Flight cancellation

I think I entered the wrong amount to be refunded as I thought this was for united Airlines. As I'm owed a refund from them also. However the documents I took snaps and sent has the air canada info as they were connecting flights. I'm not even sure what the amount from air Canada is till I get my statement. But you can see the amount from united. My review is one star as the communication between client and company is very poor.

Flight cancellation

It was chaos. We were uninformed and didn’t know what to do. We are also very unhappy with edreams prime, since they didn’t help us at all!

Flight delay

Worst airline ever. Customer services stated we were entitled to compensation for 2 delayed flights. Air Canadas compensation page would not let us claim.

Flight cancellation

We stayed and waited for our rebooking trip from Dublin to Winnipeg on August 19 in the Dublin Airport from 7:00 am to 1:30 pm in the line. The Air Canada representatives made rebooking wrong, send us to Chicago for final destination instead of Winnipeg. We went to check-in for that plain, the representatives from the United Airlines sent us back to AirCanada representatives. They rebooked our tickets on August 24 soon as they found. I must come back to work on August 23, but I need to contact my manager about take extra day off now without payment. I very frustrated and upset with that situation.

Flight cancellation

This company doesnt care about the clients it serves. I would rather fly with any other airlines than our own homegrown domestic company. Very sad to say.

  • Economy

Flight cancellation

Our flights got cancelled because of a strike of the personnel. The staf at cancun airport said everything was in order for our flights but that was a lie. I had seats with my children. But my girlfriend didn't have assurance she could fly with us because she had no seat. This is the worst experience I had with flying.
