourishment or water! This last flight I missed my connection altogether and had to take a shuttle home, then catch a ride back to the airport to pick up my luggage and then get my car to drive home. It was 4 hours past my expected time home."
Cons: "Was not allowed to get on slightly early with a car seat and a 3 year old to get situated in the seats, though on every other flight we have been allowed to. There was a delay that caused us to miss our connecting flight."
Pros: "Seats very comfortable"
Cons: "No money for baggage registred"
Pros: "Everything was good!"
Pros: "Pilot did great job, superb smooth landing."
Cons: "The two male flight attendants could have been a bit more friendly."
Pros: "Gate check of carry-on luggage was nice. The connecting flight from DFW to FLL was on time and the boarding process was very smoothly executed by the gate agent. Well done!!"
Cons: "The flight out of RNO early in the morning was chaotic. One of the kiosks was down and the line to self-check was long and moved very slowly because there was only one agent behind the self-check baggage drop. She did well keeping up but there was a long line of unhappy customers due to the long wait. No snack was offered but I did get a glass of water. Not enough overhead storage for the carry-on bags because passengers get the luggage check tag but brought the carry-on onboard anyway."
Pros: "comfortable plane."
Cons: "Kay&k was awful. Never use them again."
Pros: "Prompt on time service."
Cons: "N/A"
Pros: "Flight was on time. Crew was very helpful"
Cons: "the staff were not knowledgeable on visa requirements at checkin in Reno. As a result my checkin took long at the counter. Small CRJ700 plane was cramped though fast."
Cons: "They changed my flight schedule that made me have to arrange my travel plan"
Pros: "British Airways got us on another flight to Dublin through Heathrow."
Cons: "Plane was late missed the connecting flight. Aer Lingus/American Airlines refused to help us find another flight to Dublin. I called Vagama customer service and the attended refused to help get an additional flight or confirm our returning flight would be held."
Cons: "The layover was too short we missed our connecting flight. How did Kayak even allow us to book such an itinerary. Staff with the airline was also rude! Never will I book with site ever again!Rude"
Pros: "Arrived early"
Cons: "American airlines lost my bag... Customer service in LAX is non-existent."
Pros: "Flying AA. Excellent flight"
Cons: "No wifi. Pay only"
Cons: "My daughter is in a wheelchair. She was a carry on (I e I carry her on board). The staff knew this but failed to notify the airport. Hence, we had to deplane without a jetway. I didn’t. The steep stairs made it unsafe. Had to wait a long time for a handcranked lift. No one really knew what they were doing and they wanted to put her in an adult wheelchair in spite of my identifying safety issues. My daughter was scared and upset. Epic failure on AA’s part. Communication breakdown on many levels. Shameful."
Pros: "Great Wifi! After reading bad reviews it was actually ok. Flew business on the A319 (single aisle plane) and it reminded me of qantas 737. I think for a short haul day flight I may just put up with economy instead for the price. Food is ok. I think with AA you have to pick your aircraft, it makes a difference what plane you fly as to what you get in business class. FA's were great. Overall I'd fly them again. Food was ok."
Cons: "They asked everyone to put the window shades down but I fly window seat because I like looking out! It was a day flight too! LAX T4 lounge is being refurbished so you need to go to T5 and make sure it's not the regional lounge!"
Cons: "Too many delays"
Pros: "the choice of movies was great. I two very well presented selections."
Cons: "Outside of one drink service we never saw or heard from the crew. Not one food item for purchase was ever offered. I am glad I ate in the terminal or it would have been bad for me."
Pros: "Crew did the best they could considering the situation."
Cons: "There were multiple delays, leaving half my flight with missed connections in Phoenix."
