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.
Problem with operation of on board entertainment computer. Failed about 1 /2 hour into the flight. Rebooting failed to restore.
Putting carryone size suitcase into the overhead luggage storage on a the small CR900 plane was cumbersome and its assignment to a far far gate w/o the moveable ramps at YYZ arrivals really stunk.
This flight was a lot more comfortable with more room than the Air Canada Rouge!!! We will never go rouge again! A yes to this one!!! It was so nice to have inflight entertainment! Also the carts came around twice for drinks or a snack!! Great experience all around!
