flight ticket - passengers details change request!
Dear Air Canada!
I would like to ask your help and mainly support as soon as it possible!
I have a long term emailing with AC customer service colleagues - but unfortunately nobody can helps me.
We have a booked flight ticket (Booking Reference: SAGSSA) but due to an accident unfortunately we can not travel on the booked date.
We do not ask for a refund, just to make it possible to change the name on the flight ticket for extra fee! so that 2 other friends can travel instead of us.
Or give us a voucher what we need to use in this year.
Customer service colleagues did not give us any possibility or help.
We are very disappointed that our first trip with Air Canada is not so customer friendly.
Unfortunately this accident was not planned, but we can't travel in this situation.
Please be indulgent and give us one of the chance described above.
I'm waiting your response very much. We have left very short time for the departure!
Trusting in your favorable response,
Miss Emőke Benedek

missed connection and luggage problems
I want to complain about the horrible flying experience we had recently with Air Canada. We booked flight from SFO to DEL (India) and return. We didn't get one of our luggage while going from SFO to Delhi. While coming back from Del to SFO, after having a long 15 hrs flight from Delhi to Vancouver on July 06th AC0045 and ready to board at my connection to SFO, they didn't let me board because my luggage was not moved to the connecting flight. I missed my connection flight due to untrackable luggage and they gave me another flight from Vancouver to SFO after 24 hrs. next day that too a non-direct flight via LA taking 8 hrs for the 3 hrs route. My 24 hrs journey from India to SFO with my little kid turned into 48 hrs journey. After reaching SFO next day on 7th, still l didn't receive my luggage for which I missed my connection on 6th at the first place. I couldn't understand why luggage was not moved to my connecting flight at the right time and i had to come next day via LA. Even after wasting so much time, my luggage still not reached and received at the airport when i landed.
Please let me know if this is not the right place to register this complaint.

June 6, 2019
Dear Air Canada,
I had an unpleasant experience yesterday (5 June 2019) on Air Canada with AC184 flying from Vancouver to Toronto, departing at 12:40 p.m.
We were told about 30 minutes or so before the flight was to start boarding that the flight was overbooked. Very few people (about two or three as far as I could tell) were willing to take the $200 to give up their seat and fly a few hours later. I was on the list of people who were going to be bumped. The only reason I wasn't bumped was because some passengers "from Delhi" were delayed and so some seats at the very last minute became available (after the two hundred and twenty other passengers had already boarded and only minutes before the plane was supposed to leave). There was no explanation for why the passengers "from Delhi" deserved to get seats and I didn't.
I was told the reason I was on the list to be bumped was because I had not purchased pre-assigned seat selection. There should be some indication on the website that declining to purchase seat selection will increase one's chances of being bumped in the event that the flight is overbooked. I didn't know this. Although I don't care about what particular seat I will be assigned I do care *a lot* about being bumped. I would have bought it for that reason. I will obviously do so in the future because now I know. I should have been informed earlier, not at the time I was about to be bumped.
Also I am skeptical that all of the remaining two hundred plus passengers had bought the pre-assigned seat selection and that is the reason that they were not bumped. I suspect that many of them had not bought seat assignments and that what I was told was a lie. This brings up another problem, namely the lack of transparency about who gets bumped and who doesn't and for what reasons. Was it because Air Canada has some deal with a travel company and their customers are guaranteed to have a seat? Was it because family members of Air Canada employees decided after the flight was all booked to fly and were given seats? Was it because Air Canada had been doing a poor job of organizing its personnel and their movements? Was it because Air Canada has agreements with other airlines to give priority to their passengers when they are taking connecting flights with Air Canada? Was it just a matter of general problems about how to plan bookings for flights or make decisions about who are going to be bumped? Is some randomizing procedure applied to determine who will be bumped? If so how does it work? Why was I on this horrible list?
There are issues here about competence, lack of honesty, lack of transparency and possibly unethical practices that need to be investigated.
