This time, I traveled in the economy, and it was surprisingly better than the eco-premium (food, comfort, and crew were noticeably worse in premium!)
Lots of water brought around by staff which is very important to stay hydrated on a long flight. There provided swiss chocolate icecream! The attention to detail is obvious. They really want to make their passengers entertained and comfortable.
overall the flight was good and we were happy they waited for us. However, our luggage didn t make it and this caused us a lot of problems.
This was an upgrade to business class and really enjoyed the experience. Much better than my earlier flight and thank you.
It was a pleasant experience accept temperature in the plane It was extremely cold in the airplane that I was shivering I got sick because of the extreme cold temperature on my flight
Crew was wonderful, snacks were so good and quite a variety for free, food was mediocre, big selection of movies and they kept lavatories pretty clean throughout the flight
It was unclear that additional passport control was needed before boarding. The seats were cramped and uncomfortable even for small persons. The arm rests were unable to be lifted completely out of the way and the media controls cut-out made them uncomfortable to lean on. One audio channel was not working on one of our seats.
Flight was very full and we had to checkin our carry on. Stuff however promised us that our luggage will be the first one to come out and it did
Great food - movie selection was good. Plane was a few minutes late but got to destination on time.
The flight schedules are better than some airlines. Their website is terrible, it doesn’t store any information so every time you fly you have to re-enter the data. The flight was late taking off but we still got to our destination on time.
Great overall experience with TAP - would not hesitate to recommend for your next trip to or from Portugal
Correct meal and overall flight went well. 204€ for an extra luggage is simply exaggerated
The flight was delayed without any type of notice. After passing through the gate, people were lined up at the passages boarding bridge standing for about half hour with no clue when they can board after ‘boarding’. No explanation or indication of the new departure time. All you can do is standing up and waiting.
First, I was moved from my scheduled flight at 10:45 to 6:30. Bad form as I had a scheduled lesson in the morning that I couldn't get a refund for. Second, we were bused out to the plane and bused back to the terminal and sat and sat all with NO explanation until the end of the long wait. Third, once we boarded the plane, we again sat for at least an hour WITH NO EXPLANATORY ANNOUNCEMENT. Plane left and arrived 2 hours late. I missed a train connection adding hours to my trip home. Lastly, it's time the airport is upgraded or TAP gets priority for walk-on gates. As a 74 year old, carrying my carry on luggage up and down stairs between the terminal and the plane is a pain. Might be the last time I fly TAP.
Cancelled flight TP225 from LIS to MIA till next day
Not having a delay. Not sure what happened with the service animal biting the crew member.
Our flight from NY was on time. The leg room was torture.. for a long flight.. It was extremely uncomfortable.
An hour late. Plus literally everything was unavaiable for food and beverage service. Will never fly again. Ever.
Everything went very well. I would like to acknowledge the politeness and professionalism of the staff—they are superb. No complaints.
I bought a ticket from Brussels to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA via Montreal. When I went to the airport, I learned that I needed a Canadian visa. When I bought the ticket online, there was no warning saying "If you are not a US or Canadian citizen; You need a Canadian visa." I asked for my money back, but the staff at the airport said they couldn't help me. I said, "Make the ticket open, I'll fly later," and they said no. I looked for this information on Air Canada's website. They've hidden it so well that it's impossible to find it easily. I understand that Air Canada makes millions of dollars in unfair profits by selling tickets this way. Why don't they ask when purchasing? They don't ask; because they're making money. Every year, perhaps thousands of tickets are subject to this situation. I will use all my rights and complain everywhere. Maybe they won't give me my money back, but I would advise anyone buying ticket to be careful from now on.
On the way to Vancouver from Toronto I was in AC 111. What an amazing aircraft. I was in economy but there was plenty of leg room and it was comfortable and also the entertainment system was good. On the way back from Vancouver to Toronto I was in Ac 120. It was not as good as the one before but it was okay. The entertainment unit was small and the seats were pretty tight but not the worst I have been in. Over all both flights were good but ac 111 was far better than ac 120. But I had a good experience. No delays, bags came on time. In fact both the times it was on time departure and early arrival which I appreciate
Crew were friendly and efficient. Love the hot towel service!
Our checked in luggage was not put on same plane as us in the trip to Quebec and on our return 4 days later to Toronto. At Toronto airport we were told it was at the airport and it would be 10 mins. This was not true as the i-tag in my luggage showed initially it was still in Quebec. We were made to wait 1 1/2 hours to get our luggage which it seems evident to me came on a later flight. This was despite being at airport in Quebec 2 hours before flight was due to fly out so our luggage was there very early. We were both wheelchair assisted so the wait in Toronto was especially difficult . As well as luggage issues our flight from Quebec to Toronto was cancelled and a new flight sent in the evening. We had to check out of our hotel and sit in a cafe for 3 hours until we came to airport still two hours earlier than required. This was by far the worst service I have used throughout my trips around the world
Our Air Canada connecting flight to LAX was 45 minutes late which meant we could not make our flight from LAX to Aspen. Therefore we had to pay another $800 to get different flights so we would be home that day. So sick of late flights. Why have a schedule if you never abide by it?
