I flew business class to Toronto last week on Air Canada.. the seats are so comfortable and being able to convert them to the most softest beds ever is amazing.. it’s so hard going back to economy after taking business. It’s like sleeping in a hotel 36000 feet above the ground with great food too! I would just fly just to experience this all over again!! 😁
Very nice. I have never been on a flight that was longer than 8 hours, so I am happy to hear that your seat was comfortable for 14 hours! I see many people online saying Air Canada's service sucks, but I have never had any issues. Always great service and good flights.
I've been here with you as a silent and ardent follower since your 'come fly with me vid' of 2021. All your video reviews are quite aptly and commendable. Thank you. 1. For future videos, would you rather consider using a more visible print and/or suitable colors for your comment reels, and possibly keep 'em longer?! I had a hard time following-up on this one. 😅 2. Would be nice to also possibly compare/contrast using another airline operator (and of similar class) you had recently flew on the same route. Thanks again Traverse and do keep 'em videos coming!
Wow Thank you so much for your encouraging words Paul! I am definitely thinking about changing the video format to ensure writings are more easily readable😁 I will definitely do a compare and contrast of the different airline operators once I get some more footages from my trips👍 Thank you again for joining me on this journey!
My wife and I will be cruising out of Dubai in late November. While married to Delta and SkyTeam, I've got Platinum Medallion status for the past 10 years, the AC price for Business class was less than one half that of Delta/AirFrance/KLM to get us to Dubai. Delta's wines, and Air France's foie gras are spectacular, but Oh Canada! Definitely looking forward to Business Class from Atlanta to Toronto, then onto Dubai. Business Class to me is a) a calm cabin up front (invariably with a screaming infant), b) decent food worth eating calmly, c) a flat bed that actually allows for 4-7 hours of decent sleep and d) attentive service when needed. And go try to get an espresso on Delta at their astronomical prices! While our 789 was changed to a 773, I am definitely looking forward to these flights. Delta/AF, I would love to fly with you guys, but you priced yourselves out of my market! Singapore home from New Zealand, but then, what can I say. Especially with a dinner time layover in Singapore.
Going to be taking this flight next week and thank you for this excellent report! Gotta say everything looks great outside of that bibimbap. I'll take your recommendation and ask if any other mains from the previous meal is left!
A couple of years back I found an amazing biz class on Lufthansa, exactly like your other video on their 747. Sadly, that got changed four days before departure to this flight. The upside was, when checked into the Maple Leaf Lounge, they told me I could go to the Signature Suite Lounge, that blew me away...the dining etc., The flight on this plane and service however, did help me "recover" (LOL) from not being able to experience the 747. I was able to experience Lufthansa on the way home however, but not thee 747. Small tip, but you probably have to keep an eye out. If you don't mind 2-3 stops, that international biz class ticket price can drop quite far! I would have never been able to do that normally. :) On the way home, the showers at Frankfurt Lufthansa lounge was a god send.
Hey there, quick question, what is the background music? Sounds really nice. And great flight review - AC signature class is finally returning to its pre COVID service level.
Thank you so much! Unfortunately, no pre-departure drinks yet as of couple days ago 😔 I'm due to fly out again in couple weeks too, so I'll keep you posted 👍
It appears that the nose of the airplane begins the curve to form the nose close to your seat. I wondered if there was any difference room between your seat and the one behind it. I hope this question is clear, it's 4:20 here
It’s a shame every review I’ve seen has been from someone in a window seat. Very curious what it’s like traveling with someone else, in the center section with the divider between the seats. ETA: it sucks. We asked about lowering the vertical partition (on a 787), which was locked in place, and were told it wasn’t allowed anymore because someone once got their finger caught in it. 🙄 On the return flight, we had a different plane, with a horizontally sliding divider that we could adjust. Better, but still not really conducive to conversation.
I will be flying this very aircraft from London to Toronto in business class seat 1A this summer 🙌 i've never flown Air Canada before so i'm looking forward for the experience.......nice upload anyways ☺
It depends on how much was loaded for catering, and how full the cabin is, but usually you can. As you can see, i was able to get more than one desserts 😁
12:13 you should keep in mind the text colour as white on white made it difficult to read so maybe adding a black border in good? Apart from that video is great 👍
Hi Daniel, thanks for the comment! Yeah I've since learned a lot about video editing, and will make sure my commentary are more easily readable on my next upcoming reviews 😀
@@TraverseFlightReview thanks! good to know. Just bought my first business class trip :) and I heard there is a long line for security check line at Pearson airport. Hopefully I don't need to.
@@y.l3472 Congratulations! There is a separate security lane for premium passengers just after the premium check-in area in Aisle 1. You just have to scan your boarding pass to gain access. Happy flying! 🙌🏼
Have flown Tokyo (NRT)/Toronto Business class several times. Service quite good, etc. but always surprised to see some flight attendants that would very clearly qualify for retirement in other countries or other airlines. NRT is also quite inconvenient (far from downtown Tokyo), compared with HND.
Yeah there are definitely FA's that are senior compared to the average ages at Asian/ME carriers. Even more so during the pandemic due to layoffs, etc. But I actually dont mind it as they are often more polished and hospitable from my experiences :)
I've flew few times between Seoul and Vancouver in Business class via Air Canada. Few downsides: no sleepers, foot resting is so narrow, and those airbags seat belt is too big and disturbing while you are sleeping. Other than that, pretty good ^^
@@TraverseFlightReview I have never before seen 'airbag seatbelts' on a plane. Is this something new, or are they something that not a lot of airlines are using yet?
I have Had the Good and the Bad On Air Canada but most these days I tried again and not that bad if I can get there Newer planes but I had very nice Flight Attendents on them. I do Rotate Between West Jet And Air Canada but only Dislike with West Jet on Some they Removed the Screens on Some and have to Watch from a App I was OK with but they should have stayed. I do like on air canada the TV's in the Seats. I have usually got Prefered seats most of the time but Haven't flown First Class on Air Canada like West Jet I have in frount. I think in Summer I will be doing Premium economy on one of there Air Canada flights
The service recently has been pretty good with Air Canada. I know WestJet is a bit cheap with the InFlightEntertainment, but hope I can give their 787 a try soon! Hope your premium economy experience will go smoothly! 🙌🏼
@@TraverseFlightReview traverse a good taxing out and take off song is the shadow of your smile. In instrumental version listen 🎶 on utube just type it in for a flying background music.

