Air Canada commercial

[jkjkdada]

holy fucking shit, that's all i can say! this is the best commerical ever! i wish air canada still had the ending where the a340 banked left and flew away! that was beautiful! love it!

[Python7791]

hey anyone know what the song is?

[luvmytandem]

Got Luggage? Avoid AIR CANADA. Their customer service is located in INDIA. Lots of luck getting any assistance. We filled out their claim forms for a 70 pound heavy duty case and they still can't find it. How can you lose an elephant?..allow AIR CANADA to take charge....customers have no rights here !!!!

[xterrasesc]

@luvmytandem its like that with every airline buddy.

[wandaslice]

@luvmytandem these exact horror stories if you search around can be atributed to every major Airline in existance it's not exclusive to Air Canada

[naisi]

@wandaslice Not exactly. Air Canada is know to be extra-notorious for luggage related problems.

[wandaslice]

@naisi Compared to who ?? after 25 years in the airline industry ... especially in north america.. Air Canada ranks in the top..not to argue .. but AC is way better than most north american carriers... im still in a claims fight with continental going back 2 years... le sigh

[naisi]

@wandaslice Nobody cares for individual bad experiences. Just because you had a bad experience with Continental does not mean that they are the worst.

It's a statistical fact that Air Canada has an extra bad customer service and baggage policy. Period. No room for a discussion.

[wandaslice]

@naisi and the same can be said for your bad experience with AC pot calling kettle black ??

[naisi]

@wandaslice Well, the problem is: I don't have any bad experience with AC. I'm just stating a fact, whereas you are blurting from bad personal experience.

[wandaslice]

@naisi statistical facts generally need to be backed with actual stats... just sayin

[wandaslice]

@naisi and since you are quoting statistical "fact" period as you say ... where is this "fact" ?

[naisi]

@wandaslice As youtube prevents users from posting external links in the comments, I sadly am not able to provide you with that ":)"

[wandaslice]

okay fine ... but Air Canada did win best airline in north america for 2010 just google it :)...( i think it is skytrax website).. I;m not saying there perfect because i would much prefer to fly Qatar airlines or singapore airlines but cant for simple domestic/trans boarder travel. you must have some kind of "individual bad experience" or the topic wouldn't of come up ??

[CptSchmidt]

The Celine Dion commercials were the worst commercials ever made.

[moleyarm]

I was meant to fly WestJet! The best service you'll find in any Canadian airline!

[TheTurbinator]

@moleyarm , the WestJet employees always look like they get hoped up on "happy pills" when reporting in to work, maybe it's in their water cooler.

[moleyarm]

@TheTurbinator, at AC all the employees look old and tired....Just puttin' in the time! I'll take the people on "happy pills" over the old hags any day!

[TheTurbinator]

@moleyarm, I agree with you on that. I worked at YYZ and the WestJet people are always happy and making jokes and funny announcements on the intercom. The Air Can people are older and grumpy because of the whole union thing. They act as if though they deserve everything, when in fact they deserve nothing. And this whole union thing makes it next to impossible for new people to get in and STAY in because of the whole seniority. They always fire the new people. I wish I was back with Air Tranasat.

[moleyarm]

@TheTurbinator , you're exactly right. The unions in the end, make it worse for everyone. Such a difference when you have a company where there's no union and everyone's part owner. There's some pride in ownership. Andd when WJ employees get tired of their job, they just leave for the next happy person to take their place.

[dancehallreggae]

air canada is piece of shit monopoly

[TheTurbinator]

@dancehallreggae , mmmm do I detect some but-hurt from someone who was denied entry?

[calvinair]

you should see that the canada is a multicultural country and not nazy

[GEORGIOS798]

no time to see that,,,i was humiliated from the nazi sadist officials of the air canada,,,and i can prove it.

[CanadianMapleLeaf01]

Unfortunately, the A343 and the A345 are not in AC's fleet anymore. Sad. I've got an aircraft model of the A343.

[iCanuckian]

they are the only air line in canada!

[VAC3180]

what about westjet, bearskin, first air?

[winkiiV]

of course they would insert a celine dion song in an air canada commerical.

two in one advertising, that's business.