Everything was good on our two flights with Air Canada. Departed on time and smooth in the air. The short transfer window from domestic to international, although a little tight considering the distance one has to navigate is doable but some people freaked out tried to push off the domestic saying they would miss the international flight. They as disappointed t get a frozen breakfast something warm would have been much nicer. Glad for the vegan meals we ordered but a cold breakfast was unpleasant.
Friendlier staff who are nice to the elderly who need assistance
Initially, my flight time was changed, which meant I couldn't make my layover. The email that indicated the change sent by Air canada was unclear and not detailed. When I called customer service, they eventually compensated for my overnight stay. Everything else was good. I appreciate that your booking agency sent me a reminder email, however the flight information was wrong, which made things more confused.
I used to enjoy the travelling experience, but no more. We pay more and get much less. No air travel for me on the near future.
They intentionally delayed the flight by half an hour to accommodate a few fools who didn’t show up in time to clear customs. I missed my connector, missed an important meeting, and was charged a rebooking fee. Never again
Ground crew at checkin in Hyderabad airport was terrible, they seem to be intent on being a pain to passengers. Folks made a huge fuss about size of backpack and made me rearrange contents to make it fit in the sizing slot. All for a flight that is 60-70% full.
Swiss air was a short flight to and from Frankfurt to Geneva. The crew was nice, and the service was fine. Would be nice if they had wifi available.
Plane was delayed about an hour but nice crew and service
The flight crew, the on-plane service, and the food were fine. The seats lacked cushioning and were uncomfortable compared to other planes from recent flights. The plane was initially delayed one hour and that expanded to 1.5 hours. When we boarded, there was insufficient room for our carry-on bags, which added more time to disembarking from the plane. It appeared the Air Canada staff or the Toronto Airport staff were less than competent to handle whatever the issue was that caused the delays, which was never communicated.
Boarding was haphazard after people with small children or walking difficulties
Due to flights being delayed, we missed our connecting flights and we were flown to a different airlines and we end up losing our luggage's.
The boarding process is not well organized at all. It need to be totally revised with an emphasis on order.
full flight, could use more room....leg room fine seats tight
Tiny, cramped seats with minimum leg room and hard armrests. Basic needs like a seat and luggage came with an additional charge. Budget airline amenities with premium airlune cost. I won't use this airline again.
Cancelled flight, that morning! But got us on an Air Canada flight!
Everything was fine except not posting the gate number until 14 minutes before boarding. In an airport the size of Heathrow, that was unacceptable.
They took good care of me on the plane and had it not been for handicap assistance I would definitely had missed my connecting flight . Not BA fault but The airport security instead . Two hours is way too long for security
The least comfortable business class seat I have encountered for a while - very very firm when reclined making sleeping difficult. Cost cutting is visible everywhere - no offer to refill drinks (the wines were not good - so no real issue there :) ) Just not worth what BA charge
the old seats really need to go. they are not comfortable and outdated by many years. I waited over 40 minutes for my bag, unacceptable!
Boarding is not controlled as groups called was not enforced
Very disappointed because we don’t get in advance the cancellation fly to Paris. By the way, we are still without luggage Bad experience
Flights were in time, everything was organized, food was really good!
The crew was so unfriendly. Our (the last) section of the plane only got drink service once during an over 9 hour flight. When it come to the main meal service we only got a vegetarian option and where told the chicken option gone. About 30 minutes later I went to the bathroom and lo and behold the whole crew were eating the chicken option.
A late notice on the departure board of a last minute gate change from A gates to C gates was particularly challenging for us. We are senior citizens who ambulate just fine, at our pace. This late notice caused all of us to run, or in our case, walk as quickly as we could from Gates A to the transit train then down an another long concourse. Anyone with mobility issues or needing a cane to walk would not have made it on their own and they wouldn’t have had enough time to coordinate wheelchairs. At first I thought this was just “how it goes” at airports, until I noticed a text I received on my trip-it app that notified me of this gate change- WELL ahead of the departure boards in the airport. Had I be paying attention to my app instead of the AIRPORT’S information system we would have been able to move on with ease and composed instead of ‘trotting quickly’ and agitated at the new gate.. I see this as a flaw in either the airport’s arrival/departure board system or in BA’s communication to the airport. Either way, there is a LOT of room for improvement.
The flight was cancelled on the day of departure (do not know if it was my connecting flight from Geneva on British Airways, or the flight from London to Boston, as no explanation was provided). I was rerouted through Paris on Air France, and then the flight from Paris to Boston on Air France was cancelled due to aircraft problems. Terrible travel experience so far. Current routing takes me to Detroit on Air France, then to Boston on Delta. May never see my checked luggage again. We will see.
