Air Canada Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Economy Class review

Note: this video was recorded on February 8, 2020.
All last year I had tried to get on one of Air Canada's Dreamliners, but either the tickets would be very expensive, or they wouldn't fly it on a weekend. But with Canada being the second largest country in the world, it is no surprise that they use wide body aircraft on domestic routes. Air Canada have 37 Dreamliners, of which only 8 are of the smallest 787-8 variant, so it was an extra special occasion for me that I got to fly the aircraft type.

I am flying Calgary to Montreal on this aircraft next month for a class trip I’m excited

Brilliant review! I have never tried a Dreamliner and it's always cool to see a review on them, especially with AC. The small 787 is very cute and your reviews are great as usual!

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks mate, really appreciate it!

Great video Robin. I'm proud to have #YEG be my home airport, and I was really happy to see a brief look through the terminal again, the new part in particular. I was scheduled to fly to Vancouver and then onto London next month, but with that being shelved, it was great to still experience the airport through your video. Thanks so much!!

Thank you, Peter! Happy you liked my video. YEG is a fantastic airport IMO. Happy to fly through there all the time.

Hello Robin.. Nice to see another video. Hope your hunkering down is going. Thanks for making the long days help pass. Have a great day sir.

Thanks mate, really appreciate it. I’m doing not too bad but I hope to get back into the air soon.

Awesome video man

Thanks!

Nicely detailed video. The inflight service, although common nowadays, looked grim! Stay home and stay safe!

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks Colin. The sandwich was definitely overpriced

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks buddy!

Great review, Robin. I only flew their Dreamliner (-9) for international. I enjoy it much more than the 777's. Here's hoping we can fly in the next few months!

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks buddy! 777 review is coming up next!

Good review. 👍
I’ve flown in the 787-8 once - with Qatar from Stockholm to Doha. It was enjoyable but I prefer the A350. It just seems a bit more comfortable. 😉

[@Vuelogs]

I would looove to fly on an A350!

[@Midlandstransporthub]

Great video mate! I'm supposed to be doing Vancouver to Toronto on a dreamliner in June but idk if I can now with the virus

[@Vuelogs]

Thanks mate, let’s hope we can get back into the air really soon

[@rontie08]

Which row or seat is best in 787-800 economy?

[@horseplop9]

Gretzkys is a Cool touch also

[@Vuelogs]

I’ll try them out next time!

[@GilbertTravels]

All told looks like a nice flight, now if you had a reclining pax in front and the windows locked dark the whole time, maybe not as fun!

[@Vuelogs]

I seem to have that luck all the time 🙁

@@Vuelogs I know what you mean. Bulkhead/exit rows for the win!