The bottom line is that Air Canada must state when you are buying your ticket that if you don't purchase seat assignments then your chances of being bumped are greater in the event the flight is overbooked.
I plan to file a complaint with Transport Canada, but on their website they advise one to contact the airline first. That is what I am doing.
Yours truly,
Graham Craig Fraser

booking cancellation policies/ refund credit back
My name is Florina David Colar, M.A.M.S. and I am a frequent traveler to Europe. I went ahead and book a ticket th Expedia who hasn't informed me when booking about the inability to refund or credit the booking. I am concern as I used your company twice in less then a year and Expedia is blaming you.
The ticket was from LAX-BARCELONA, June 27th 2019 and retour july 16th; [protected] reservation no. I called numerous time and expedia is telling me you need to credit me at least 80% of the ticket; my mom surgery got delayed and that is the reason I need to reschedule for July; however, the tickets in July are double the price and this is a family concern; Also, the terms and conditions of your 3th party are not clear stipulated and this is bad fore your costumer service as they are selling using you as a brand.
Please refund at least 80% as a voucher for my next upcoming trip.
my email is [protected]@nlacrc.org or call me at [protected].
thank you in advance,

delayed bag
Case file: LGAAC82857
Name: PATEL
10th May - 530pm flight from Toronto Pearson to LaGuardia airport. Whilst clearing customs in Toronto we were told one of our bags are pending so we went back to await for one bag to be cleared. After 30 minutes we have been told everything is fine so we went ahead and cleared customs and continued our flight.
We arrive in LaGuardia airport at 7pm with that same bag still left in Toronto. We filed a delayed bags claim and were told we will receive our bag by either midnight same day or 6am on 11th May as it's on the next flight from Toronto to LaGuardia (10 th May arriving at 2221)
8am I called customer services as I have still not receive this. Told it will be with me within 2 hours so 10am. I call at 12pm as I still have not received my bag and am told will be delivered within 30 mins.
At 2pm still no bag so I call back again and am on the phone to the supervisor for 1 hour. I get told it's still at the airport and still needs to be picked up. At 8am I was told t was already on a truck to my residence. I then get told it will be with my between 4-9pm.
I call again at 915pm no bag I get told within next 2 hours by 11pm. I all again at 1115pm still no bag and I get told they can't get hold of the delivery company.
I have called many times and been told I'm sorry, thank you for your patience. These people need to stop reading of a script and know how to provide customer service.
I have a baby with me and no bag. The customer service team have no clue what they tell customers. They have absolutely no idea what to tell customers, they lie, put us on hold and pretend to call the delivery company.
I have been told about 8 different things by the same call centre. Clearly no one knows what's going on with my bag. It's not 1130pm still no bag and have been told it will be delivered within the hour which will make it 1230am 12th May. However a previous rep told us they delivery company work only until midnight? Which one is it? Why have a call centre set up in India when the reps do not know how to provide customer service or do not know about the delivery company which air Canada use.
It has costs me £2 per minute when Each time, I have made over 10 phone calls lasting from 20 minutes to 1 hour each.
I am absolutely disgusted with the way air Canada have dealt with this esp when repeating I have a baby with me who's things I need. Instead of providing any solutions what so ever, all I have heard is the delivery company this and the delivery company that, I'm sorry for your lost baggage, thank you for your patience. Instead of teaching them to read of a script, air Canada should train staff how to solve problems and provide solutions.
I was even happy to provide a solution and go to the airport myself and pick up my bag but air Canada customer service reps were not willing to listen.
I have now lost my patience and something needs to be done. You have already broken one of my other bags in transit which I'm claiming and now this. I need to be compensated for all the calls I have had to make, my time and the fact I am on holiday and cannot enjoy it due to the stress and inconvenience air Canada have put me and my family through. I am only on NY until 15th May when I am flying back to London.
