Air Canada Carry on Baggage Flight 1092 San Diego to Toronto 21 Sept ETA 7.29 PM

It's a pity that the flight attendant lacked basic courtesy and forced my carry-on luggage to check in by claiming that there was no room in the upper bins. I was one of the last passengers and had to check in my luggage along with two other passengers.

Did the flight attendant inspect how the luggage was stored inside the bins? Upper bins were used by passengers to store luggage, computers, and gift bags.

Instead of taking up the upper bin space, the gift packs and computer bags could have been stored under the seats.

Despite my explanation, she was adamant and unwilling to listen.

YYZ, as you know, lived up to his reputation, and the bag appeared on the belt after 90 minutes. This situation could have been avoided if the flight attendant had received proper training. Because of previous negative airport experiences, I decided to only bring carry-on luggage.

Thanks

Air Canada Checkin a bag with TD aeroplan

Air Canada flight 163 from Toronto on September 16, 2022 and wanted to check in a bag with TD Aeroplan Visa card. This card allows us to check in a bag for free and when i reached the line Air Canada representative will not allow to proceed. Keep insisting to go to the Air Canada check in machine to check. Still tried to explain the TD Areoplan visa and still made me go to the check in machine and checked my bag with her help and she promised it will not charge. So she was wrong and the credit card got charged $33.90.

Note: Air Canada customer service working in Toronto do not have any clue about the Aeoplan card members and the services available. They do not want to understand or help. Very rude not patient enough to listen.

Angelo M

Desired outcome: Suggestion: Have the CSR with knowledge in front line. Please train these front line the products and services what Air Canada and Aeroplan offers. Flagship carrier need to stand up for their services.

Air Canada Flight delayed

Dear Air Canada,

Our flight AC 886 was booked for July 08 at 6:10 pm, from YYZ Toronto to VIE Vienna. The actual time of departure was more than two hours of the scheduled time. We were told at the Toronto Airport that we will be on time for our connection flight to SKP Skopje. In fact, we missed the flight in Vienna, due to the late arrival from Toronto. After three hours waiting in a lane, from the airport in Vienna, we were offer the ONLY option to stay in Vienna (they give us a hotel, but no money for transportation and additional expenses), and to fight the next day to Belgrade, and instead of July 09, the time of arrival to Skopje was July 11 at 2:30 am. We travelled with two minor kids, we weren't ready to stay in Vienna, and spent Euros, if you are requiring, we have all the receipts. Reservation Code QXKIYO, Tickets number Kekenova Elena [protected], Kekenova Aleksandar0145220503509, Kekenov Boris [protected], Kekenova Stefanija [protected].

Desired outcome: We would appreciate full refund for our unexpected expenses in Venna, for spending more than 36 hours there. Because of rescheduling the flight, our four pieces of luggage weren't at the Airport in Skopje, at the time when we arrived.

Air Canada Physical Stress, Carelessness, Losses and Baggage

I am 69 years old lady with a walking problem and had a flight on 15th Sept 2022 (AC8819) which was scheduled for 4.20pm and was cancelled due to mechanical issues. We waited for 4 hrs and eventually told to leave.We were being told that there will be an email about the re scheduling flight which we never received.

Next morning (16th Sept 2022) when I went to the airport, it was a total nightmare for me. I reached at the Pearson International airport on time and straight away went to the Air Canada counter where I was being told that they didn't have the booking in their system. I even told them about how the flight was cancelled on the previous day but the agents were so rude to my son and told to go to the UNITED AIRLINES counter. We followed the instructions and went their, The United airline representative confirmed that the flight is confirmed from their end and the ticket was showing "READY TO TRAVEL". She even issued a confirmation and said that AIR CANADA has to issue the boarding pass. We went back to the AIR CANADA counter and showed them the printout from UNITED AIRLINES but the agent still insisted that there they cannot do anything and was very rude. They again re directed us to United airlines counter and told us that they cannot talk to the United AIrlines and we need to call the customer service (told us around 7.20 am).

It was so stressful as the flight was scheduled for 8.20 am and I had less than 1hr. I told them to call the supervisor and explained her the whole issue. The supervisor went to the United Airlines counter and took almost 20 minutes to rectify the issue( at that time it was 7.35am). It was eventually concluded that it was AIR CANADA's fault and AIR CANADA was the one which created lot of confusion and chaos.

Finally the boarding pass was issued and I was being told to wait for the wheel chair which almost took 15 minutes as the agents were just gossiping and kept me waiting (around 7.50am). I boarded the flight at 8.15 am just 5 minutes before the departure and in rush.

