I booked through Kayak but was charged in US dollars. Kayak should ensure that its site clearly indicates the currency. I missed the tiny US icon in the top right corner and paid another $60 for the return flight from Vancouver to Kelowna.
It got me from A to B in one piece and in good time. Back of seat tv didn't work. Snacks are a joke
The service was excellent from start to finish. However, it’s best not to order a gluten free meal because they combine it with dairy free, fat free, low sodium, and every other specialty diet variation that exists, and serve you boiled chicken and mashed potatoes for lunch. Yuk!
I liked the plane, a Boeing 787. Having to buy food on a domestic flight (although now common on other airlines too) is an irritant.
After several delays, the flight was canceled. I was “lucky” and able to get rebooked on a flight that left two hours later. The flight itself was fine although I didn’t like my meal. Flight delays and cancellations are far too common on Air Canada.
Window button was broken and display on seat is not functioning properly
The trip from booking to execution was great! The plane from YVR to YYC had LCD panels for entertainment which was great, but the return flight from YYC to YVR did not have them. Oh well--it was a short flight. Food was a pretty minor "token" snack, but hey--it was a short flight. It could have been skipped entirely and I would have rated the flight well.
Overall, the experience was good: both gate crews and air crew were friendly and efficient. The food - as always - leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of choice and quality, but I've had worse. I will say that the pilot's landing of the Airbus A321-200 in Vancouver was superb, i.e. no discernible "bump" when the aircraft touched down, just a "rumble" as the undercarriage started to roll. Beautiful!
Excellent and friendly service. Interesting snacks and free wine and beer are pluses.