Cons: "The service had much to be desired. The stewardess who was serving our section was curt and rude. Whenever I would ask for a napkin (that she had forgotten to give with my drink, I might add) or any other questions, she would come off as annoyed and as if I was testing her patience, which I did not appreciate as I had been having a horrible experience with American Airlines as it was. Also, why do you not serve milk with your coffee? The flight only served half and half, and I cannot have cream in my coffee at all. So unless you want to clean up my diarrhea in your toilets, I suggest you start giving options. It's not like milk is a scarce delicacy in the US. How is it that other airlines offer both milk and cream, but I get told by your staff, rudely, that half and half "is milk" and that it's all you have? Unbelievable. I hate to be a b*** but honestly this isn't the first time that I got treated like this on AA. I always seem to have a horrible experience with this airline."
Pros: "not much"
Cons: "not much"
Cons: "delayed and missed connecting flight"
Pros: "Great attendants excellent customer service"
Cons: "Awful TSAs"
Pros: "."
Cons: "."
Cons: "Old plane and the movie app kept cutting out"
Pros: "They crew tried their hardest"
Cons: "There was no one at the gate to deplane us in Toronto. There for I missed my westjet connection home by 5 minutes. I was looking at the plane by the jet way unable to get on. AA staff would not pay for a hotel for being so late to Toronto because the wether was not thier fault, which I agree. But the lack of staffing was and a hotel should have been provided to me due to this. I will never fly America Airlines again due to my incoming flight to Toronto and the out bound to Philadelphia (cancelled on the way to Philly for no apparent reason)."
Pros: "Crew was extremely nice. I dont' like to fly and the take off was so rough, I spent the whole flight in the bathroom. The flight attendant gave me ginger ale and pretzels and let me sit in the back so i didn't have to go back and forth. The other flight attendant had aroma therapy that helped a lot but i was just too freaked out. Those two made the flight as nice as possible."
Cons: "Very rough take off but that is mother nature not the air line :) Took off almost an hour late. LAX scheduled too many flight to land at the same time, Had to wait on the runway in Reno."
Pros: "Clean, smooth flight, on time."
Cons: "Small plane claustrophobia, entertainment required your own debice"
Cons: "Missed my connecting flight to to 3 delays."
Pros: "Renovated planes, modern entertainment options that were free, charging by outlets."
Cons: "Overbooked flight, poor resource management, nickel & diming for snacks on a 5hr flight, lounge access (not Priority Pass, charge $60 for a single visit), no room for onboard luggage, safety video fluff"
Pros: "We left 55 minutes late. Person at counter was annoying. Kept grabbing the microphone, think he liked hearing himself talk. Wanted to valet all the carryons but there was room in the airplane for them."
Cons: "being late and uncomfortable seats."
Pros: "Flight was one time."
Cons: "It was a standard boarding. The standard ride. I have nothing to complain about"
Pros: "Flight research tools."
Cons: "After choosing seats through this website we were kicked out of all of them and was separated from my partner. Every single flight we took was late and we missed a connection due to a late take off. The low cost was not worth the extreme effort and connecting flights."
Pros: "The crew was attentive and boarding went smoothly. The seat had more room under the seat in front of me, my purse was not jammed in."
Cons: "I hate paying extra for almost every seat on the plane. It's a con job. Food selection was terrible. If I'm paying anyway, give me better choices. No monitors in plane at all. Entertainment needs to be viewed on a tablet or laptop of some sort."
Pros: "Boarding was easy & seamless"
Cons: "Had to lie about forgetting my phone charger in the waiting area to get off the plane & give my niece a hug who arrived early on a neighboring flight from NY to RNO as we switched off to take care of my dad who just had a triple bypass. If two people are past security - there should be NO ISSUE with them meeting - we have already been screened & a hug or anything else should not be a crime."
Cons: "I still have not received my luggage"
Pros: "Medical emergency response and support was excellent."
Cons: "No pre-boarding for infant. Straight legroom in 13D still had seat in front recline into my knees at 6'5". Extra legroom purchase did not provide any extra legroom. Need to know what seats provide extra legroom for 6'5" tall passengers."
Pros: "Everything!"
Cons: "Nothing!"
Cons: "The previous crew did not do some kind of check so leaving Reno was delayed which left almost no time to get to my connecting flight. No one seemed very happy at all."