When I reached the Detroit airport, I waited for almost 1 hr but my luggage never showed up. I kept looking for AIR CANADA agents but the counter was empty and there was no body to guide me. My daughter finally called the airlines and waited for almost 1.5 hrs to get the tracking number (DTWAC22133).

I am a frequent AIR CANADA traveller and had a very bad experience due to their carelessness and rude miscommunication. Being a senior citizen, I was traumatized due to the stress while boarding . My son incurred losses due to parking, gas and day off from work. We wasted a lot of time due to AIR CANADA's fault and were shown a disrespect while at the counter.

I am attaching the pictures for the reference.

1) The first picture is the printout which was given by United Airlines as a confirmation of ticket which AIR CANADA was refusing.

2) The second picture is the HAND WRITTEN confirmation by supervisor when she went to the UNITED AIRLINES counter

3) The third picture is the parking fees which was paid + GAS separately

4) The fourth and 5th pictures are the boarding pass from two days.

My email is kaur.[protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: 1)Full refund of ticket.2) PARKING fees which was paid at the airport , GAS (for travelling twice) 3)TIME OFF which was taken by my son from his work.4)PARKING FEES my daughter paid in DETROIT

Air Canada Changing flight time

I booked my flight a month ago with Air Canada and yesterday, I just received an email saying that my flight will be changed to 1 day earlier. So I have to wait about 14 hours instead of 2 hours for transit in Hongkong as I booked before. I only have 2 choices: to cancel my flight or accept their flight and wait for 14 hours for the next flight. I wish I can cancel my flight and book a different flight with a different company but the fare now is too high compared to 1 month ago. This really gives me the worst experience ever with Air Canada. This will be the last time ever I book a flight with this company.

Desired outcome: Please refund me and offer a flight for me at the same price

Air Canada Unable to change or cancel my flight

I was booked on a flight for September 18th, 2022 going from Ottawa to Charlottetown. I am unable to travel due to family reasons and was hoping to at least change my flight to another day. I was on hold for two hours to only find out that I cant change or cancel my flight. I was told that I lost my money and there is nothing I can do about it.

My booking reference is 2EFUWX.

My husband and I always fly Air Canada for work and vacation. You will no longer have our business. I am so angry about this. I dont know about you but we dont have money to just throw away. We have always been able to change our flights in the past, or at least get a travel voucher. I will be making sure I tweet this out so no one else has to go through this.

If you wish to reach out to me you can reach me at [protected]@yahoo.ca.

Shame on you Air Canada

Debbie Trew

Desired outcome: I would at least expect to be able to change the day of my flight to meet up with my husband or get a flight credit.

Air Canada Hotel reimbursement

I booked 6 flights with air canada. The first flight was delayed due to baggage loading issues and awaiting an open gate. We missed oir next flight to germany. After several hours in line, we were told there were no more overseas flights until the next day, after several more hours in lines, we were booked on a flight the next night. They said they would out us up overnight. We had to find a room. We found one , the agent told us to get the room, pay for it, then get a receipt. He gave us a card with instructions on filing for a reimbursement. I did all that. When i arrived home, i filed the form and after two months was told that air canada was not at fault, so would not pay. The airline gave vouchers for the taxi rides and 20 dollars for the two if us to eat. They also gave another passenger, william, a voucher for a hotel room. Why do you pay for his room, but not mine. I emailed all this information to the agent who denied my claim. I asked him to review my claim with a supervisor. He will not even respond to my emails. What is going on with air canada. I have travelled with you before. Will someone talk to me please.

Desired outcome: Pay the 300 dollars that your agent at the airport said you were going to pay.

Air Canada Gate service - screaming attendant - ac206 - september 14, 2022

At 9:05 am on November 14 I was preparing to board AC 206 for Calgary from Vancouver.

My group and I had waited for the boarding of zone 4 to be announced and when it was called we proceeded forward.

Facing the entry I proceeded to the gate attendant on the far right. I had my drivers license and boarding pass in my hand for her, and I lowered my mask for identification.

But she became very agitated and when I asked her to repeat, she said "only zone 3 now". Then she said "can't you read numbers?"

I showed her zone 4 on my pass, and said the call was made for zone 4. The attendant on the middle station also called over and said they were boarding zone 4 now.

The attendant I was dealing with seemed to lose it at this, and began screaming at me. Not speaking in a raised voice, but screaming. I showed her my pass and id again, but she continued to abuse me. I asked her to be polite, but this did not help.