I look forward to hearing back from someone who knows what they are doing and can actually deal with customer complaints. Not a call centre in India where staff clearly need training.
did not receive seat paid for
Regarding flight Ac84 on wednesday, May 4th 2019 confirmation # AJFZZV:
I paid and reserved 3 months in advance for 2 bulkhead seats, for me and my wife. We were flying with my 16 month old baby and being that it was a 10 hour flight, the only way my baby was going to sleep was laying across the 2 of us. The bulkhead seats were supposed to make the 10 hour flight somewhat easier. Yet, when we got to checkin we were told that although my wife still had the bulkhead but my seat was switched to row behind my wife.
I tried to move our seats to be next to my spouse but the flight was fully booked. I was was furiousand would like compensation for a number of reasons: It was a very difficult and uncomfortable flight for us being that my baby could not lay across us both, and that was literally the reason why we booked the bulkhead seats in the 1st place -for comfort! In addition, we are very frequent flyers and this was the first (and hopefully only) time that me and my wife did not sit next to each other! My wife is pregnant and if there was ever a flight when she wanted me next to her it was that flight. Also, I paid more than $100 extra per bulkhead seat - what did I pay for?!
We have never been dissatisfied with air canada's service in the past and i am confident that we will be compensated accordingly!

business class bathrooms not functioning and flight attendants attitude on ac 038
AC 038 from Melbourne to Vancouver on 29 March, 2019, was oversold which resulted in a late departure. Flight attendants were frustrated and trying to get passengers seated for the flight. At the beginning of the flight there were 3 bathrooms available for Business class; shortly after the meal was served, it was down to 2 working bathrooms. A flight attendant said they had called an engineer! Before too long it was only 1 working bathroom; Business class was full except for 2 empty seats. It was a deplorable situation for a 16 hour flight; and became a safety issue when passengers were lining up to use the facility. While standing in line, a female passenger commented on the attitude of a flight attendant and said that one practically ran over her with the service cart! It seemed that the flight attendants disappeared because they did not want to address the bathroom problem and when they did surface, there was no joking around; a very unhappy group. On our next Air Canada flight, we expect working bathrooms that the sanitation engineer has fully checked out before the flight! To add to the problem, we came close to missing AC 8108 from Vancouver to Denver at 840 am, even though we had a Fast Pass through immigration. An immigration officer told us we should have planned at least 3 hours for the connection! The saga continues; Air Canada information on the airport monitor had the flight listed at 2 different gates; of course, the gates were not close-by so we had to run to get to the correct gate. We barely made the flight to Denver.
wheelchair service, flight delay and flight downgrade, pain and suffering and humiliation
My name is Chandrashakhar Gosine and I am a senior citizen. At 12:27 AM on March 13, 2019 I booked a round trip from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, booking reference LAJFWE for departure on March 19, 2019 returning on March 31, 2019. This was a Business Class I on Aeroplan Rewards, 60, 000 plus $305.05 CAD. My ticket number was [protected]
The Halifax/Toronto/Port-of-Spain leg of this trip was uneventful. I got a wheelchair, the attendants of which got me to my gates on time and on board, in business class, I got my vegetarian meal. At my destination I had a wheelchair to take me right through to my waiting relatives.
The return journey was a disaster. In Port-of-Spain I had a wheelchair from check in to the waiting area then to the plane. I had my seat in business class but no vegetarian meal was ordered for me. My profile indicates that I need wheelchair assistance and vegetarian meals. The flight arrived in Toronto at the estimated time of 6:49 AM. The second leg of my journey was scheduled for take off to Halifax at 8:05 AM. I had to wait until the passengers of flight AC1881 had deplaned and until other wheelchair passengers who had forged ahead were attended to. When it was my turn I told the agent that my connecting flight to Halifax was at 8:00 AM. There were changes of wheelchair agents along the way to the immigration. Each change of agent involved a waiting period of at least 15 minutes before another agent arrived. The agent took me to the immigration officer where I presented my passport and completed customs declaration. After this I employed a porter to retrieve my suitcase and proceeded to the customs officer. The agent, myself and the porter were on the way over to connecting flight baggage handling when I told her again that my flight to Halifax was at 8:00 AM. She told me it was too late to get that flight. She inserted my boarding pass into a machine which printed an identical card for the same flight. She seemed puzzled by this. The porter had told her that there was a long line up for service and we proceeded to an adjacent room. She then disappeared for an interminably long time, probably half an hour or more, and on return told me that I can travel at 12:30 PM in economy or wait until 7:30 PM for a seat in business class. I took the 12:30 flight in an effort to get home as early as possible. She disappeared with the porter and baggage and returned with a boarding pass for the 12:30 flight.
