The seats on this flight were almost roomy enough to be the basic amount needed for human existence. I think my favorite part of this flight was it landed at an A gate, which was the most palatial part of Sea-Tac I've ever seen - a massive improvement from the S gates.

The seats on this flight were almost roomy enough to be the basic amount needed for human existence.

Fight was delayed an hour due to operational issues ,then further delayed due to ground control for a total of about 1.30 hours. Salad was completely frozen and flatware was so cold you could barely handle it. Crew was friendly and professional and the flight was smooth. The aircraft was clean and well-serviced.

The flight attendants in First Class were mediocre at best. They did not take our tray away until we were about to land and only did so when I press the call button. The United person at the United Club was asked to get us our boarding pass since we missed the flight due in Chicago. She argued that we did not have seats on the flight given to us in Moline. Furthermore, she was adamant that we did not have a First Class ticket. After I spent much time with her trying to show we were correct, she reluctantly agreed. She was probably the most incompetent ticketing person I have ever met and I have traveled 3 million miles on United plus many additional miles with other carriers. United has definitely deteriorated in more than on way.

Short flight - no food understandable. Flight was delayed for over an hour. Overall, it was good.

We arrived early and finally made it to our gate almost an hour after.

Was a pain having to leave the plane and reboard but glad the plane was fixed

Plane was was better than th YVR to ORD flight but was a fraction of the distance. Fly your better planes on longer distance flights.

Nothing wrong with the flight itself. But due to 2+ hrs waiting in immigration and the additional security checkup in O’hare, I nearly missed the flight.

They need to improve their boarding process. Group 1 and/or paying first class passengers shouldn't be in the middle of boarding process

Only serving 2 small coffee in 7.5 hrs flight with very limited choice to order food.

Booked with Kayak… Economy Class it said. I had filtered for 1 checked bag. Get to boarding and it says I have Economy Light w/ no checked bags. $136 each way for baggage now. Do not use smartfares.com. Very misleading and a terrible start to this trip.

Overall good. I was surprised how easy it was to get from plain to plain in such a short time. Food choices were not so great and quite expensive. Entertainment was ok. Flights were smooth.

Our three ski bags did not arrive and are still not delivered, one full day later. With one ski bag not traceable at all. I would not fly Iceland Air again.

Horrible. The flight was delayed by over 3 hours but updates were barely provided. Boarding started 3 hours late then stopped because their system crashed. So now, passengers were standing for 15 minutes in the open waiting to get boarding passes scanned and get on a bus. Duty-free closed around 4-4:30. Only 1 food outlet was open and it was super slow and busy since it was serving passengers from multiple flights. So a number of passengers couldn't buy meals at the terminal. Since the flight was delayed by over 3 hours, we could have been offered snacks on-board. Nothing. The seats barely reclined. In-flight entertainment options were pitiful. Overall, a miserable experience. Never flying on Icelandair ever again. :(

Bad. Flights were late, by hours. No clear information was provided even until the delayed boarding time.

Again, lines for boarding are a problem in iceland. The flight itself was fine and very smooth. No complaints. We would definitely fly icelandair again.

Had a screaming child next to us. Not the airline’s fault but still annoying.

Highly disorganized company, poor customer service. Packed seats on a 737 for a trans-atlantic 9 hour flight. Greedy company policies, no meal or snack provided for 9 hour flight.

Icelandair flight was excellent. The checkin and security arrangements for Saga Premium passengers at Newark was very poor - our checkin opened much later than the normal and our security queue simply led us to the back of the normal queue. Someone was having a laugh surely!

Horrible I had a health emergency and couldn’t go Air Canada refused to allow me to reschedule

First, When I check in at Phx air Canada counter, I couldn’t make it myself, either at the check in counter, the lady told me that I need a Canada visa to take this plane, then I told her that I have a lots of friends go back to China and transfer in Canada, I’ve never heard they say they needed a visa to stay in the airport, also, I have US lawful green card, as I did research, I knew all U.S. green card holders don’t need a visa to go to Canada if stay a short time. And then they agent lady asked her workmates, spent over an hour then finally have the boarding passes for me. Secondly, my flight is from Phoenix to Hongkong, one stop at Vancouver, but I had to get my bag in Vancouver then re-check in again there. I asked them, they told me that because my layover time is too long (about 20 hours), so they can’t do bags check through. I understand this, just compared with other airlines I travel before, this isn’t a good experience to me.

Excellent crew, great food despite catering issues. We need more people like this.

Very good ! I would recommande it to my friend and family

Really poor travel experience. My first flight was cancelled, which cut my international trip short and threw off my schedule. I will not be flying Air Canada again if I can so help it. The crew and in-flight experience was pleasant and enjoyable but the consistent delays and cancellations are not worth it.

I was not even asked if I want some water. Joke. Steward gave me a biscuit cover in chocolate and did not even look at me.

Economy middle seat was so narrow that I could not sit back comfortably with passengers on either side of me. Over the 9-hour flight, with my body slightly twisted most of that time, my previously-healthy left knee became very painful, even though I got up to walk multiple times. The knee is still painful 3 weeks later. Otherwise, it was a nice flight, but I was crippled over my entire vacation.

Ok Did not like that the second leg of flight was moved earlier making it a rush to make

Overcharged by either United or Air Canada. Abuse of access to my credit/debit card.