Pros: "Politeness of the crew"
Cons: "Not very spacious and entertainment only offered at My own expense"
Cons: "Broken down seat cushion ."
Pros: "Quick flight (made up for lost time), good pilot, smooth landing."
Cons: "- Delayed by 30 minutes or so at take off - Too cold in the cabin, no more blankets to provide - Overhead compartments were full so people with a luggage where asked to get back to the front of the plane to check in their luggage. Very inefficient process as there were still people trying to board at the same time - No in-flight entertainment"
Pros: "Delays caused a little stress but all in all a good experience."
Cons: "Late arrival to DCA."
Pros: "Flight from Dallas to Boston was comfortable and pilot made up for lost time in previous flight"
Cons: "Flight leaving Reno was 40 minutes late due to a plane not coming in which is just a part of flying but after the plane arrived we had to wait an additional 20 minutes to board because the flight attendants got off the plane to do whatever in the airport and then the same ones came back 15-20 minutes later and got on the plane. I should not almost miss the flight so the staff can get off the plane to stretch their legs or get a coffee."
Pros: "My business class seat was comfortable"
Cons: "4hr boarding delay and no entertainment system whatsoever on a 6hr flight."
Cons: "Arriving early to Philadelphia"
Pros: "That we didn't crash"
Cons: "Our flight did not depart until 40 minutes after it was supposed too due to some staff confusion. Hardly got water."
Pros: "I will fly Air Canada again but will probably drive to Toronto to catch a plane, rather than take the connecting plane out of my own city.There's a Tim Horton's at the airport!"
Cons: "Flight from our small city was late leaving and we didn't find out about the delay until close to the take off time. The reason given to us was that there was too much air traffic in Toronto. Couldn't this have been planned better? Not the fault of Air Canada."
Cons: "Even though this flight was operated by CA and booked through Ethiopian, they would not honor my two checked bags. However, the guy behind me - also going to Ethiopia - they allowed two checked bags, no charge. I always feel like they aren't willing to budge or look up the rules or even just be nice about baggage. I'd rather not give any more $$ for baggage that i'm actually allowed."
Cons: "Over 1 hour waiting on phone and disconnected. Terrible. Check-in people didn't even say one single word of apology. they suggested call Air Canada."
Pros: "The crew was friendly, there was entertainment available via the display on the back of the seat."
Cons: "The touchscreen display wasn't working properly, making it difficult to control things like volume. I would have preferred a display with physical buttons that took a bit more time than the weirdly synced touch screen"
Cons: "When the flight was overbooked I did not get my flight because I checked in in person and not online. That is bullshit. They were nice to figure out the best alternative but I still lost hours to figure it out, leave and come back."
Cons: "They kept us in the airplane 3 hours before"
Pros: "The breakfast, one piece of poundcake, that was the only highlight, and one decent size bathroom."
Cons: "Boarding was unorganized, nobody knew what was going on, but the biggest disappointment is there were no movies there are no video screens on the entire plane so unless you bring your own device and have pre-downloaded Air Canada app there are no entertainment options at all! Who ever heard of a transatlantic flight that didn't have a movie? Make sure you download the app so you can at least watch the movies on your tiny screen."
Pros: "Everything went well. You made it easy"
Pros: "The boarding process was effortless. The plane was large, clean, and had new technology in each seat. I slept the majority of the flight and did not eat or drink anything. All in all it went smoothly."
Cons: "No complaints!"
Pros: "The flight attendant was well informed and quite helpful."
Pros: "Flight was on time, the crew was great and the free movies helped pass the time."
Pros: "Tat everyone was so friendly"
Cons: "Couldn't sleep"
Pros: "Comfortable seats. By airline standard the food was good - tasteful and enough. Staff were efficient and helpful but not overly friendly/happy"
Cons: "Nothing really that they could do anything about. Long journey and long layover in Toronto"
Pros: "Smooth flight"
Pros: "I was very kindly provided an upgrade and seat beside was empty, it was a great flight. thank you!"
