Mr Adebisi

Very easy to use , did cancellation within 24hrs , got confirmation email for refund.

App update crashes

The latest app update crashes on opening for my iPhone 7Plus and there is nowhere to report the problem. Not great.

What you should expect from the government

The app will not save my profile information such as Passport and Known Traveler Numbers. The Save button does not work. It crashes at least once every time I attempt to check in, usually when I am forced to manually enter my Passport or KTN that the app will not allow me to save. I am unable to save my boarding passes to my Apple wallet, again stellar functionality like the Same button that will not save information. What a hassle, but I skills expect this from Air Canada, the same airline that shrugged its shoulders at me when cancelling a flight.

Aeroplan login via app not working (update 2/5/24)

[UPDATE 2/5/24: Thank you for fixing the problem promptly - it is working now!]

The aeroplan login does not work as of 2/2/24 on an iPhone 15 pro max. The app loads a Safari browser window within the app that simply states “Safari can’t open the page because the network connection was lost”. Very frustrating.

We apologize for the inconvenience you faced while signing in to Aeroplan. A recent issue affected some of our customers in the United States, due to enhancements in our security protocols. The issue has been resolved by our team, so please try to sign in again at your earliest convenience. No update of the app is necessary on your part. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you.

App fails to allow booking

This is pretty sad for aircanada. I’m not sure who they hired to develop their app. I have been trying to use the app to book aeroplan reservation and I’m taken to a screen which doesn’t show final total of points and fees. The app freezes and doesn’t allow me to accept booking. And the website is not better either, every time I try to log on, I get a message my account is blocked for 30 minutes even though I have two-step verification. I love aircanada but this app makes me want to switch to other airlines. Grade F !

To assist you better and understand what might be causing these issues, we would appreciate if you could send us screenshots or a video of the problem you're facing while trying to make a booking.

We are committed to resolving your issue and improving your experience with the Air Canada app. Regarding the issue with your account being blocked on the website, this usually occurs as a security measure after multiple incorrect sign in attempts or unusual activity.  If you are using public Wi-Fi or a VPN service, including iCloud Private Relay, this could potentially trigger such a security response. If you're connected to Wi-Fi, we recommend trying to sign in from cellular data, as well as trying again without any VPN or privacy services enabled.

Love

I love this app so easy to book travel and keep eye on bookings, flights

Accurate information

Where everyone was waiting I headed to the exact gate B38 for the flight.
This was only achieved because of your incredible service. Thank you so much

Please go review West Jet app

The app works but is not as good as west jet’s app. I was able to upgrade my seats even after change in on the west jet app with ease. This app it is confusing and unclear what the price is. I think it is $55 each but when you click on the seat it doesn’t state. The home page is littered with ads instead of my flight information. That stuff is on another page/click.

Not very good

How does this get 4.7? It is terrible. Anything that needs actually doing sends you to the inbuilt browser. Unstable, crashes, very few features without resorting to browser.

Meals

I am flying tomorrow with air Canada and never got email about meals when flying to Toronto just the for the day when I return. I am in seat 12A Premium economy when flying out tomorrow hopefully I will get something I don’t eat chicken. 🤞🤞🤞

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write us with your feedback. We're sorry for any confusion you've experienced regarding meal options on your flight. Air Canada doesn't send emails about meal selections for the UK to Canada route. Our meal pre-ordering system is primarily for specific international flights departing from Canada. Where eligible, customers will receive an email invitation to select their meals, and reminders to order can also be found within the Trips section of the app. For your upcoming flight, you can still check the menu on the Air Canada website, or within the flight status section of the app. Once onboard, you can discuss your meal preferences with our flight crew. Alternatively, if it's more than 24 hours before your flight, you can also request a special dietary meal, such as a vegetarian meal. This can be done online at aircanada.com. We look forward to welcoming you on board soon. Safe travels!
