It is definitely worth it to pay to pick your seat. Having an aisle seat allows you to stretch a little.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of Canada

  • If you are bringing children with you to Australia, you must be aware that it is illegal for a baby or child under the age of seven years old to travel in a car without a child restraint. For this reason, you will need to bring a car seat on your flight to Australia or rent one upon arrival.
  • To visit the north of Australia, book a flight to Darwin International Airport (DRW) which services the Norther Territory and gives you access to several islands in the Beagle Gulf.
  • The centre of Darwin is only 11.4 km from the airport, or you could opt to catch a 2h 30min flight to Cairns International Airport (CNS) in neighbouring Queensland.
  • If you want to visit the east of Australia, there are a couple airports for you to choose from. Brisbane Airport (SNE) and Gold Coast Airport both service the southeast of Queensland and are ideal if you would like to be close to the beach. Further down the coast, Sydney Airport (SYD) services New South Wales and is under a 3h drive away from the capital city of Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory.
  • Before you get on your flight to Australia, you will need to apply for a visa in order to enter the country. If you are a Canadian passport holder, you will need to apply for a visa online, rather than a paper visa. This will allow you to visit Australia multiple times over a 12-month period, throughout which you will be able to stay for up to three months during each visit. The service fee for applying for an online visa is around 22 AUD (20 CAD).

Flight operated by PAL. We boarded, and one engine started. The crew found some problem that could not be fixed. The flight was canceled. This run from yhz-bos is very unreliable.

Flight operated by PAL. We boarded, and one engine started. The crew found some problem that could not be fixed. The flight was canceled. This run from yhz-bos is very unreliable.

Everything. The crew was so friendly, helpful & smiled. We had an excellent flight getting in earlier.

Baggage check is an aggravation. We had four 4 bags, if a bag is just .10 of a kilo you cannot check it on AC self baggage check. It is not possible to check the weight of the bag at the self checking. Should you check a bag that is under the limit it will go right through and you can’t get it back to redistribute weight from a heavier bag.

I cannot think how they could put more seats together but they did. So elbow to elbow leg to leg for these long journeys they should consider leg space at least. Since they did not offer to check people's carry one space was tight and if you did not get on first people used your assigned overhead storage so now your doing these same to another. Cascading inconvenience.

Despite exit row seating, which gave leg room, seating was so narrow, the next passenger spilled over onto my seat. WiFi did not work.

It was okay. The seating didn’t give you much space especially when you book a premium. It was still pretty close. The seats had no screens which was a disappointment. The crew was awesome though. Again I wish the wait between families with children boarding and general boarding was a little longer to give families some time to get situated especially those bringing a stroller like myself or for solo parents travelling like myself who has to do everything. The time between boarding zones especially with chilling is so short, I had to gate check my stroller and did not have enough time to pull it down and transport my luggage inside all while having my infant strapped to me or to even ask a flight attendant to assist as they’re busy with the the general boarding going on

Complimentary food options could be better. There should be a little wait between people boarding with children under 6 and the rest of the boarding. There isn’t enough time to get yourself situated before take off.

Flight itself was not bad at all. However: my checked bag (checked in Calgary) did not make it onto this flight as I found out after I landed at EWR. I still don't have it but it appears that it is on its way to me.

I was tired enough to fall asleep soon after takeoff and slept until "we are starting our descent to Toronto" announcement. That's not bad at all.

Very tight seats - no legroom at all, very tight to the person in front of you. If you have basic fare, you are loading zone 6 regardless of where you are sitting in the plane - meaning even as a middle aisle person at the front of the plane, I had to get people to get up and let me in as they had boarded earlier. Having to pay for a carry on is criminal. I am a frequent flyer, and air Canada has now joined the list of other terrible North American Airlines.
