Anyone used Air Canada?

Hi guys,

As above really. Anyone flown with Air Canada recently? What did you make of it, any good or a hellish experience you never want to repeat again?

Excellent feedback, seems there is no real reason to avoid them. Considerably cheaper than BA (Infact I can fly to Australia for less than BA want to fly to Seattle or Vancouver).

Jealous, how much were your flights?

It seems like a bizarrely expensive place to get to - as I highlighted above its pretty much the same price as flying to Australia, which is just weird. Even Hawaii with BA is the same price :confused:

Flights to Vancouver have gone up significantly over a few years. About seven years ago, you could do it for about £400.

Yup, now its twice that. Which is just bizarre because numerous places further away - San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Sydney, Perth, etc etc are the same price or cheaper.

Prices have risen across the board over the last 7 years but that corner of the world seems to be especially bad. Seattle is even worse.

I'm actually looking at doing it with stops to save a bit of money, I'm actually looking to fly to Seattle and Air Canada come out not the cheapest but with the best itiniary - changing planes in Vancouver on the way out and Calgary on the way back. Oddly it's cheaper than flying just to Vancouver, direct, but there we go.

I've put this trip off every year because the prices were disproportionately silly but I figure its never going to get any better so I'd give it a go this year.

They're main stream and very generic airline

Trouble is every airline on Transat with the exception of Air New Zealand fits this description. It's nothing like as nice as the choice of high quality carriers you get going via Asia.
