I flew Air Canada from the USA to S. Korea (Seoul) and Japan (Tokyo) via YVR multiple times on 767s, 787-8s & 9s, and 777-300s, in both business and premium economy. I also flew United, Korean, Asian, & ANA. The 767’s were pretty worn but the newer planes were great, and I was always impressed with the service and quality. A real treat was flying on a 787-9 that had just been delivered and was on it’s 1st paying passenger flight. The pilot was so proud he invited some of the business passengers up to the flight deck (after landing and waiting for gate clearance). I do think Air Canada is NA’s best airline. Even the Dash-8 experience isn’t too bad.
Starting to really appreciate your trip reviews and commentary. I think you are very fair and not overly critical to airlines unlike some other vloggers. Frequent AC flyer here. A small tip on the AC bistro: the best selection tends to be the hot meal package (which goes for about $15), because it’s basically the extra entrées from Business Class. They even serve them in real plates and cutlery and a mini bottle of red or white wine so it’s basically a mini business class meal package from upfront served in your economy seat :) I can confirm they still offer this even in midst of COVID.
At 11:36 Most beautiful airplane wing in all of commercial aviation! Like the wings of a majestic seagull in flight, but much better because it won't poop on your car... or head!
You said a trip to North Florida, instead of South Florida. 😁 I flew on an Air Canada Dreamliner, in the sky blue livery from Toronto to Bogota in business class. I personally love the Dreamliner more than any other aircraft flying at the moment, but didn't really enjoy Air Canada business class. The lounge was closed at the time, and inflight service was underwhelming.
Yup! If you’re going INTL to US through Canada, you pretty much go straight to US customs only and never touch a Canadian customs. Not sure if this is possible in other airports though
Like # 11 Nice trip report looking forward to more. A question, have you ever gotten in trouble with authorities trying to explain that you're going to that country to keep taveling doing trip reports?
Haha yup, every time I do trips like this I make sure to be 100% honest with my story, and I’ve had times where it did raise flags, and have been sent to secondary search. On this trip for example I explained to the us officer the purpose of my trip, he was quite confused, but let me go pretty quickly.
Nope, those are to present the safety video when the bulkhead row needs to have their individual screens stored for taxi and takeoff, afterwards they work to showcase the flight map
@@ITripReport I’m actually flying to yyz from fll next month do you recommend any seats that have any good window alignment given that these are fairly new aircraft to rouge?
When you have a chance, definitely try out AC’s domestic or transborder Business and PE products. I think you’d enjoy them. For a North American legacy carrier, AC really starts to shine in its soft product offerings in business class and premium economy (compared to the U.S. big 3). In domestic business class, AC this year resumed full 3 course meals on their wide bodies, even for flights sub 3 hours. On narrow bodies and premium economy, they also offer full hot menu service with 2-4 meal selections even for short haul regional routes. Not to mention complimentary lounge access for all business pax. Really sets them apart from the likes of UA and AA which seem to be hell-bent on cost cutting their domestic first and business inflight service.
And you were blown away from the overall product????!!!! OMG ! What would you have said flying the flight AC 930 YUL - MIA in Economy aboard a DC-8, with a complete four course hot meal service in a seat that gave you more than 15% addtional space??? Jesus!
I'm amazed that you rave so much about AC. Having flown them both domestically and international, they are barely adequate. Certainly nothing better. Food is minimal, attendant service is, at best, perfunctory. Admittedly, this is true of most airlines nowadays. But they certainly do not excel in any area.
I flew with Air Canada twice so far. The first time was from Seattle to Toronto and reverse via B767. The experience was decent though the seat was broken during one flight of the return trip. The second time was a round trip from Seattle to HK via B777. It was a nightmare. On one hand, the seats in the economy class were super narrow in terms of both width and pitch. On the other hand, the flight attendant on the flight from HK to Seattle tended to my mom, a Caucasian lady who sat next to me and me frozen inflight meals without warming them up. The rice was cold, frozen and super salty. We asked the flight attendant to warm up the meal boxes for the 3 of us because it was impossible to eat the frozen rice. She replied saying that she could do nothing and we had to eat what she gave us. We were so pissed. I therefore never fly with Air Canada again since 12 years ago.
Why do ask on nearly every video "Can we all agree ..." It is presumptuous and somewhat arrogant. I think it detracts from the important message you want to convey.