Pros: "Other than lost luggage everything else was fine."
Cons: "They lost my bag and after 2 days I still didn't get it!"
Pros: "Food"
Cons: "Service"
Pros: "Lots of turbulence, but I know it is out of airlines control."
Cons: "Food was not that good"
Cons: "Long check in line Having to pay for each piece of luggage Flight delayed 3 hrs Having to buy food Old flight attendant who should be retired Air Canada resembles a LCC. I would avoid having to fly AirCanada within North America if I can with this awful service."
Pros: "Easy enough getting there and timely"
Cons: "The next flight and my 5 hour delay"
Pros: "Very comfortable flight and the crew was very concerned about safety."
Cons: "There was no refreshments offered. Not even drinks!!"
Cons: "Ac canceled at last minute. Claimed we got txt and email which we did not. Only an offer to upgrade. Connecting Asian flight went without us at very substantial expense which ac denies is there resp because it was weather. Terrible desk attitude, long lines no communication to permit alternative planning."
Pros: "-"
Cons: "We tried to get seats together on our connecting flight, but were told we had to wait until we got to Toronto. The flight was delayed with few updates from the airport staff."
Pros: "The Air Canada crew were great."
Cons: "we were ti depart 12:15am on 12/30/2015 from new delhi and we are still here!! the flight has been cancelled two days in a row. our rebooked itenary says we will leave at 5 am 1/1 /2016 . waiting for that to happen."
Cons: "It's my 3rd time flying with this airline, and all 3 flights were delayed without a decent reason."
Cons: "The flight from JFK to Toronto was delayed and we had to run to our connection to Tokyo."
Cons: "Fight delay miss connection without confirm"
Pros: "Amazing aircraft, awesome personal entertainment systems, excellent service, and safe and timely flights. The food wasn't amazing but airplane food rarely is. It was however abundant. Which helps with the 12 hour flight!"
Cons: "Bathrooms could have been kept considerably cleaner, Air Canada should learn how they can provide gluten-free meals for customers with Celiac disease."
Pros: "Seats and plane interior were just ok, nothing to harp about. The was really poor for a 14 hour flight. Also, small children throughout the plane instead of just in the front or back just did not allow for any shut eye."
Cons: "Angela, the counter check-in agent, is not the friendliest."
Pros: "The food was great"
Pros: "Great service, comfortable space, good entertainment selection"
Cons: "Breakfast options were not good."
Pros: "i like the selection of movies and TV shows"
Cons: "the episodes of TV shows are so sporadic, and the interface is annoying to navigate. Could all the episodes of one show be listed together, and in order?"
Pros: "Great company. Will use it again!"
Cons: "We were in the last row so last ones to get off obviously which it wouldn't have been a big deal, but connecting flight time was a concern"
Cons: "Departure was late causing one member of group to miss a connecting flight. However, upon arrival a new boarding pass for the next flight was already waiting."
Pros: "Entertainment was very good"
Cons: "Most of the meals were not available . So we could not buy it!. They lost money and we wer hungry at the end of the trip."
Cons: "12 hours later and I still don't know where is my luggage"
Pros: "There was plenty of room on this plane that made for a comfortable early morning flight. The crew was very accommodating."
Cons: "None"
Cons: "The entertainment TV shows were poor"
Pros: "Air Canada rocks! The charger for my phone and the entertainment is brilliant."
Cons: "The flight was 2.5hrs late"
Cons: "Air Canada cancelled our flight less than 24 hours prior to our trip. They rebooked us on flights that would have us overnighting on the lay over and missing 3 days of our vacation. Air Canada offered to let us cancel our reservation with no penalty and for a full refund. Of course then we had to book a last minute flight on another airline for a much larger cost. The problem now is none of the web sites for the refund issues work. There is no phone help. It is like a complete scam. We will NEVER book another flight on Air Canada."
Pros: "Great service"
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "The people, the easy going nature of them made the experience great. No stress."