Flight AC604 was delayed about 80 minutes, leaving at 9:20 AM approximately. My luggage was placed on the belt at 8:38 AM which left enough time to connect. My flight from Port-of-Spain arrived at 6:48 for a scheduled arrival of 6:30. My ticket was booked by an Aeroplan agent who must have known that I would have enough time to make the connection. My son, his wife and two children had taken that same flight from Trinidad and then flight AC 604 to Halifax on March 27 and they were able to make the connection without any problem.
I am a handicapped person who had been travelling all night to get to Toronto and then to Halifax. I booked and paid for business class on all four legs of this round trip. Instead I missed my flight through no fault of my own even though AC604 took off over an hour late, the agent did not bother to give me entry to the Maple Leaf lounge until I asked where do I wait and never bothered to ask me about breakfast. She wrote on the back of my economy boarding pass that I was originally a business class customer. At the lounge my boarding pass was torn up and a new one made, placing me on standby for business class. This is not indicated on the ticket ETKT0142410645367 for all to see. Flight AC608 on March 31 arrived in Halifax about 4:30 PM. This makes it 9 1/2 hours from the time I arrived in Toronto to the time I arrived in Halifax. This is unacceptable.
It is hard enough to travel all night and half a day to get to Halifax, even with the comforts of business class, which it would have been had I travelled on the flights that I had originally booked. Needless to say, it is worse not to get properly fed on the overnight flight, then not get my booked flight, not get the class of travel that I booked and paid for and not get anything to eat for nine and a half hours except for two slices of toast at the Maple Leaf lounge. Being tired and weary after a sleepless night I fell asleep and snored. I was woken up by an agent who complained that I was disturbing the peaceful enjoyment of other travellers so I left the lounge. I feel I should be compensated for the discomfort, pain and suffering and humiliation endured during this harrowing experience.
My wife and I have flown predominantly with Air Canada and have been members of the Aeroplan program since 1984. Such shoddy treatment is unconscionable and deserves an apology and compensation by issuing four open business class tickets to destinations of our choice wherever you fly.

Lost luggage
March 11, 2019
Air Canada
7373 Côte-Vertu Boulevard West
Saint-Lauren, Quebec (Canada) H4S
Attention: Calin Rovinescu, Chief Executive Officer

ETKT0142409181900
Dear Mr. Rovinescu,
I am writing to you in desperation at this point. I have had a horrendous experience on your airline and the nightmare continues.
I have phoned several times and each time I am given a different story in regards to our bags.
We were originally booked on AC012 from Shanghai, China to Montreal Canada on 3/6/19. Our flight was canceled so we were rebooked the next day on AC028 to Toronto, ON with a connection to AC728 to NY-LGA. After arrival to Toronto, we were advised that our flight was delayed. The flight never left. We requested our luggage as we had already missed work due to mechanical problems and more importantly, our final destination was Rochester, NY with a connection via Delta Airlines. The flight was missed on 3/6/19 due to cancellation and we were informed that we needed to pay $188 each to fly the next day. We never made the next day due to another mechanical failure.
We asked to have our bags pulled so that we could catch a Greyhound bus to reach our final destination, Rochester, NY. We waited for over two hours for the bags then inquired again and was told that our bags could not be located. We then were told that they would be forwarded the next day. Because it took so long, we missed the last bus and had to stay in a hotel in Toronto. I was ill and needed medical care. We have been calling since Thursday and have receive nothing but the run around. First, we were told that two Black bags were located. The we were told that a grey bag and Black bag was located. Now we are being told that only one of the four bags have been located.
