Yelp Review 2026 #56:…read more
I've flown with Air Canada several times. But my latest Air Canada flight from Montréal to Las Vegas has by far been the worst.
Booked a business class flight from Geneva, Switzerland to Las Vegas with a layover in YUL a few months ago. Woke to an email with a flight schedule change that did not make any sense. I'll be arriving in Montréal an hour later than my departure from Montréal to Vegas! I couldn't change the flights online and a phone call had to be made. I ended up with an overnight layover in Montréal which is fine. It gave me a chance to revisit the city.
Checking in was a breeze through the priority lane with nobody standing in line at all. VIP security check and Mobile Global Entry got me to the business lounge in under 10 minutes. That was the best part about the flight. Everything after that went downhill.
Boarding was late. Business class seats are wider with a 2-2 configuration, more legroom and more recline. We were notified the tray table was broken for my travel companion upon check in at the airport. Free Wi-Fi, good in-flight entertainment, breakfast, drinks including alcohol and snacks served for the 5-hour flight. I pre-ordered my meal online. The menu is different on the screen at the seat vs what's online. The food was ok.
Flight attendant, Suzy is the worst and probably should not be assigned in business class with her attitude. Not friendly and quite rude. She was giving off "I've been doing this job for years. I hate everyone and I'm ready to retire" vibes. During meal service, she asked what I wanted to drink and I said peppermint tea. She notified me that she cannot serve me tea while the fasten seatbelt light is on - ok, no problem. I got orange juice instead. The fasten seat belt light has been off for a good 10 minutes so, I figured I'd revisit my peppermint tea. Suzy snaps at me "like I told you earlier, I cannot give you tea when the fasten seat belt light is on!" So, I pointed to the non-lit fasten seatbelt light. And she goes "oh. Well, it must've just gotten turned off." No apologies whatsoever. Just downright rude. Time to help economy passengers instead or retire!
In some countries, flight attendants are screened based on looks, height and friendliness. Canadian and American airline companies don't do that which is fine but at least emphasize customer service.
