Airline reviews

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!

AC flight attendants aren't overly friendly. Otherwise flight was fine.

I’m handicapped and the staff and crew were so kind and helped me board and made sure I was fine during the flight.

The people are great! The trip to Japan is simply never ending!!! Not the problem of the airlines, though.

Friendlier staff who are nice to the elderly who need assistance

Everything went very smoothly and the staff was courteous and friendly. I was really happy and pleased with how well the plane was flown because the departure, descent and landing were really smooth with no sudden drops. The plane’s interior was clean and nice and new in appearance.