We never received them. We have called each day only and have been told a different answer each day. This has been a nightmare for us. First the flight problems now our luggage. We need your help to resolve completely.
Respectfully yours,
I can be reached at [protected] or email: [protected]@gmail.com.

On febuary 21st I arrived in dfw from tirana, albania for a short visit with my daughter who had just had her first child. My bags were lost and I waited almost an hour just to speak with someone in lost luggage. I was not the only one, one gentleman had lost his gun and other had lost or damaged luggage. We all waited together and upon arrival of the agent, she did nothing helpful or condusive to helping resolve the issues. If she had stated, "I am so sorry, lets find your bags", it would have certainly eased the situation. Instead, she was belligerent, rude and threatened to call security on all of us when no one was making any threats or actions agaisnt her. Of course everyone was upset but the real anger began at the way she treated us. I was told that if my bags were not recovered within 24 hours, I would receive compensation for buying clothes and toiletries. My bags arrived on the 23rd, 3 days after I arrived. I received no compensation even though I had to buy items and clothes until my bags arrived. I will never fly your airline again, I would like compensation for the my expenses and it would certainly be helpful if the employees at the dfw airport received customer service training as they obviously never received it.
Respectfully,

flight out of canada to dominican
Our flight ( AC1820) was scheduled for 3:35 p.m. on January 29th, 2019. The weather the evening before had been bad so we were expecting some delays but what we went through was a lot more than a weather delay. Our flight was delayed to 4:45 due to the back up of traffic from cancelled and delayed flights. That's fine - to be expected. We finally boarded our plane around 4:45 - 5. I was in row 1 aisle seat - this becomes important as the story progresses. We had all boarded the plane and gotten settled when the first delay came. The maintenance / ground crew came on board a few times and then the staff started calling out a passengers name. After 15 minutes of this, they finally announced that the passenger was not on board yet their luggage was and it needed to be removed - fine, no problem. 20 minutes after that we were told again by the pilot that we would be leaving within 10 minutes - this became the sentence of choice over the next 2 hours. Then the maintenance staff kept coming on and off the aircraft. All the while as we are still seated with the door wide open in -20 weather. We were still attached to the walkway but the door leading down to the ground was wide open and the wind was very strong. I was the first seat on the aisle receiving the full blast of the weather for the entire 2 hours I was seated in the aircraft. We were told over and over again that we would be leaving in 10 minutes that there was just a fuel calculation discrepancy and it would be taken care of soon. During this entire time I was sitting there freezing with my winter coat on, my mittens taken out of my carry-on and begging for a blanket - of which they had none on board. The stewardess finally pulled the curtain across to try and cut the wind getting to us but it helped very little. Eventually after 2 hours, they announced that we would have to leave the aircraft and arrange for a new flight. After leaving the aircraft, we were informed our flight would be at 11p.m. 7.5 hours after our flight was scheduled. At 10:30 p.m. we went to the gate we were told we would leave from. We were still told it would be a 11pm departure. At 11, it suddenly changed to 11:45. At 11:45 we were then informed that our gate had changed and we needed to move. At midnight we were finally told what gate we should head to. We finally got on the aircraft at 12:45 pm. Our flight finally left at 01:30 a.m. a full 10 hours after we were supposed to leave. At this point I had been awake for 18.5 hours and was in incredible pain as my prescription meds had worn off. I was unable to sleep on the flight, the food we received was sub-par - our nuts thrown to us in bags - whereas I am used to the heated nuts in first class. The stewardess didn't really offer much to us as she kept saying people wanted to sleep - impossible for me on an airplane let alone without my c-pap machine and my medicine. We were supposed to arrive at the Puerto Plata Airport at 9:30 in the evening, being able to get settled in rooms, have a snack and sleep ready for the next day, instead we arrived at our hotel at 6:30 in the morning - when they were not prepared for the passengers as their staff we not on duty as of yet - 1 person to check in over 100 people. It