Advantages: They did not crash
Disadvantages: Did not care about safety of passengers

...the misfortune to fly with Air Canada upon leaving Australia, on my way to Hawaii. Misfortune might be too harsh a word but I will let you decide once you have heard about my 10 hour trip with them. [Check-in] We arrived at Sydney airport with plenty of time to check in, at least 3 hours. We departed from Melbourne on a Qantas flight at around 6 am, arriving at 7 am, thus 3 hours for a 10.30 am departure should have been more than sufficient. ... Read review

Advantages: Pleasant Cabin Crew, Star Alliance Member
Disadvantages: Unhelpful Ground Staff, Poor Ground Staff

...airlines! One major drawback with Air Canada is that because French is Canada's second language everything spoken over the tannoy is said 1st in english and repeated in french. Once airbourne dinner was served, the usual Chicken or Salmon followed by cake etc.. A complimentary bar was then served, followed by the normal in-flight movie however the movie screens that came down from the over head lockers were a bit awkward to see if seated in an odd ...

Advantages: Daytime flight from Toronto to London
Disadvantages: Everything else

...suffer all the other disadvantages. Air Canada offers a daytime flight from Toronto to London, leaving at 9.am. and landing at 9p.m. It's great because you don't lose a night's sleep, and can go straight to bed when you arrive, and be ready for anything the next day. I only ever fly Air Canada to take advantage of this. I really don't know where to start with the downside. Remember, this is coming from a Canadian, so take any comments I make in ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Lost luggage, uncomfortable, rude staff

...spend time to review it. Air Canada is definitely one airline I would never fly with again. Comfort Firstly, let us start with my departure to Toronto, from Edinburgh, connecting through Frankfurt. Once on my long-haul flight lasting over 8 hours, I sat down in my small economy class seat. Provided was a blanket, and magazines. How considerate. After watching rude flight crew dart up and down the aircraft, we were soon preparing for take-off. The ... Read review

Advantages: Very few
Disadvantages: Not full service

We choose to fly Air Canada (Aug 2007) from Toronto to LA as it was the national airline. Even though ticket prices were considerably higher than anticipated we choose Air Canada secure in the knowledge that the flight was an international flight and the service, seating etc was as high a standard as any national airline. We were horrified to discover that their ageing aircraft A319 was configured for sardines and way below international standards. ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant service, free wine on trans-atlantic
Disadvantages: Transfering of baggage is a task for them

...flown on 6 flights with Air Canada now, 4 being internal Toronto terminal 1 to Winnipeg flights and 2 being Trans-Atlantic between Heathrow terminal 3 and Toronto terminal 1. All these flights I have been on are fantastic in thier level of service and reliability of service in acording to the flights and checking themselves. The first thing I noticed (as i have a taste for wine on journeys) the trans-atlantic flights have free wine for standard ... Read review

Advantages: Very nice, friendly staff
Disadvantages: Flights through dreaded Toronto airport

I recently flew with Air Canada from Glasgow to Atlanta (via Toronto), and would summarise the good and bad points of Air Canada as follows. On the good side the staff are friendly, the seats comfortable and by the fact that we didn’t have any hassle on any flights say to me that they do their job really well. On the bad side as an international passenger flying Trans-Atlantic if you are going to fly with them then you’re likely to have to go ... Read review

Advantages: Reasonably priced fares + compassionate discounts

...Canada and we had flown Air Canada. He died last week and so my mum and I had to fly out to Canada for the funeral etc. We got the phonecall at about 5pm on sunday and so had to find a flight out to Toronto for the next day. British Airways quoted me a price of £2570 roughly EACH for a flexible return ticket. I called up Air Canada and their London office was closed, but it transferred me automatically to their HQ in Canada where I spoke to a ... Read review

Advantages: Friendly staff, good food, cheaper than U.S. Carriers
Disadvantages: some delays

...what airline do I use? Air Canada of course. Actually your more forced too. With the demise of Canadian Airlines, Canada 3000, Royal Airlines and with WestJet just starting to expand, Air Canada is almost your only choice when flying in Canada. But even so, Air Canada is truly a very good airline especially compared to others. Lets look into my flights. Domestic (From Calgary to Vancouver) One time I had to fly from Calgary to Vancouver on ... Read review

...I have flown on 3 Air Canada Flights and every time they were fantastic. The first time I was flying from London Heathrow to Halifax and the flight was very good indeed. it was the first time I had ever flown by myself and experienced no problems at all. we had to walk through executive 1st to get to economy and thought I had walked into a 5 star hotel. The seats were very spacious and there were excellent meals on the main part of the journey with ... Read review
