After said behavior has occurred for years and said company has been informed and only made a blanket statement when it hit the fan and said training involved a cbt course and the customer that was harmed was offered a complimentary 10 percent coupon for future services at the company that just provided the offensive encounter

My last Air Canada flight, they delayed it from 10:30 PM to 5:30 AM (due to mechanical difficulties), after most people were already waiting at the gate. They refused to book us in a hotel, but said they would bring us pillows and blankets to make our night in the airport more comfortable. And they gave us meal vouchers, which were useless because all the vendors in the airport were already closed for the night. Oh, and the pillows and blankets they promised never materialized.

It's stop-overs all the way down.

[@GLJosh]

I had a flight that got rebooked/re-routed 4 times in 1 week. When I called the airline, they pulled up the reservations and "asked how can we assist?" I then had to calmly explain that I could not make 1 of the 2 connecting flights as it was scheduled to arrive 45 minutes after the connection would have departed.

When the air canada lady asked "is there was anything else I could help you with" and julie said "well you didn't help me in the first place... so no" I laughed out loud so hard!!!! So many times I've wanted to say that over the phone before!

[@GreenPileOfSand]

Note: If you ever miss a connecting flight because the airline made changes to your reservation, make this VERY clear to whoever is helping you find a replacement flight! When this happened to me (a 3-hour connection was reduced to 45-minutes), the airline representative in the airport put me on a flight the next day. When I called into the airline and they saw that it was their fault that I missed the connection (as opposed to my own poor planning), my wife and I got bumped up the waitlist and got on a flight in like 2 hours. Of the many times airlines have rescheduled my flight, probably the kicker was the time they straight up discontinued the first leg of the flight and told me I'd need to find a bus. When I asked if I could get a refund for the flight they canceled, I was told it would be a lot of red tape and I would only get a few dollars back. How come it costs like $200 if I just change the day of my flight, but the airline can straight up cancel one of the flights without penalty???

[@PixieoftheWood]

Omg, this reminds me of a story I read online where an unaccompanied minor was booted from an overcrowded flight, so they made him sleep on the floor of an airport and didn't even contact his parents to let them know there'd be a delay. I feel like airlines are run by sadists.

This is 1000% Air Canada-y. We bought a ticket for my mom, they charged my card, and sent me the flight confirmation. We even got the email telling her to check in online. My mom tried to check in and it had an error and said we had to call. After two hours on hold the rep said somehow Air Canada-y didn't actually ticket the flight and it got "lost in the system", the flight was oversold, and they couldn't rebook her for 5 days. This was pre-pandemic. Julie - you deserve an AWARD for this sketch!

[@D4NC3Rable]

One time I got double-charged for my luggage after they changed the flight on me, and when I tried to get it refunded there was a circular automated online refund system with no options for the actual problem, which was they had simply made an outright mistake. It took months of calling & emailing the airline and insisting that no, in fact I didn't want to use their online refund forms, since I had exhausted every avenue in that regard and the problem I was having lay entirely outside their system's conceptualization of what was possible. Oh it was infuriating.

On a good day, He'd do everything he could and then sometimes have to transfer them up to customer service, who would go "yeah no we can't do that. Soz bye." EVERY TIME. Like as long as you go in friendly even if you're hella frustrated, and read the t&Cs with a fine tooth comb, then you're probably gonna get a better call from the person on the other end.

Nailed this! A couple years, my family flew from SFO to Montreal on the way to London. Air Canada. Instead of a doable layover, we got bumped and spent the night at the airport. Lost a full day in London. Flying back from London to SFO (Air Canada), we had a layover in Toronto. Several gate changes had us hauling kids and luggage all over the airport, plus the layover was lengthened by a couple hours. My elderly in-laws were waiting patiently at SFO… These were the only times I’ve ever been to Canada.

I was so mad I took the train from Saskatoon to Montreal [2 nights], and sat in the lobby of the AC head office insisting that I be allowed to speak to the head of customer relations. Eventually he saw me, heard my recounting, showed me a telex from the office in Saskatoon which corresponded fully to my narrative, and then said “Your name’s not on this - how do I know it’s you they’re referring to?”.