I just got back from Costa Rica where I took the AC a220 and 737 Max and oufff....the a220 is SOOO nice (the Max too but not like the 220)!
I would stay away from those 737 Max. Haven't you seen its history?

I trip report if you want to go to an interesting airport I recommend Santa Barbara airport they get 737 and A319 there
from a local in sb this is a very nice and easy airport
I have flown air canada alot I have flown on their Dreamliner before in 2017 and in 2018
I was wondering if 30A had a window - thank you for confirming it does not!
Did your seat on Rouge have good window alignment?
Thanks for the tip for Bypassing customs
Yup! If you’re going INTL to US through Canada, you pretty much go straight to US customs only and never touch a Canadian customs. Not sure if this is possible in other airports though

Great vid! Are you catching any of the inaugural flights on JetBlue Sunday out of MCI? Aircanada is starting their service back to MCI as well June 2!
Thank you I enjoyed the flight with you
your videos are so professional, love the extreme detail put into this, very inspirational sir✅
Great review! Thanks for posting this!!
Try breeze first class (it can be booked for as little as $89 with base fare and seat purchase)
Do you remember if row 44 sests recline ? Thanks
Do you travel with a power bank for your phone?
Very nice video
¿A donde conseguiste ese cubrebocas de 3 hermanos? Buen video.
Fantastic trip report Emil!😸
Amo los vuelos regionales en aviones grandes 😍
Amazing video
How was it sitting so close to the toilets?
When using the power outlets, does ot give power through usb or i have to carry my travel adapter (the one that you connect in any house or place)
I took premium economy from London to Calagary and what you get for all the extra money, its not worth it al all save your money
The plane engine is pretty loud!!
i love ITripreport
Great one Emil
What are those larger screens on those bulkhead walls? Those aren't the screens for all of the bulkhead row seats?
Nope, those are to present the safety video when the bulkhead row needs to have their individual screens stored for taxi and takeoff, afterwards they work to showcase the flight map
Does anyone know the new boarding music thats played on Air Canada 787-9 dreamliner? I've heard it before on a 787 flight from Calgary to Toronto.
I'm travelling from Mexico City to Montreal as an unaccompanied minor in July, any recommendation?
Bem silencioso esse 787-9, o serviço de bordo foi pago Emil? Parabéns pelo vídeo... 👏🏿🤝🏿
Do they give pillow and blanket?
Hello.may I know if seats 44k 44h 44 j have a window,it’s at the end
I must admit I just don’t like the ac 787. If they had made the small changes to seats present on the a330 it would be a way better aircraft.
Not good me and my dad were on an air Canada a321 flight and it was delayed 3hours due to headwinds so we missed our connection in Vancouver
can you fold the armrest fully in the back of the seat?
No I haven't flown Air Canada I want to but I don't know how much the ticket cost to fly on that Airline
Were you on the rouge a320 coming in to yyz?
Yup! And I can confirm, the interiors on those are the exact same to those found on almost all their A321s
@@ITripReport I’m actually flying to yyz from fll next month do you recommend any seats that have any good window alignment given that these are fairly new aircraft to rouge?

I prefer full view, not a view filled with 50% wing at the centre
If only you were a big person. I need to see how a tall big woman would fit in the economy seats. Flying to London from Vancouver, BC.

Flight attendants are unionized and couldn’t give a crap about the passengers
Not good experience I lost my 200000 rs due to air canada mistake . And they don't refund that now...be aware if you book air canada
High standards and Air Canada? What an oxymoron 🤣