Perhaps she was having a bad morning. Perhaps she had bad family news. Perhaps she was not sober. Perhaps she just doesn't like Caucasians. Whatever her triggers, your gate staff should be trained to remain polite at all times and keep their personal problems at home.

This was the worst behaviour from airline staff I have seen worldwide in 40 years of flying.

(As a note, all of your other staff on this 3 flight trip, in the cabin and at the gates, were very pleasant and well trained. Just this one gate attendant in Vancouver was a problem).

Peter Green. AC206 Seat 20B September 14, 2022

Desired outcome: Attendant to be counselled, a letter placed in her file, and she should be removed from contact with the public until she can show evidence that she is willing to comply with standards of service. More serious if multiple cases exist.

Air Canada Cancelled flight

On sunday sept 4 my flight ac 8237 was cancelled toronto to sudbury 1 hour before departing. We were to depart at 16:50, we were told we were on our own as it was out of air canada's control... No reason stated... Air canada representative gave us a new boarding pass and said see you tomorrow...

I used my phone to book a hotel as I was not familiar with toronto. Spent the evening alone... Left the hotel at 6;00 next morning to catch my rescheduled flight. Arrived in sudbury sept 5 at 10:00 a.M.

Air canada has denied my reimbursement claim for hotel and dinner. They informed me my flight cancellation was out of their control... It is an automated response... The first text I received said due to weather, the second text said due to aircraft availability

Desired outcome: I would to be reimbursed for hotel and dinner expenses and compensation for arriving at my destination 12 hours later.

Air Canada Cannot book online as my credit card details (VISA BankSA) are not accepted - Air Canada will not process my payment

I have tried for 2 days now to book a flight from Brisbane to Vancourver or Brisbane to Portland. I go through the entire process every time and enter my Visa details to pay. I get the message: "unable to process payment". There is definitely nothing wrong with my credit card and there is enough money in it to pay. I paid with the very same credit card when I went to Spain in August 2022 for 3 weeks with no incident. After countless hours of frustration, I eventually phoned your international help line for support. The lady listened to me for about 2 minutes and said she was unable to help me. She just put down the phone. I am not sure who to get help from now. Air Canada simply will not assist me. Looks like I am going to have to book with an alternative airline. This is disappointing as Air Canada was the fastest and cheapest option for my husband and I.

Desired outcome: Would still like to book extra legroom seats for Dr Ian McMillan and Mrs Karene McMillan on a return flight to Portland 5th and 30th August 2023

Air Canada Lost Luggage as of August 31st, 2022

Checked in my luggage for flight AC1842 from Toronto Canada Pearson International Airport to Bridgetown Barbados on 31 August, 2022 @ 8:15 a.m.

Upon landing, my luggage was not available for retrieval baggage ticket #[protected]. Though, my father's luggage that was checked in exactly the same time and day did arrive safely - #[protected]

A delayed baggage tracking file reference # was given at the Grantly Adams International Airport in Bridgetown Barbados after almost 3 hrs post landing at 1:45 p.m.

To date, as of today, 9/9/22, local Air Canada associates have demonstrated zero compassion, no initiatives to assist above & beyond, no offering of a voucher for necessities, or updates with where my luggage is as of the last 9 business days.

All of my clothing, toiletries, shoes, swim wear, health supplements, with other essentials are in my lost luggage! To add further to this unpleasant experience, Air Canada destroyed my other luggage that I was forced to check in - pictures of this damaged luggage has already been submitted.

I've only today been offered CAS5030008R2F8Z5 that allegedly was issued on September 4th, 2022 accordingly to the agent I spoke to today Friday 9/9/2022. This has been a horrific & traumatic experience with no opportunity to enjoy my vacation.

Desired outcome: Luggage returned or $1,500 reimbursement to replace items in luggage misplaced. A full refund of airfare spent for a vacation that did not occur along with the inconvenience & embarrassment of luggage destroyed with contents lost.

Air Canada Lost luggage for 5 days while on vacation!