This came up in my recommendations, my dad Kyle was one of the FO's for this flight!
Wow thats amazing! Thanks for sharing that!
looked solid, going to have to try it out on my next trip to Seoul!

Nothing says home like a great Canadian hospitality :)
@@TraverseFlightReview Yes! 👍
I miss doing calculus 50
Nice video. Taking the same flight in 3 weeks :) My second International Signature class flight with AC.
Awesome! I heard the Signature Suite opened up just few days ago. Definitely recommend that over the Maple Leaf Lounge 👍 safe flying!
I am flying Calgary - Montreal in a 787 Economy this Saturday very excited
Great job! I love the calm feel of the music and no narration. Travel asmr. :-)
Thats the vibe :)

Nice review, just wondering what was the date when you took this flight
Thanks! It was mid january 🙌🏼
I took one from Montreal to Shanghai, solid hardware and nice service. shortest 14 hours flight I've on. lol. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hey there, quick question, what is the background music? Sounds really nice. And great flight review - AC signature class is finally returning to its pre COVID service level.
Hey Thanks! The songs used are from iMovie stock:
Soulmates - Homay Schmitz
Falls - Keith Kenniff
very nice video, will be flying soon with AC, are pre departure drinks back yet?
Thank you so much! Unfortunately, no pre-departure drinks yet as of couple days ago 😔 I'm due to fly out again in couple weeks too, so I'll keep you posted 👍
Just flew AC yesterday - no pre departure drinks as of yet. However most other services seem to have returned.
@@kiddo817 thanks for your data point. No towels yet either eh?
Well crafted review.
I love the music choice. My daughter will soon be taking this flight to Seoul. 14 hours wow
I hope she enjoys her flight! Its a very well designed seat for longhaul and im sure she will enjoy it :) safe travels!
I flew from Vancouver to Seoul on Air Canada’s b777-300er in business class. It was quite nice
It appears that the nose of the airplane begins the curve to form the nose close to your seat. I wondered if there was any difference room between your seat and the one behind it. I hope this question is clear, it's 4:20 here

If we already ordered one dish, can we also have another dishes?

@@TraverseFlightReview cool, I do feel kinda bad for criticising your first video.
@@redundantopinion705 haha no worries we all have to learn 👍
we flew uk to montreal on a DC8 in 1969 and it was good
may I know does business class has a separate line for security check? is it faster?
Yes there is a separate security lane for premium passengers 👍

I Flew it to Vancouver from Toronto and Baltimore-Washington Int'l Airport MD
Is seat A1 too close to the washroom?
I’ve got the same seat to Seoul.
It should be fine since there are two more lavatories behind the cabin :) safe flights!
@@TraverseFlightReview Ok….thx

Why didn’t you go to the Signature Lounge?
It was closed due to Covid. My two other reviews from Toronto on AC shows the lounges if you want to take a look.
When was your flight?
Hi Eiler, this was mid-January 👍
I've flew few times between Seoul and Vancouver in Business class via Air Canada. Few downsides: no sleepers, foot resting is so narrow, and those airbags seat belt is too big and disturbing while you are sleeping.
Other than that, pretty good ^^
That is very true... the seatbelts are so heavy its pretty uncomfortable 😅
@@TraverseFlightReview I have never before seen 'airbag seatbelts' on a plane. Is this something new, or are they something that not a lot of airlines are using yet?
@@citibear57 haha i think it's those seat belts that are really well-padded and quite thick like the ones on Air Canada Super Diamond seats.
Is there wifi on this flight?
Yes there is! Although, the wifi disconnects for a while when passing through the arctic circle 😛
@@TraverseFlightReview awesome thanks for answering! Supposed to fly in a couple weeks. Was hoping there would be something to pass some of the time.
@@michaeldym31 yeah its pretty good. Should be around 34CAD for the whole flight for the stream pass 👍
I like it 👍
Can you please do your typing bigger as it is hard to see and it is so fast, thank you.
Nice
I've heard nothing but bad news about Air Canada... But I guess the service is actually that good? Hmm... How much was your ticket?
It's declining in quality... The cheapest I could ever get was 3K from YVR or 4K from YYZ

Please ask AC to refund the cancelled flights during COVID. Be aware...
The amenity kit is the same as premium economy 😂
Air Canada what the heck
Noisy background music. Otherwise, a nice video to watch.
Oppa
Nice vid ..but loud music. B-
I will be removing most of the music for my next upcoming reviews haha sorry! 😅
@@TraverseFlightReview traverse a good taxing out and take off song is the shadow of your smile. In instrumental version listen 🎶 on utube just type it in for a flying background music.
@Peter Cole Thanks for your reco! I'll try it out next time
Your menus were too small to read.
Get rid of the music! Otherwise good video
Music is very much less prevalent in my upcoming video on Friday! Please stay tuned in! 🙌🏼
If you wanna spend money on first or business class.Dont fly AC,as compared to other major airlines,AC sucks.
air canada generally sucks but their long haul product, especially in business is pretty good
I agree. Their NorthAmerica and Sun destination flights are really sub-par, even below United I'd say...
