Baggage
I actually usually have positive experiences with Air Canada. However, the flight this Christmas was an unpleasant surprise. They have the nerve to charge 22$ per bag, and then my bag didn't make it on the flight back to NYC from Toronto. They assured me the night I landed that it would be delivered to my home that evening. When it was not delivered by the next morning, I called and was redirected to India to a separate service that had no ability to do anything but call a 'delivery service' that had my bag, as if Air Canada washes its hands after it gives your bag to a delivery service, and your only access to the delivery service is through INDIA!!! The woman from India said the bag would be delivered by 12:30 that day. I decided to work from home for half the day, because I didn't feel like buying all new toiletries. However, 12:30 came and went, and I called again. This time I was told it would be delivered by 5:30-another 5-hour window I have absolutely no confidence in-and I have to stay home as I do not have doorman in my apt building in NYC. I asked the woman on the phone if Air Canada could provide any credit for the inconvenience it has caused me. My lack of productivity at work because I am not on site is significant. However, the woman in India said she had no authority to give me a credit, and there was no live PERSON I could speak to. However, I could file a complaint on line-great-they want me to waste more of my time due to their mistake. The fact that offering a credit in circumstances such as these is not standard operating procedure is beyond me. It is the worst customer service I have received form an airline in regards to baggage - at the very least, I should be reimbursed the charge for the baggage. I will avoid flying Air Canada for awhile due to the shoddy customer care I have just received.