On Wednesday August 31st, 2022, what began as a nostalgic trip with my 80 yrs young father turned into a disaster on Air Canada flight 1842 when I was forced to check in my "carry on" luggage which caused me to be separated from my father who required wheelchair assistance while in the airport. I was charged $50 CAD since it was a 2nd piece of luggage and it was totally destroyed upon arrival to Barbados with the contents of my suitcase scattered in a plastic see through bag with items missing; noticed once at our destination - how embarrassing an experience. Kindly take note of the continued horrific experiences and opportunities for improvement:

*As of today 9/5/22, my 1st check in luggage has not been found, with no "trace" of where it is (a sign of a poor system because Delta ALWAYS knows where the customers bags are located due to the luggage tracking system"

*At no time as Air Canada taken time to with genuine concern check in about my well-being or offered any compensation for me to purchase clothes, necessities, shoes, toiletries, make up, sleepwear, etc

*The delayed luggage department had the audacity to ONLY offer me $60 of the $80 in luggage fees, and get this, in eCredit form. I refused the gesture stating that was an insult and demanded it be refunded to my credit card - what an assumption to offer an eCredit - poor customer service & a lack of customer consideration

*No acknowledgement or gesture for Customer inconvenience and discomfort while without bare essentials & personal items

*Associates have very poor English & grammar ability with equipment that is low standard and barely audible - Air Canada could better invest in proper equipment and higher standard staffing - what a disservice to the general public who are already frustrated

*More intense training with the call center associates is required, they all sound like robots reading a script with no REAL empathy, compassion or relatable or problem solving skills

*Landed in Barbados on Wednesday August 31st, 2022, today is September 5th, 2022 - still without luggage and the incompetency of the Customer Care associates is truly appalling. Moreover, the staff in Barbados is even more pathetic because they place all responsibility for every issue or opportunity to resolve to the Toronto airport staff - not helpful whatsoever!

*Insult to injury, we were told that Barbados customs expects me to pick up luggage when it arrives because I'm a National - even though I do not reside here, we are told this is the policy - how ridiculous is that reasoning!

This trip has been a waste of money and overall disaster, with one luggage missing and the other totally destroyed and unfixable.

I will not ever fly Air Canada or recommend anyone who prefers best in class, genuinely friendly and credible service and systems to fly this airline, it has plummeted very low in their standards and customer service.

Desired outcome: $80 U.S. luggage fees. A check for $1,500 for items in my "misplaced" luggage & another check for $108 U.S. dollars to replace my newly purchased carry on luggage & another $500 for items not found in my luggage that were definitely packed!

Air Canada Money reimbursement for lost luggage inconvenience and flight changes the entire trip.

Air Canada is awful! They delayed, cancelled flights, re routed us and lost our luggage for 3 full days. We had to sprint through airports to catch our next planes and my mom has a hard time getting around due to medical issues. Customer service was awful! We lost the first 2 days of our trip and we were exhausted the entire trip from the bad start. They forced us to check our carry on luggage, so we had nothing when we got to Greece and had to go shopping for clothes, shoes, bathing suits and toiletries. We had to wash the clothes on our backs in the sink with hotel bodywash and had to sleep nude because no clean, dry clothes to wear the first night. They delayed our flight coming home too which caused us to miss our home flight. They tried to give us 2 more flights to get home after flying 10 hrs from Greece. We asked for 1 flight closer to our home and they accommodated that because I had to demand it! Absolutely terrible experience and I refuse to ever fly with them again! We paid big money for premium economy and they switched our seats around even though we picked seats well in advance, so we weren’t sitting together and my mom has medical issues and needs me close by her. We told them to change our seats back and they did for one flight going over but not the flight going home.

Air Canada Getting reimbursement for delayed and lost baggage

We flew from Los Angeles to Lisbon, Portugal on Air Canada on July 12 connecting through Toronto. None of our baggage arrived in Lisbon on time. Two of our bags were located and delivered to us in Portugal on July 20. A third was sent to Montreal and then finally returned to our home address in Los Angeles on August 10. Our fourth piece, a walker needed for mobility has never been delivered to us. The Apple Air Tag I attached to it says the walker is still in Lisbon. The WebTracer service says it has been forwarded to Los Angeles.

I have replaced the walker because I need it to get around.

I have been trying to find a way to file a claim for the cost of replacing the walker but the Air Canada baggage issue website does not offer any way to claim for replacement of an item that has never arrived. And their form for claiming interim expenses before baggage is delivered is extremely difficult to use. It looks like they have deliberately designed their site so that you are likely to give up trying to get reimbursement. I have also spent long times on hold with the central baggage office but without getting any real help.

Regulators should insist that Air Canada treat its customers better.

Desired outcome: Please provide me with a simple claim procedure for the cost of replacing my walker and the cost of interim expenses I incurred because of the delay in delivery of my other three bags.