Cons: "I am a big guy and so the seats were just not great. On top of that, the food doesn't give a lot to people who are trying to reduce carbs. Also pretzels and cookies as snacks... Help a brother out :)"
Pros: "Everyone was nice."
Cons: "No complaints"
Pros: "The entertainment system had a good range of movies. There was no food...but at least they passed some water around."
Cons: "Boarding seemed unfair to put the people in the back last."
Cons: "My reserved preferred aisle seat got switched to a middle seat without notification. To get an aisle seat at the gate, I had to move to a smaller (I'm 6'4") at the back of the plane. By the time the meal service got to me, several hours into the 5 hour flight, there was no food left except dry snacks. A very poor experience overall."
Pros: "This could have been a disaster with technical problems leading to a canceled flight. The ticket agent at the boarding desk did a great job of taking care of us! She saved the day for Air Canada."
Cons: "Technical problems with aircraft computer canceled the flight.. Food was ok to good for a Western Airline. I have gotten spoiled flying on Asian airlines were the food is always exceptional."
Cons: "there was no entertainment so you should add N/A option ."
Pros: "Crew worked hard under difficult circumstances but flight was not well equipped"
Cons: "First we boarded and then had to deviate and move to a different delayed flight. No head sets, tv did not work , seat was very uncomfortable."
Cons: "Roomier Seats more isle space and comfortable seating. Better head sets"
Pros: "The customer service wait is extremely long especially when u get hung up on and start all over . But one man was very helpful in changing to accommodate me next day"

Cons: "Comfortable"
Pros: "Everything was great and i hate flying"
Pros: "Cannot rate the food as I didn’t have any."
Cons: "Very turbulent flight"
Pros: "Comfy seats! So nice when you have a comfortable chair"
Cons: "Every flight delayed 2 hours plus"
Pros: "Greg care and service from those stationed on board."
Cons: "Very long walk from aircraft to immigration"
Cons: "Tight seating for transatlantic flight. More importantly avoid Toronto at all costs. Need to clear customs and go back through security again on a connecting flight. Takes forever. Food was not good at all."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Airplane went to the wrong airport and caused 3 hour delay . Missed my connecting flight."
Pros: "Amazing plane with great features! Incredible staff!"
Cons: "Bathrooms should be bigger"
Pros: "Crew were all friendly and trip went very smooth in the air. Havent flown for years so computer checkins were a bit overwhelming at first but staff again very helpful. thanks for a great experience Mildred Johnson"
Pros: "Nice and happy/friendly people working for the airline..will take this airline again"
Pros: "One flight, we sat next to ssomeone with a cat in her lap that threw up and pooped the whole time. The second flight a drunk man yelled the whole flight."
Cons: "No food. Horrible service"
Pros: "The courteous ticket agent at the counter in Reno-that's all."
Cons: "Getting stuck, having to change plans. SUCKS!"
Pros: "Flight was fine"
Cons: "I didn't get an email to check in (normally when I book with air canada I get an email as soon as I can check in - to check in) I like this - so I have a chance to change seat without additional cost otherwise I have to risk it when I get to the airport or I have to just accept the seat given (which is usually in the back of the plane - this time the last seat)."
Cons: "Flight was 1 1/2 hours late departing!"
Pros: "Flight was on time"
Cons: "Check in was terrible"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable ride. Now I know what dinners feel like. Recently flew Delta and didn't notice discomfort like this."
Pros: "Empty plane do had lots of space. Super comfortable."
Pros: "I was on time. I liked the view."
Cons: "I don't like when they leave me at the gate in my wheelchair. I don't like it even more when they take the wheelchair. I feel really uneasy when I am left at the gate. So I have the wheelchair pusher let someone know from the gate that I am there and will need assistance. Once again being sexually assaulted going through the metal detectors. Outside of being foreign most of the United employees seem like complete morons. Also there was that same bag in front of me. So my legroom was restricted."
Cons: "Crew in First was a joke. Not even offered water. What a terrible service."
Pros: "It got me to Boston!"
Cons: "Uncomfortable seats!"