American Airlines: Once had a flight that I wasn't allowed to check in for due to COVID-19 protocols that didn't exist according to official government websites and was rebooked for the same flight 2 days later. Got to my layover for that flight only to find my connection was not on the board. Went to customer service and was told that my connection was actually for the day before (it was all booked as one ticket mind you). Got a new ticket where I had an extra layover and would arrive ~10 hours later. As I'm boarding that flight, the gate agent informs me my ticket had been inexplicably cancelled. Since I was airside, I needed to be escorted by the terminal manager back down to groundside to talk to customer service AGAIN. No more flights to my destination that day, so they book me a hotel, which they tell me there is a free bus to get there. The bus was expensive as hell, so I walk an hour instead. Show up at the hotel, and the airline had messed up my name in the reservation. Finally sorry things out with the hotel, and get to my destination a full 72 hours after when I was supposed to arrive. TLDR: Don't fly American Airlines. EVER.

This is exactly the reason why I prefer to have at least 6 hours gap between connection flights… because flights get changed, delayed, cancelled etc. And always mind that if you book connection flights with different airlines and at airport which is not a huge international hub, you’ll most likely have to take your luggage yourself and go out through Arrivals and then go to Departures to check in to your next flight. Smooth short connections work only when you book connection flights with same airline as one itinerary, and when connection takes place at international hub of that airline residence.

This reminded me so much of Steve Hofstetter's attitude about Air Canada. He's been avoiding them for years because of horrible experiences, and he talks about them regularly. Not that the other airlines are really any better. There's a reason I'm willing to spend days driving instead of dealing with the nightmare that is air travel anymore.

in 2021, during covid restrictions, I had a business trip, with a plane change (as planned), and they've lost my luggage during that change. I made a request immediately a arrival, spent a working week without luggage, and at Friday they called me saying "well, your luggage has arrived, but we will deliver it to your hotel tomorrow! now working day ends in one hour!" and guess what? I have a flight back the night before! so I had a rush to the airport and took my case back - just to put in the small souvenirs for my relatives. saved a lot of time not needing to repack it!

“It says we apologize for the inconvenience” “Yeah we do, and THAT is sincere.” 😂😂

I once had an Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Toronto to Philadelphia delayed overnight, switched to Montreal, then the Montreal to Philly fight was cancelled and moved to the following day, so I had to stay there overnight too. Craziest thing is they never even apologized for anything - I got so frustrated by the last cancelation that I asked the Air Canada desk agent if he could at least admit how badly the airline was inconveniencing us and that this was at least unusual, and he said something to the effect of 'no, this is the risk you take by flying'. Funny looking back, but they are brutal

oh and also they tried to avoid paying for a hotel room for us by telling us that it was critical to be at the airport by 6am for a 9:30am flight, so since it was already 2am we should just stay in the terminal.

This week, my Skywest flight from SLC to Kalispell was delayed at the gate for several hours. Her overhead announcement honestly said, "We don't have a pilot who can fly the plane back." But the kicker was, "And if you've got a problem with that call customer service."

20 or so years ago I was sitting in Minneapolis waiting for a Delta flight to Toronto. It was delayed, 15 min, then 30 min. Then the agent announces "The captain refused to fly this aircraft and we are looking for a crew which will agree to fly it"

OMG--This is spooky close to something that really happened to me, including the response from the airline--and the survey at the end!

I just went through something similar. There is a reason I have not flown overseas in over 13 years. Eff those people, they are purposely out to make as much money out of us as possible even if you follow their rules.

This happened to me when it was time to leave Kauai, Hawaii. The time shifted to earlier in the AM BEFORE the highway opened up in the AM. Yes, the highway on the north coast was opening at 7am at the time, due to landslide damage and road rebuilding. So it was impossible to drive to the flight that they changed us to. But the conversation on the phone was exactly like this.
