The flight left a bit late, but arrived close to time expected…With the flight being close to full the crew did well serving drinks to all in a very timely fashion. The flight was a pleasure…
They didn't have any gluten-free snacks, oddly, which I require...or any flavored soda water or decaf tea options, which seems to be standard.
My flight back my reservations were list because they said I didn't pay my pet fee when I had a receipt
They could have done a better job announcing the boarding groups and asked for more drinks (water) if needed.
Very confining seats side to side. Not wide enough for any comfort.
For coast to coast travel the A321 and even the NEO, even in first class will never be excellent. That would take a B787 or 777 to accomplish.
Service not nearly as good as Qatar airways flights used to be on service from PHL to DOH.
The one gate agent was very abrupt and rude. Not a good look for American for the day
Departure more than an hour later. Conexion/waiting time at the airport was more than 7 hours :(
I was unhappy with having the seat I chose changed at the last minute. I was moved to an aisle seat which did not recline and was next to the bathroom. The bathroom odors made the flight entirely unpleasant. Having carefully chosen my seat months before I was not pleased with my AA experience. In addition, they ran out of tea during flight service, really?
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.
