Checkin was painful and slow! Lady didn’t seem to know what was going on and couldn’t explain the delay. Seemed ahe couldnt see the computer scree and we couldn’t hear her talk through her mask.

Staff was generally seeming stressed out and was a bit rude and slow. Plane left late. Pilot was very well-spoken.

The first flight was an hour and a half late leaving, thus missing my connection. The second flight Departure was two hours late Leaving.

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

This was a 5 hour flight with no entertainment and with a snack being provided (pretzels and fruit bar), which are both high in carbs and sugar. Nuts would have been a better choice.

We were delayed because of ground crew, not because the plane wasn’t ready to go. The food was better than usual!

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

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

Put first the requirement visible of the eta visa for no have problem in the airport at last time hour. Thak you.

My wife was in a wheelchair. Most accommodating and kind staff!

Everything was on time, loading and unloading went smoothly, and the staff were positive. I wish the seats were more comfortable and had a little more space. I was in the middle seat and had to keep my elbows in so I didn’t bump my neighbour’s arms. Would not like a middle seat ever again. Would fly Air Canada Rouge again 👍

I was randomly deplaned in Canada for staff's fault. Terrible experience and caused me a lot of delays.

The flight was delayed 2 times. The 2nd time with no knowledge of why.

Owfull, arrive to my destination 4 days ago and still waiting for my luggage

The seats are soooooooo small in economy. I was offered no tea or coffee in the am. When I asked was told that it was too late. The plane was 2 hours late leaving.

Very good. Very efficient. Entertainment was not functioning both ways which was disappointing.

Easy check-in at yvr Pleasant flight crew More comfortable economy seating than usual

Lots of announcements that no wheeled carry on bags were allowed on the flight, yet the overhead bins were totally full and made it uncomfortable trying to get through and significantly held up departure. Why were they allowed on when they said that they weren't? Trash only came by soon after service and I wasn't ready to dispose of it. I had to first hold on to it and after flagging and attendant was told to stuff it in the seat back! I have never run into the need to walk outside in northern winter weather at an international airport and wasn't dressed to do so in the cold pouring rain! I'm not thinking that I'll be back unless I hear things have changed.
