The internet connection was perfect, and the updated entertainment systems that allow me to connect my Bluetooth earbuds was excellent

It was good to receive a card for my birthday

They rescheduled me and I had no issues with the new flight

It would have been better if it wasn’t cancelled

No paper towels in bathroom. Aisle seat difficult to get out of Other than those, excellent service

Flying in the Dreamliner is always comfortable. Though the food options for Air Canada aren't great.

Both flights are delayed so I rate the whole experience as mediocre.

Bad experience boarding and flight got delayed didn’t make it to my next flight

No TV's. Seats are super uncomfortable. Crew was great!

Service Director cut all cabin lights and window screens defaulted to dark, but it was an afternoon flight going west. I spent hours trying to see what was reading as reading lights weren't working either. What the hell.
