-EYW posting is a mess.

-When we cancelled two people a couple hours before the flight boarded, we got immediate confirmation emails. Yet I'm told we were paged onboard. So some syncs that should be real time apparently are not.

// but Air Canada successfully flew millions of people since the transition date...
/// Above argument is catchy. It can be used to refute almost any complaint or bad PR: No catering on a long flight? no water? no lavs? deflated seat? just remind folks how many people they flew recently that DID have access to these things.

My list of experienced issues is lengthy.

As per others here, a couple days ago the Manage My Bookings showed all my flights just fine. Since then it shows an error and that I have no bookings. Still viewable only when I punch in each locator.
I could write my entire list here, but I think everyone has covered my list at some point in this thread.

Luckily though, I have gone relatively unscathed and managed to successfully eUpgrade all of my flights and only needed to call in three (3) times to have stuff fixed.
Only issue right now is missing AQM for three flights on Sunday.

I find that any functions related to ADCOL work marvelously well with a nice GUI (not a shocker)... otherwise, the website still stinks.

France would be okay but I always get Norway.

I’ve been absolutely inundated with itinerary change emails this week for 3 and 4 min changes which don’t fit their own schedule change definition.

Like others, just booked a new itinerary that has me in a ridiculous seat (J). I can get the seat map, I can move myself (my preferred seat is available) but system refuses to keep me in the new seat.

YYZ-SFO charged me 95.44 pre-Amadeus.

Post-Amadeus, when I changed to SFO-YVR // YVR-YYZ // YYZ-SFO, I was charged an additional 133.55, for a total of 228.99.

If I pull up the same itinerary online, it comes out to 150.22, which is a difference of 78.77.

The latest receipt shows YQ of 54 and a "Transportation International/Domestic Tax - United States(US)" of 24.74. That's 3 cents off the extraneous amount.

After a while on hold, I was told ticketing would look into it and call me back tomorrow.

The hardest part about this for me is waiting for CC statements, since it's hard to figure out what's going on until I can see the original CAD amount.

I didn't get a call, so I called back today.

They claim (after consulting with ticketing) that they charged me the $54 YQ and then refunded it, but refunds take longer than charges :rolleyes:

But that didn't explain the whole discrepancy, and she seemed surprised I could book the whole thing online for ~$150.

So now they have someone in the back office working on it, who will call me back when they figure it out.

Edit: I just realized I have another booking I cancelled that I haven't seen a refund for. Sigh.

Edit 2: Callback. The change screwed it up. But apparently when I changed my SFO-YVR to a different one, the system issued a refund, and it just hasn't shown up for me yet. So it sounds like things should be good here. But it also sounds like it was definitely caused by the Amadeus migration.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Air Canada’s New Reservation System






InTheAirGuy Dec 6, 2019 6:01 pm

I called the SE line today and got picked up within 2 minutes.

It was kind of weird.

I, too, have noticed that the SE line is getting serviced much quicker than the Concierge line.

Emailing local Concierge also seems to yield a quicker response than the central phone line.

Just got a schedule change on an Aeroplan booking. Did not get an e-mail, but got a notification because I manually added my reservation to the app.

This is what shows on the AC website post-change, looks new:

Of all the negative lately for me and others, tonight I had two on the positive:

1) a booking with UA segments on 014 stock I was able to get seat assignments via concierge.

2) Same day change on YEG-YVR-YYC triangle processed by concierge on phone and I saw the app instantly update in front of my eyes.

While there is plenty more room for improvements in timing, features and functionality, at least there is some good on the horizon.

For #1 - was this on day of travel or on a ticket some number of days in the future?

Similar here. I note however than when going to "preview seats," it shows the Y seat map, even if already sitting in J. In two instances, one a reward in I, one, an upgrade, in R. So I would expect the same if paid J/C/Z/P. Seat assignments are fine however.

Random data point

I booked my MIL a last second AE reward (just YUL-YYZ) apparently the in charge came to her specifically an introduced herself, etc. I am guessing my status carried forward on her ticket. I did not yet check what zone number was on her BP

Likewise, rewards from my account now show up on my list of bookings. Also, a couple of days past the migration, my wife on an award used my AE number when checking in on line instead of the booking reference and it worked.

AC Now Sending Post-Trip eUpgrade Credit Receipts?
 
Nearly a full day after my flight, I received this "BOOKING CONFIRMATION & RECEIPT OR NOTICE OF AN ITINERARY CHANGE":

https://i.postimg.cc/g0XdPHVX/ac1.png

https://i.postimg.cc/ZqGmYvHf/ac2.png

Not sure I needed this. Also odd that they can't distinguish between a notice of an itinerary change (which would be meaningless 24 hours after arrival) vs. a receipt.

And FWIW, this eUpgrade was confirmed months ago.

It's been like this for at least a week or two.
