Air Canada is great. First they send me a notification that my flight is 40 minutes delayed; then they send a notification that it's 2 hours delayed; and then finally they sent a notification ignore the previous two messages and the flight is on time. I wonder how many people are going to be late

~10 years ago I was doing a lot of flying for work, and "Mayday!" was one of the TV shows that Air Canada used to carry on its IFE. I loved watching that show, much to the consternation of my seatmates.

Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday is a pre-vacation watch tradition of mine that I missed before my last trip, but Air Canada had it on the plane and it’s honestly a pretty good flight watch!

I recently booked a plane+train return codeshare trip with Air Canada (YUL-MPX, than Trenitalia to Bologna). I'm so sure they try to scam you that I called them to be sure that they actually provide reprotection in case the train is delayed andbI miss the flight.

Got in last night at 1am due to flight delays (a risk you take flying Air Canada 🫠), woke up at 8:30am and watched Predator: Badlands which I adored in a very nerdy, “I love the girl robot and her mean sister” way. Not as good a movie as Prey but oh so fun for the geeky android fan (yours truly).

Thank you for this live concert link tonight! I was working the CFL game in Calgary today, and my flight couldn’t get me home in time, but the Air Canada wifi on the plane allowed me to watch your concert. Saw William Prince at Massey Hall earlier this year too, great to see. Thanks again. 🫡 🇨🇦

Omg what's with Air Canada. Last time I flew with them, they delayed me until the next day -- TWICE. On the aller and the retour. I got lucky and they put me in a hotel no fuss though. Good luck to your sister!!

Air Canada needs to be dealt with man. They delayed my flight by an hour and a half, which is whatever. But now I have a new connecting flight at 1130pm??? I'm gonna be stuck there for 4 hours

Woke up in the middle of the night to pee and found Air Canada had changed my flight to one with a 7 hour layover on our stop instead of offering us any other available flights with reasonable layovers. An hour later we are reaccomodated in awful seats but at least a normal flight.

I will say, personally, Air Canada has never not been good to me (cut my flight cost by 90% when I had to travel short notice when my Mom passed, for example) but I have some friends who have absolutely been through the wringer with them, and then some.

Good morning Gerry. Happy Saturday to you! Still in NL. Delay flight delay alerts started early, and they finally cancelled. The good news is while everyone was queued to arrange hotels, Air Canada sent me a notice they'd booked me into a luxury room. Don't know why, but I took it!

I will never fly Air Canada again. They lost my bag, told me to buy new clothes and are now going to charge me more to bring a second carryon bc my suitcase can't hold all the [expletive] they made me buy. Haven't even been on their planes yet bc they canceled my first flight and its worst than Spirit.

I flew for the first time in 15 years in 2024 with Air Canada and was disappointed in how much worse air travel had become. In 2025 I flew with West Jet and was amazed at how much better AC was. I’m glad they decided to keep their experience bad, not awful.

I visit Ottawa 5X a year and in winter I switch to Air Canada because Porter doesn’t fly it’s jets on that route in winter and Air Canada’s Dash 8s are a little more comfortable than Porter’s Dash 8s. And Air Canada just changed my seat for today’s flight home. Ok. Uh. Cool. Never had Porter do that

Breakfast time at the Irving Big Stop near Fredericton (“Blue Canoe”) then it’s time to start the long journey back to Fredericton. Air Canada already delayed our flight 1.25 hours to Toronto, but no worries , the flight from Toronto to Vancouver is delayed 2 hr.. good times

I got free beers for a full 7hr air canada flight a few years ago for saying thank you to the lady when she handed me my meal. Tried to give her my card and she told me ‘pays to be polite, right?’. I was absolutely twisted when we landed. It was excellent

Promise not to hold it against you that Montreal Airport/Air Canada lost my luggage. It has been found and is supposed to be located and on its way to the hotel in Quebec. Otherwise trip has been great so far.

Made it to the gate for my flight with one hour before we take off, already exhausted but we're getting there. Shoutout to the Air Canada bag girls who saw I was 3kgs over the limit and just said "it's cool" and didn't charge me extra or force me to re-do my bags. Already got good vibes here.

The seats on my flight to Japan changed from paid to complimentary! I don't know if it's Air Canada doing this to bounce back from the strike, but it's a good thing I checked the seat map again today. Now I don't have to worry about them shuffling me and my siblings around the plane.

When we have flown on Air Canada, flight attendants have taken the time - working for free - and been very caring in getting my spouse onto the plane, stowing her mobility aid, and ensuring that we are both comfortable. They need to be paid properly.

Day 6! Last day was a walk along the Regent Canal from Little Venice to Camden. We preferred this to Borough Market. More variety. Finished the trip with a stressful evening of finding a new flight home after Air Canada cancelled our flight bc of the flight attendant strike. Highly DO NOT recommend.

@aircanada.bsky.social, worst airline! They lost my suitcase, lied to me that it would be delivered to my hotel (it wasn't), then that it would be sent home (it wasn't), and now they are claiming that I should look for it on Lufthansa even though I bought my ticket from Air Canada!!!!

This is awesome of the gate agent. I went to Toronto last month to see Son and Daughter in Law, and unlike usually, I flew Air Canada rather than Porter (my preference but this was a special occasion). Had excellent service from everyone, great flights, & made sure to tell them all bravo.

NGL, one of the best flight deals I ever got was on Air Canada, Boston to Brussels, but we had to spend 10 hours in Montreal. So, we checked our bags, did customs, took transit to Vieux Montreal, had beers, poutine, and looked at a museum, then transit back to the airport. Not the worst.

Boarded the plane and realized I left my jacket in the lounge. Flight attendant just shrugged & shook her head. Huh. Not willing to accept defeat, I called the Air Canada priority line. They contacted the lounge, and a gate attendant went to get it and brought it to me on the plane. Good service!

Back in Aotearoa and I'm telling you, never fly Air Canada. They delayed our flight from 11:45pm to 2:25am to 8am to 11:30am. We were told to sleep on the floor in the airport but made us leave the secure area, they left 120 bags from 1 flight back in Vancouver. They didn't apologise or explain.