took another 2 hours to get into my room. I didn't unpack, or eat. I took my medication hooked up my c-pap machine and after a full 25 hours of no rest, slept through my first day in the Dominican. My vacation was now 1 day completely shorter as the travel time was not only increased by 10 hours it screwed up when we were able to sleep. My entire vacation was messed up as my hours were all messed up by having the change my sleeping pattern on the first day. I missed most of the daylight hours the first couple of days as we were all exhausted by just getting to the Dominican. I feel we all deserve compensation for the disaster my vacation became. All we were offered was a discount on the next flight we booked within the next year. As I don't travel every year, this is meaningless to me as my next planned trip will be to Europe in the Summer of 2020- meaning the offer we received is useless to me. I request monetary compensation for not only the delays and harassment but for the loss of a full day of my vacation, the pain and discomfort waiting for over 10 hours as my medication wore off, and the freezing temperatures I was subjected to for over 2 hours while they decided what to do about the aircraft and with no comfort of being offered a blanket. I asked and was informed there were none on board. As a business class passenger, in the past I have been offered blankets on flights so this seemed to be a reasonable request on my part. They could have at least closed the door on the pathway down to the ground and had the maintenance crew open it when they needed access instead of it being left wide open and causing extreme discomfort to your passengers at the front of the aircraft.
the services at boarding gate counter
In the year of 2018, I flew from Calgary (my home town)with AC 4 times (2 Vancouver, 1 Paris & 1 Halifax) all return flights .
There is always the announcement at the gate counter - "this flight is full, we ask any one who VOLUNTEER to leave any HAND or CARRY ON luggage in the cabin, come forward". We lodged our carry on luggage for the cabin at the request of a staff walking the line after we were standing for an hour at Paris airport. You see, the ones who had volunteered at first announcement got board the plane first after children & first class/business passengers. I shake my head when I saw the overhead bin with overcoat, brief case among hand luggages. There were ample space in the bins for God sake. Can't the air stewardess or passenger put overcoat on top of a hand luggage. There were sufficient space for more carry on luggages.
Then came my Halifax trip stopover at Toronto on AC 620 on December 19th. There was that dreading same announcement again. I am almost 5' tall & 65 years old. I had a backpack full of small wrap Christmas gifts & a box of shortbread. It was not heavy. I planned to put it under the seat in front me. I didn't carry my handbag. I also had a carry on with my 4 days cloth etc . I wore same runner in Halifax. But I put 2 crystal bowls bigger than the bowling ball in that carryon luggage one against one with wrapping paper at the side of the luggage. I removed the box for more space . Guess what, my son who helped me pull that carry on and carried his bag on his shoulder got stopped at the gate counter and the lady made 2 tags for those carryon. I walked ahead of my son and wait in line for him for awhile. Then I found out my hand luggage got tag for cabin. I was mulling and told my son to come forward to my side for the isle to our seat. Guess what, the male Steward used his foot to bar my entry outside the cockpit . He picked up the phone to talk to the gentlemen at the enter of the plane who collect the tagged carryon. I was anxious and explained to the steward that there are 2 Crystal bowls in my carryon. I don't want them break cuz they both are fragile. Not until I raised my voice with same things & with those big passenger's despised look, your honourable staff ALLOWED AC customer to enter. There were room for my suitcase. As soon as the passengers opened their bin at the back where we sat on plane (AC149) after landing in Calgary from stopover (Toronto) on Dec. 26th. Couple bins were literally empty but the bins were shut when we board that plane in Toronto. No other Airlines (Tap/Westjet/United/Cathay) would force customer to put their hand luggages in the cargo area.
Sorry about this long statement. From a very disaffect encinomy class small customer.
flight delay
Good day all.
I would like to ask you what happens if I payed for your service and nobody contacted me regarding flight delay?
When I booked my round flight from Zagreb to Fort Lauderdale, I payed extra for Airhelp+flight delay, and now when I experienced delay of more then 5 hours, nobody even try to contact me and say what is going to happen now.
