I was forced to check my carry-on bag, which I don't appreciate.
Check-in in Bogota was extremely slow. Priority line was unsupervised so people were jumping the queue, causing the main line to take an eternity. Each customer at the desk seemed to take 5-10 minutes for some reason.
Very uncomfortable flight: unhappy crew, wifi not working, touchscreen not working, food terrible (‘warm turkey and egg sandwich’ was squashed to an unappetizing mass about 1 cm thick) and the low-quality earphones that AC normally provides free of charge were now being sold for $3.95. I’d like to say I won’t fly with Air Canada again, but their flights are normally better so I’ll likely chance it again.
Republic was fine but Air Canada was terrible in the airport. They issues me a boarding pass that I placed in my wallet and then when I showed up at the airport they had taken the bar code away from the ticket because they changed the flight number even though the flight stayed the same time. This caused me to be unable to go through security and I had to go to Air Canada for help and they were horrible and almost caused me to miss my flight. Luckily I managed to get it figured out on my own phone, not the kiosks, or the agent I asked for help or the long line I was standing in!!
Flight was fine. Arrived on time. More room in the seats would be nice, but not something that is likely to happen.
Unfortunately your planes need maintenance. I am surprised your bathroom in business class was not working in 8 hour flight. Coffee machine was broken. Seat adjustment panel was bad. I will stay away from Air Canada in future travel.
Boarding, offer those who need assistance some time not to be rushed.
I was in Business Class row 7 on a 787-9. Both times I didn't get my choice of food. Otherwise, excellent!
The flight was good, the inflight tv's are too old and hard to work
Liked having internet over the ocean. Arriving meal was not sufficient.
