  • Flight Review of Air Canada B777-300ER Business Class from Toronto to Dubai in March 2024 - Flight: 401
    I'm back for another Air Canada trip report, this time I'm flying the Toronto to Dubai sector again but in Business Class. I did this route with Air Canada almost a year ago to the day!
    This was my first time in signature class, Air Canada's name for business class since they updated to the current seats.
    I would highly recommend my bulkhead seat in the second business class section as it has extra legroom and a tremendous view of the massive and beautiful GE90 engine.
    Enjoy my trip onboard AC56 operated by C-FIUW a 15-year old Boeing B777-300ER one of my favourite airplanes.

    That catering does seem to be somewhat minimal although, as you say, passengers do have the opportunity to dine in the lounge before the flight. However, considering the length of the flight - it is a flight to Dubai not London - passengers would not really need to go to sleep that soon after take off in order to get a full 8 hours of sleep. I found the breakfast odd. Chick peas and Kale for breakfast to accompany an omelette? What tastes are they catering to? I would have preferred tomatoes, mushrooms and hash browns with my omelette.

      For late evening departures, AC does an express meal service, so folks get to rest sooner. Hence, a one-tray deal you got.

    Well presented flight report! Suite looked comfy. Food was disappointing... just as it is on American carriers in their business class. It seems that the Asian and Gulf carriers have the best offerings. Keep your posts coming!

    3:50 Unfortunately Vancouver got the short end of the stick and Emirates didn't come here (not sure why). Also, Air Canada's YVR-DXB only operates from October-March, so for the other six months there are only non-direct options.

    • @zwindowseat
      @zwindowseat  5 місяців тому

      The Canada-UAE air service agreement allows 21 flights per week for each country. On the UAE side Emirates uses 14 (daily flights to YYZ & YUL) and Etihad the remaining 7 (daily to YYZ). Unless that’s increased, no Emirates in YVR unfortunately.

    • @user-pu3cf9pd2m

      @@zwindowseat Yup. It's just before entering Seattle, Emirates always wanted Vancouver. Even though they had this agreement expansion, I'm not sure if they were allowed to expand to Vancouver, and maybe that's why they chose Montreal as Air Canada still wants its monopoly here. I know many people who make the drive down to Seattle to hop on a direct flight.
      I'd also be wondering if they were to come here, if they'd operate the A380 or the 777 as YVR is capable but as of now, there are no A380's that fly here currently.

    Air Canada’s Business Class food service is mediocre at best. There is more than enough time to serve individual courses but they dump it all at once. Then the crew disappears. In our last flight from Tokyo they ran out of business class diners and breakfasts and all for $8,000!
    The Signature lounge is the only thing Air Canada does well.

    Why on a 13 hour flight is everything served all at once? Lazy flight crew?

    • @zwindowseat
      @zwindowseat  5 місяців тому +1

      I was surprised as well. But since it was almost midnight local time maybe they were trying to get through service quickly so passengers can sleep.
