We arrived early and finally made it to our gate almost an hour after.
Was a pain having to leave the plane and reboard but glad the plane was fixed
Plane was was better than th YVR to ORD flight but was a fraction of the distance. Fly your better planes on longer distance flights.
Nothing wrong with the flight itself. But due to 2+ hrs waiting in immigration and the additional security checkup in O’hare, I nearly missed the flight.
Flight was great my baggage was on time everywhere but my bags had been handled ruff cause they got damaged.
They need to improve their boarding process. Group 1 and/or paying first class passengers shouldn't be in the middle of boarding process
late departure due to some unspecified issue with ventilating the cabin. They got it running but it was FREEZING for the whole flight. I asked for a blanket but they didn't provide one. They could not turn up the heat. it was quite miserable.
We were delayed because of ground crew, not because the plane wasn’t ready to go. The food was better than usual!
I still prefer Delta, but Delta doesn’t fly to State College PA.
Everything was fantastic. Modern plane. All the amenities! Although the paid snacks and meals are pure robbery. Like i understand airlines need to make money, but 11$ USD for an overnight oats with some nuts in it and barely any pieces of apple.... Highway robbery
The seats are soooooooo small in economy. I was offered no tea or coffee in the am. When I asked was told that it was too late. The plane was 2 hours late leaving.
Very good. Very efficient. Entertainment was not functioning both ways which was disappointing.
Lots of announcements that no wheeled carry on bags were allowed on the flight, yet the overhead bins were totally full and made it uncomfortable trying to get through and significantly held up departure. Why were they allowed on when they said that they weren't? Trash only came by soon after service and I wasn't ready to dispose of it. I had to first hold on to it and after flagging and attendant was told to stuff it in the seat back! I have never run into the need to walk outside in northern winter weather at an international airport and wasn't dressed to do so in the cold pouring rain! I'm not thinking that I'll be back unless I hear things have changed.
The Air Canada staff at the gate in Newark were fantastic and so very helpful!!!
I booked these flights for our group of 4 people several months in advance. On the departing flight, I checked in 24 hours before flight and was able to select the seats that we liked. On the return flight, I had no internet access until about 12 hours before flight, when I tried to check in, we were scattered all over the plane in middle seats which is absolutely ridiculous. I book all 4 ticket in 1 booking MONTHS in advance, the preassigned seats should be together, NOT scattered in 4 different rows in middle seats.
On the short flight it was fine . The flight was smooth and crew pleasant .
The fact that we have to check in our carryons when we met the requirements and there was plenty of spaces near we sat was ridiculous
From charlotte to Toronto was not good From Toronto to Dubai was very good
Republic was fine but Air Canada was terrible in the airport. They issues me a boarding pass that I placed in my wallet and then when I showed up at the airport they had taken the bar code away from the ticket because they changed the flight number even though the flight stayed the same time. This caused me to be unable to go through security and I had to go to Air Canada for help and they were horrible and almost caused me to miss my flight. Luckily I managed to get it figured out on my own phone, not the kiosks, or the agent I asked for help or the long line I was standing in!!
Unfortunately your planes need maintenance. I am surprised your bathroom in business class was not working in 8 hour flight. Coffee machine was broken. Seat adjustment panel was bad. I will stay away from Air Canada in future travel.
