Booking anything on Air Canada is asking for it.
30% on time perfomance.
10% cancel rate.
Garbage airline
Kona Airport has the following deficiencies, luggage return is poorly marked, in fact no one knows where your luggage is. Your outgoing flight is poorly marked, in fact no one knows which jet is yours. Rental cars are complete cluster F. Had status with Avis and walked past some 100 people waiting for a rental. Mass confusion. Nowhere to eat, Yeah it’s a nice outdoors airport. I’d rather have one with some competence.
