In May 2005 I flew Air Canada from Tokyo's Narita International Airport to Atlanta, Georgia, making a stop in Toronto. First, let me say that my flight was free due to mileage partner awards from United, which is part of the Star Alliance network to ...

Pros: bigger seats, decent movie viewing
Cons: not so great food (heck, it's an airline)

We don't fly often - heck we usually travel by car and only to see family. This year though, my husband booked us an Alaskan Cruise. So how did we end up in Canada? The cruise ship left from the dock in Vancouver, and the travel agent booked us...

Pros: Efficient service, an approximation of food available on a short flight
Cons: Very high fares, Lilliputian seating on Canadair regional jets

I recently flew to Ottawa from Washington (Dulles), D.C.. The only non-stop option was Air Canada, and I hadn't flown with them in some time, so my natural curiosity went into gear and I booked with them. On the whole, I was pleased with the ...

In May, 2008, I flew round trip between New York’s LaGuardia airport and Toronto’s Pearson Airport. Generally a major fan of JetBlue, and also having read a few negative reviews of Air Canada ahead of time, I did not have very high ...

Cons: atrocious inflight service, filthy washrooms, overhead lights and entertainment units not in working order

[Disclaimer: The following is a rant, pure and simple. It is not intended as a fair or even a fair-minded review of a notable airline. It is based on this reviewer’s experience with this airline on 6 round-trip domestic and 4 round-trip ...

Cons: Sometimes more expensive

It really feels like you've left the US already when the Air Canada flight attendants start their pre-flight routine in both English and French.... even when you're sitting on a plane in Austin, TX. Appropriate, it seemed, as we started on a...

Pros: Nice economy class seats, good leg space
Cons: Service (physical and human) needs improving, big time.

Frankfurt to Toronto, Economy Class I was transferring to Toronto via Frankfurt, so I had to check in at the Air Canada desk in Frankfurt Airport so I could get a boarding pass for the transfer. Recently, Air Canada has had many strikes and threats of ...

Cons: Primitive in-flight entertainment, non-standard headsets

Cons: high prices on domestic routes, most Asian routes are not non-stop from central/eastern Canada

Air Canada has had a poor reputation for as long as I can remember, and it's been getting somewhat worse progressively over the past few years, for a number of reasons. I've flown with them dozens of times, over a long period of time (from 1978 to...

Pros: NONE!!!
Cons: Just about everything!

This summer my family and I made the biggest mistake of the year: flying on Air Canada. This was absolutely the worst airplane trip I have ever taken. We decided to take Air Canada because of the low fares from San Francisco to London. The only catch...

Cons: Bland food

Last spring I flew Air Canada on leisure from Toronto Pearson (YYZ) to London Heathrow (LHR) and back to Toronto departing out of Paris Roissy-Charles De Gaulle (CDG) connecting through Montreal Trudeau. Many who are on vacation (including myself) tend ...

Pros: Clean, Safe, Bilingual.
Cons: Delayed, Delayed, Delayed... oops not flying tonight!

I used to fly AirCanada quite a bit.

I found that flying through Toronto with AirCanada was usually a nightmare. Never, not once was a flight on time. At least they put me in a hotel each time....this was usually after a 6-8 hour wait...
