I have a trip booked on one ticket with the following flights: Air Canada: Calgary → Toronto → Delhi Air India: Delhi → Nagpur I arrive in Delhi around 8 PM, and my domestic Air India flight to Nagpur is at 6 AM the next morning, so there’s about a 10-hour layover. A few things...

Air Canada made everyone dump duty free liquids because the flight passes over US airspace?

I would be standing there like… what? Flying from Chile to Montreal and suddenly the rule is you can’t have over 100ml because the plane crosses US airspace? That sounds completely new. I’ve flown over the US tons of times on international routes and never had anyone care about...

First 15 hour flight on AC33… what should I expect?

Flying to Australia March 1 and it’ll be my first 15 hour flight. Longest I’ve done before was about 4 hours to Mexico. Plan is to wake up at 8am my time and try to stay up until 10 or 11pm Australia time while on the plane. I’ve downloaded shows and music, bringing compression...

Security situation in Puerto Vallarta, AC cancelling flights

Seeing this unfold tonight and it’s pretty wild. Air Canada just confirmed flights from PVR are cancelled tomorrow because of the security situation. Local authorities issued a confinement order. Sounds like multiple flights to PVR, Guadalajara and Manzanillo were diverted or...

E-upgrade on Latitude but waitlisted… no “R” space?

If you’re getting waitlisted even though the site shows e-upgrade space, it usually means there’s no “R” inventory available right now on that specific flight. For Air Canada, instant e-upgrade confirmation into business requires “R” class availability. If there’s no R space,...

“Business Class” fare but only economy + premium economy in the segments?

That’s usually a mixed cabin pricing quirk. Air Canada (and most airlines) will label the whole itinerary as “Business” if at least one long haul segment is in business class, even if a short leg is in economy or premium economy. But if your itinerary literally has zero business...

Air Canada long haul made me laugh at “best airline in North America”

Currently 13.5 hours into a 15 hour YYZ to DEL flight on Air Canada. Add another hour on the ground for deicing, just for fun. Lavatories are overflowing with trash and smell like half the plane forgot how toilets work. Meal service in “premium economy” was one drink round with...

Emirates + Air Canada codeshare… chances of getting seats together?

Booked two Economy Saver tickets from Halifax to Colombo on an Emirates operated flight, but it’s an Air Canada codeshare. Because of that, I can’t do online check in or seat selection through the Emirates app. Economy Saver also doesn’t include free seat selection, and it’s...

Chaotic mess with Turkish Airlines and Air Canada on one ticket

Had a roundtrip booked YVR–YUL–IST–DEL and back DEL–IST–YVR. First leg YVR–YUL was Air Canada, everything else Turkish. All on one PNR booked through Turkish. The YVR–YUL flight got canceled by Air Canada due to ops. Since the connection was tight, AC rebooked me on a different...

Air Canada delay due to standby aircraft, does APPR cover hotel?

Flying YYZ–YVR–PEK on one ticket with Air Canada, and my first flight got delayed over 3 hours because they had to “source a standby aircraft.” The delay pushed my arrival in Vancouver to 1:20 AM, and my Beijing flight isn’t until 1:30 PM, so I’m stuck overnight. They gave me a...

Aeroplan hiding the mixed cabin warning now? This feels sketchy.

Noticed something annoying on the Air Canada Aeroplan desktop site. The red or black “Mixed Cabin %” tag no longer shows up in the initial search results. Now you have to hover over each individual option to see if it’s mixed cabin and how much is actually in business. On first...

Checked bags through on separate tickets?

Booked Emirates from Country 1 → DXB, then a totally separate Air Canada ticket DXB → Nova Scotia. Wondering if EK will tag both bags all the way through. In most cases Emirates won’t interline bags to another airline on separate tickets anymore, even if the airlines can...

Can’t add a second checked bag on my Air India + Air Canada ticket and both airlines are blaming each other

Flying DEL to LHR on Air India, then LHR to Halifax on Air Canada, all on one ticket through a travel agent. I get one checked bag free but need a second and there’s literally no way to add it online. App won’t do it, websites won’t do it, web check-in won’t show it. Air India...

Will LH/ANA check my bags through to YYZ if my AC flight is on a separate ticket?

I’ve got TYO–MUC on ANA and then MUC–ORD on Lufthansa, all on one booking. Then my plans changed and I added a separate ORD–YYZ AC ticket. I’ve got 2.5 hours in Chicago before that last leg. Just trying to figure out if AC can merge it or if I’m stuck grabbing my bags in ORD and...

Made it to the AC gate on time but got denied boarding because Virgin “didn’t check us in”??

Flying MEL BNE YVR with Virgin feeding into Air Canada. Virgin delayed the first leg by ~30 minutes, so we were tight but still made it. I reached the AC gate right as boarding started. They scanned my Virgin-issued boarding pass, said there was a “problem,” and pulled me aside....

Do I need to recheck luggage in Chicago on a United–Air Canada connection?

Flying Paris → Chicago (United) → Montreal (Air Canada) all on one Air Canada ticket. Since both flights are international but with different airlines, do I need to grab my bags in Chicago and recheck, or will they transfer them automatically? Trying to figure out what to expect...

United needs to catch up on IFE, AC has live cameras!

Saw this on Air Canada the other day: tail cam and belly cam views right on the screen. Honestly one of the coolest IFE features I’ve seen. Can’t believe United doesn’t have anything like it yet.

Air Canada sitting on $66M in unpaid comp theglobeandmail.com

Saw this article saying Air Canada owes passengers over $66 million in compensation not refunds, not rebookings, but actual EU/UK261 payouts they haven’t made. Wild to think how many people got delayed or canceled and never saw a dime. Makes me wonder how many folks just gave up...

I was actually on that flight when we had to evacuate, and let me tell you, despite the initial panic, the crew handled everything incredibly professionally. The evacuation procedures went smoothly, and while nobody wants their travel plans disrupted like this, seeing everyone...