On 12th of January my flight number ACa 1627 from FLL to Toronto Pearson was delayed for more then 5 hours due to the tehnical problem, that afected my next flight to Munich and next flight to Zagreb, so I had to stay overnight in Toronto even tho I had emergency issues at home.
Please be kind and tell me are you going to claim money from Air Canada on my behalf?
Thank you
Kind Regards

We flew from yqr regina on dec. 24th flight ac 1114 at 11:10, to toronto. from toronto we flew on flight ac 488 to montreal.
Our ticket numbers are 0142 [protected]
and [protected].
We checked two bags in the oversize luggage. tag #s 0014 ac917112 and 0014 ac917113.
These two black bags contained two sets of skis.
We flew to montreal where we were picked up by a private shuttle vehicle that took us to smugglers notch ski resort. we had made arrangements to have a family ski holiday over christmas. my husband and I are seniors and we believed that this would be our only opportunity to ski with our grandson. our skis did not arrive in montreal. we were told that one set was in regina the other in toronto but they would be shipped to us in vermont and we would receive them the next morning. our skis did not arrive the entire time we were there. while my husband rented I was uncomfortable with the idea of rentals at my age. all of the traveling, the expense and the planning were for nothing. my husband took time off work as well. I expect that aircanada will be compensating us for their failure to deliver our skiis.
ac flight 160 / december 14, 2018 / airbus a321-200
I was sitting in seat 16A on flight AC160 out of Edmonton on Friday, December 14/18, which is the seat located by the window directly to the left side of the EXIT door. As the Airbus 321-200 lifted off the tarmac, a SPRAY of de-icing fluid entered into the cabin from the top left side of the exit door, spraying me and the seat next to me (16B, which was empty). As soon as I felt the fluid hit me (right side of my head and right shoulder), I tried to move out of the way by leaning as far as I could to the left - bearing in mind this was during takeoff and my seat belt was on which prevented me from moving my lower body. The spray continued in, in a steady stream, for almost 15 seconds. The left side of my seat and my left thigh and buttock were drenched with the de-icing fluid, which then became extremely cold over the next half hour as it dried.
On touch-down, AGAIN de-icing fluid that had been trapped in the seal of the door dripped down on me in large drops. I grabbed a magazine and used it as an umbrella, so the BISTRO magazine got the fluid instead of me.
I reported what had happened to one of the air stewards who immediately took up a phone and reported what had happened to, I presume, the Captain. Although she was concerned enough to report it, she did not bother to apologize to me!
issue with travel on nov.27,2018 toronto to dubai - flight ac56
I am sorry to say this but I have faced lots of stress & hassle for my dad travel to Dubai on Nov.27, your crew at airport is not allowing my dad to board the plane, he has a confirm booking from Dubai as well & coming back to Canada, the manager on site was Bryn & there was a lady who start creating this issue at counter, my father has a confirmed booking for Jan. 18, 2019 Dubai to Mumbai, still I hav eto buy a air ticket on urgent basis which cost me $240 K for him to show them he is going back on Dec.25 from Dubai to Mumbai instead of Jan.18.
I have my brother in Dubai who already confirmed over there that not to worry when he come to Dubai he will get 30 days visa on arrival & then you can renew another 2 month if you need it, no issue, I have spoken to that lady & manager but they never listen & they stop my dad who was 76 year old to fly such an unexpected behavior from the staff If I don't get another booking Ill be end up loosing my flight money as well, call me on my cell:[protected] or reply me on my email:[protected]@gmail.com, I need refund for my extra ticket, I have attached the copy of my booking.

Last time u gave me 30 % off. I paid extra to get on that flight cause I had a friends wedding reception. I had no clothes to change into. I'm sorry but this has happened to me to many times. Like I'm sorry I'm very calm person but this has gotten out of hand. I hope u can fix this 30% will not due. I feel like at this point something more should be done. So Im waiting for a reply. Please and thanks
