Here’s a brief list of some the problems we had on our recent trip to St. John’s Newfoundland on Air Canada:
1. Original flight was canceled and re-booked for a late afternoon flight the next day.
2. We lost our business seating during the re-book and were placed in the back of the plane next to the restrooms.
3. We lost the difference in cost between the preferred seating on our original flight and the regular economy seating we were re-booked on and we’re NOT refunded the difference!
4. Our re-booked flight in Philadelphia was delayed over an hour because Air Canada said they were “short staffed.”
5. Our connection flight in Toronto to St. John’s was ALSO delayed over 3 hours because of alleged “security issues.”
6. The airplane was delayed another half hour in Toronto because Air Canada said they had to get our plane to an alternate gate. In the Toronto Air Canada terminal, there was no access to this new gate? We we were then herded like cattle to a closed glass door until we were finally allowed access to the new gate.
7. Tired and dejected, we finally landed in St. John’s at around 3:30 AM to find that ALL of our bags were missing! No Air Canada staff there to even help us file a claim?
8. Also, because of the huge delay and ultra late arrival, we were unable to get our rental car because the rental car agency was closed. Had to get a cab instead.
9. In the cab to the rental house, we were informed by the cab driver (a former Air Canada employee) that luggage was often purposely left in Toronto because getting the mail to St. John’s paid more and got preference to the customers luggage.
10. Half way there folks! NOW the return trip!
11. On the return trip from St. John’s to Toronto (ultimately trying to get back to Philadelphia ), our flight was delayed over 40 minutes for a supposed “mechanical issue.”
12. After finally boarding our connecting flight, we sat on the plane at the gate for over an hour because they said there was no one from Air Canada available to bring the paperwork to the plane to allow us to take off?
13. During the delay, customers were hitting the call button asking about the delay and connections and the stewardess’s were rude and talking smack about the passengers.
14. During the flight, I used the restroom. As I came out, the Pilot came out of the cockpit at the same time. With the door to the cockpit wide open he entered the restroom behind me with no security measures in place?????
15. Because of the delay in St. John’s, (as we were in the air) we were automatically re-booked again on a much later Air Canada flight.
16. Again, we were rebooked from our preferred seating to economy seating in the back of the plane NOW going to Philadelphia through Chicago instead of directly to Philly!
17. Having enough of Air Canada at this point, we just decided to just rebook (on our own dime) in Toronto to Philadelphia on a totally different airline.
18. We then proceeded to an AirCanada service desk to let them know we had rebooked on a different airline and wanted to cancel our rebooked Air Canada flight. The Air Canada service representative assured us they would cancel our flight (more on this later).
19. After switching flights and airlines, we went to a Air Canada service desk in baggage claim to have our luggage retrieved. After a super long wait (we’ll over an hour), the Air Canada service representative told us they could not located our bags. He then had to call a manage (another wait) for us to be able to file a bag claim.
20. Finally we thought we were home free, but on the way to the new gate/airline, we were held up at customs because the Air Canada customer service representative (that told us she would cancel our flight) never canceled our re-booked Air Canada flight. (We DID make the flight home finally on a different airline! ??).