[hhcandyhh]

Last Time I flew WJ, it was the worst flight in my life. The food was horrible, seats uncomfortable, and they lost my bags, and it took two weeks to get them back. :l

[fordgtjr]

Yes and I help fly that plane, I was the co-pilot for it and ya there are getting the 777, STUPID!! A340-400,600, and 800 are the best to fly and so much easier on us pilots.

[Tottiboy190]

The A340-800 does not excist...

the 300,400,500 and 600 do :P

[garlex134]

a340 is air canada's falgship air craft....right?

[fsxaddictx]

now its the 777 and there in the middle of getting rid of there a340s

[IairbusI]

Who ever bash on boeing or airbus arent true flying lovers.

[yomamasapeach]

Both are safe aircraft companies,about the video. Thats the car I have and it can't fit that many people

[supyowhoa]

aww they sold their A340's

[itsdjausten]

And bought 777 and 787s....

[walterpaes]

The best airlines are from asian and south america

[lgkga]

The only problem with air canada is i dont fell safe an Airbuses, probaly because iv grown up aroung boeing so ya. But there still a good airline!

[tomisjaffa]

hey! dont bully europe, they're planes are perfectly safe too ;)

[halogen123]

oi! Airbus rules, you stick to your Boeing if you want to but Europe has the best engineers.

[virtualaircanada2458]

I agree!!!

[musicexorcist]

The Air Canada Airbus fleet is perfectly safe. Airbus is safer than Boeing ;)

[dreamexecution]

flew with them before and it was nice, have another flight with them next week hope it goes well (damn connections)

[hac129]

Mine is this coming April. Chicago-Vancouver- Hong Kong. US$830 I think Northwest charges US$100 more (+1 more stop). I hate Newark, and have been always a bit apprehensive flying over north pole with twin engine B-777. Air Can flies a four-engine A340! I think B-777 is a fine plane. It's a matter of probability, LOL :-P So I think it's a great deal.

C$1600! Good lord. Especially when C$=US$

[herenaycomes]

price is always good during april and may.

theres one bad thing of A340. it doesnt have a power port! when you dont want to sleep and dont feel like reading, a computer is probably all you want on a dreadful 14- hour flight.

[herenaycomes]

low?

not really.

[hac129]

I booked a ticket to Hong Kong from US.

I was surprised, despite the strong C$, Air Can beats all US competitors and can fly me there for the lowest price. And the itinerary is great! No crazy 10-hour layover.

[heinousbitca]

seattle to london in the middle of the summer in BA economy hell? $1200 USD.

vancouver, a better airport with cheaper parking to london in the middle of the summer on a Tango Plus fare in not-that-bad Air Canada coach?: $780 USD.

yeah it's lower. and the baggage allowance bigger, and th service far better. no contest, folks.

[tomisjaffa]

really? ima going london-montreal in april by air canada, are they good?

[lemon935]

WTF, the last plane was a boeing 747 but they retired their Fleet and the paint was different!

[Obeva111]

NOPE! A340 in a semi-new paint- it doesnt look like the current ice blue textures

[thearenothespoon]

nice steep turn on the airbus a340-300 at the end!

[555664s]

Canada d'air est le meilleur

[cheezymmm]

Air Canada, is very good, their airplanes are comfortable and there service is friendly. I saved $600 on AC compared to WJ. :)

[RaRMaK]

Air Canada may sometimes be more expensive but then remember ..it all depends on the season. Not to mention Westjet is not an international airline except the few flights into america...Air Canada maybe more expensive but it offers better offers better connecting times not to mention it flies to international cities...so in the end it works out to be cheaper if your flying further

[MacDaddy421]

ummmm fares are often the same if not lower on Air Canada then Westjet, for example, I last trip was 60 dollars cheaper on AC

[AndyCheng]

Does anyone know the name of the song?

[enRoute]

"You and I" by Celine Dion.

[AndyCheng]

nice, thanks for that =P. Is it only for the air canada commercial? I really like this song.

[enRoute]

I believe so, it was their theme song in the relaunch campaign.

[faustitasia]

Nope, it's off of her "A New Day... Live in Las Vegas" album. The full-length version is fantastic.
