Flight was great my baggage was on time everywhere but my bags had been handled ruff cause they got damaged.

8.0 ExcellentAnonymous, Nov 2024IAH - YYZ

Flight was great my baggage was on time everywhere but my bags had been handled ruff cause they got damaged.

Overall good flight. The pilots were excellent. It was a nice flight, but the seats were a little uncomfortable.

Booked a united Air flight with option to pick seat , then found out was on an Air Canada flight with assigned seat , then they wanted a several dollar charge for some 25 cent value entertainment listening ear device

Was realllly smooth. It was delayed but we were well informed.

The free snack options are pretty pitiful for a 2.40h flight.

Good even though flight was delayed, the crew was prompt and efficient.

Basics were there, but a 5:15 flight with almost no food ans no entertainment, it is quite long.

Flight departed owing to SFO TSA delays as well as incoming flight running late I know these delays are commonplace but when you’re flying long haul international the least that could be done is priority being given to customers in this situation I raced to the gate the plane was still there but NO UNITED AIRLINES STAFF in the surrounding area could seemingly provide effective support This coloured my view of flying with UA The actual flights were good

Onboarding process was great and efficient. Plane was very new and entertainment choices were great. The only complain is no meal despite it was a flight that is longer than 6 hours.

Flight was delayed due to weather and clogged toilet. Had to deplane. Flight was 3 hours delayed. Crew was awesome and offered water and snacks.

Dogs. Dogs. Dogs ! Who the hell thought letting dogs on board was a good idea ? Yapping dogs on both flights ! They ruin the experience for everyone else around because you try to accommodate everyone. Please send me a refund.

We booked Premiere (their version of first class) and Premium Economy seats. We boarded an old swoop flight with all coach seating. No benefit to paying higher fare and no apology or reimbursement.

The big lady was sitting right next to me and the button to recline my seat was blocked by her huge arm. No power outlet for chargers. No inflight Wi-Fi movies

Trip was uneventful which is good. Boarding took a long time due to many disabled/elderly requiring assistance which again is fine. Landing and take off were excellent. Food and entertainment were as expected, bring your own if you have preferences otherwise you get what you get.

Check in agent was good, stewardess was unfriendly and certainly did not have the care of the passengers in mind Spent the whole time on her phone

Wasn’t able to purchase wifi for entertainment so the flight was long

It was a swoop flight at a west jetfare… the plane was literally a swoop branded plane.. I pay extra to NOT fly the budget carriers like swoop and flair so needless to say I was annoyed when both my outgoing and return flight were on swoop planes.

Okay but not like typical first or business class. On domestic airlines

I liked the kindness of the check in counter crew, the flexibility with changing seats and the comfort. Better free drink selection would have been good but it wasn't a long flight.

Slow boarding process, tickets downgraded to Ultra Basic with no carry-on luggage, not enough space in overhead compartments

On the short flight it was fine . The flight was smooth and crew pleasant .

I was happy with the screen in front of me, that for a long time it was just black and not visually distracting. Then I discovered that I could just turn it off if I wanted to. Then I found some simple games and was happy to play those. I was happy with the service too. I do wish I understood the zones though. I wish there was a way for us to board and disembark more efficiently, or at least to board more efficiently, like having all the window seats fill first from the back to the front of the plane and then the other seats? But I do realize that there are perhaps already hundreds of more industry specialized experts & analysts who have been looking at efficiency for decades! I just take the stop & start boarding process with humour and I happily sit to await a simple departure after all those around me have been standing or bending for far too long. You must be used to it, but it still mystifies me why people hurry up and then just stand there.

Not very comfortable when stuck in a middle with passengers that encroach on your personal space.

The fact that we have to check in our carryons when we met the requirements and there was plenty of spaces near we sat was ridiculous

From charlotte to Toronto was not good From Toronto to Dubai was very good

We should get a light meal since it was an international flight over 5 hours. Ticket price is high. Why should I have to pay for a meal?

Both flights were comfortable and I felt safe. Smooth flying, no issues. The flight back to YYZ was delayed by about 90 minutes. The new Princess Juliana Airport is quite wonderful and I didn’t mind spending additional waiting time there. All is good.

It was good. My original flight was delayed and they put me on and earlier flight to avoid missing my connection

I enjoy the fact that Air Canada boarding personnel are enforcing the size allowance of carry on bags!! Keep up the good work!

Your survey should include a "Not Applicable" response for those elements that were not utilized, such as food (unless your want me to rate the cookie I received) and the entertainment (unless you want me to rate the emergency landing presentation). Boarding was late, the plane took-off almost an hour late, and the gate to board changed five times while I was waiting there. At 1:00 pm the plane had not yet approached the gate for passengers to load, yet the information board indicated that the take-off would be 12:30 pm and its status was "on time". Curious.
