The gate and flight crew were very responsive and professional. They went out of their way to make sure this senior had a good flight.
Liked they had tv screens on plane but no service for drinks and a snack when other airlines do
Great flight attendants, great luggage tracking, pretty good trans-pacific business class setup, food was modest. Only paid WiFi in business class unless you enter an Air Canada member number at the time of booking (e.g., no Star Alliance member number). Vegetarian food was tasty but had no protein. Overall, a good mainstream North American carrier flight experience. Acceptable if the price is right. Otherwise, I might choose an Asian carrier for elevated experience.
Cold processed snacks for $$$$ Screaming children of family of 5 out of hell, nowhere to hide, strapped into a chair forced to listen to 3+ hours, crew completely lost control….Check in is completely automated with staff looking at you like you always were supposed to know how to stick your luggage sticker. The airport has no usb or usb-c charger you are forced to buy a cube for $20-$30. Somewhat disappointing well it was the first and the last time
Amazing and light experience, boarding on time, crew is super nice, clean salon and special thanks for movies availability. Provided by United Airlines
We had an unfortunate incident in the Maple Lounge. After five hours between flights including a delay to our return flight to Brisbane. I had two glasses of wine over four hours and when I asked for a cocktail the serving person refused (Saturday 15th August, 2200 hours), she refused me. She claimed to have counted my drinks, and said that 'as a senior person (me)' I could have a medical incident on the flight if I had any more to drink. This was an extremely confrunting experience which I have never had before. Quite literally, I had two medium glasses of (quite average) wine between about 6 pm and 10 pm. I had poured one other, very early on our arrival, for my wife.
The plane was very cramped and no room to move. Other passengers brought suitcases that didn't fit in the overhead bins. This made boarding and departing extremely slow.
It would be nice to have access to the headphones since wifi wasn’t available. Passengers in front of me got them for free I was asked to pay for them. I heard stewardessa saying that headphones are complimentary since there is no wifi. When I requested headphones I had to pay. No room to sit. Bear given with the can but my drink was given in plastik cup. I will try not to fly with air Canada any more.
Boarded on time and arrived early. Overall quick flight. Snack and beverage offered.
All around an impressively bad experience. Canceled flights, delayed flights, unhelpful staff. An absolutely poor experience that I would think any company would be ashamed of. Canceled my original flight, rebooked on a flight that would miss the connection. Refused to book me on other available flights. Got into location late, location was under staffed. Couldn't find my bag for the overnight I was then forced to do. Would avoid at all costs flying again.