Pros: "It got me to boston, the pilot etc did a great job"
Cons: "Uncomfortable seats, even in Economy plus"
Cons: "Our flights were all cancelled or delayed and they gave us nothing to apologize. We lost 2 whole days of vacation and the cost of our rooms. All of the customer service people were rude. One lady in particular was so rude I had to walk away from the desk. The movie on the plane skipped and was unwatchable. I hate this airline and would pay more to fly another one."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "The flight was delayed for almost 5 hours and then cancelled. This delayed my trip with family to Missouri and inconvenienced many people. On top of that, due to cancellation had to stay in hotel without my luggage and my pills that I have to take daily. Worst experience ever!! I need compensation for all this mess!!!!"
Pros: "Nothing because I had to reschedule the flight"
Cons: "This connection was delayed without adequate notice which caused me to get stuck in Chicago for a night and book all new flights for the next day. According to the information I received from the attendants at the gate, maintenance knew the airplane had issues but no communication until the flight began to get delayed was given. I had an adequate layover (3+ hours) so I didn't worry until it eroded away to the point where I could not make my connection."
Pros: "Overall, this was an OK flight; nothing to brag about."
Cons: "The flight attendant told me that I did not need to collect my bag in Toronto and that it would automatically be sent onward to Halifax. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. All United passengers arriving in Canada MUST manually gather their luggage at baggage claim in Toronto and clear customs manually. ONLY Air Canada has this automatic option. Even if the United flight has an Air Canada code share United passengers MUST clear customs manually. How hard is this for flight attendants to understand?"
Pros: "It was a quiet and smooth ride."
Pros: "Did everything you scheduled and nice crew."
Cons: "On the 3 hour and 18 minute trip to NY in the coach section the seats have hard plastic armrests and a paded armrest would make your airline the cats meow. Give the coach section a little comfort please."
Cons: "The flight was over one hour late in leaving and while I appreciate that is beyond the control of the flight crew, one steward was quite rude as we were quickly trying to board as she prioritized serving the first class cabin rather than get us all on the plane. At the very least she could have used commonly acceptable language such as "please, thank you and excuse me" but rather chose to use "wait". As some of us where desperate to make a tight connection in SF, focusing on getting people on board and the plane off the ground should have been the crew focus."
Cons: "i missed my flight because my flight left Toronto late"
Cons: "I had no indication that my flight was actually with united and not air canada. I almost missed my flight as a result. Was incredibly stressful."
Pros: "Very decent legroom onboard....flawless connections....pleasurable. Flight crew were responsive, friendly, and professional."
Pros: "Fast and easy yo use"
Cons: "None"
Pros: "Everything worked. Smooth process. But online check in didn't work well for us."
Cons: "Online check-in."
Pros: "Service"
Cons: "Seats are too narrow in economy. Check in staff were very slow and at the gate same process repeated. Very relaxed staff :-)"
Pros: "Very comfortable aircraft."
Cons: "Windows are all dirty. Please clean the windows so passengers can take pictures of the world they are flying over! Off-duty flight attendant spent nearly the whole flight in the galley flirting with the on-duty flight attendant."
Pros: "Peaceful"
Cons: "The crew workers attitude"
Cons: "Late take off and had to wait for ground crew when landed"
Pros: "excellent aircraft, business class was roomy and comfortable, equipment was clean and the flight attendants were attentive but not overbearing ... they let me rest when I wanted to rest ..."
Pros: "that the plane landed in one piece"
Cons: "it was late 1.5 hours it badly was overbooked hand luggage hysteria lack of aircon while on the ground overall attitude of crew"
Cons: "Baggage took 1 hour to come out"
Cons: "Code share between United and Air Canada, operated by Mesa. Many troubles finding the correct website. Confirmation number changed once. Terminal changed twice while we were at IAH. 1 hour late taking off, 45 minutes late landing. Missed connection in Toronto. Bags showed up in Toronto 2 hours after landing."
Cons: "Entertainment was announced, yet nothing came up when I connected with the United app."
