I Flew in Air Canada's 777 Business Class!

- The Boeing 777-300ER is the largest plane that Air Canada flies, and they usually operate the company’s busiest international routes out of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal.
However, they’re also a common sight on some busy domestic routes, especially during the summer. After winding up in Toronto back in May last year, I decided to take the long way home and try out their 777 on a proper transcontinental flight!

I am unbelievably hyped for AC to get tail and belly cameras
The 777 has them by default, accessible through the IFE and the cockpit screens.
Fancy seeing you here! Love your videos!
Me too I believe I flew in the 787-9 and there were not cameras sadly
Who would have known you would be here, keep up the good work
Yo, bright films I would’ve never imagined you watch these videos
Ahh good old C-FRAM. I first spotted her overhead a long time ago as a kid, when I first got into aviation. The thought of seeing something going over my house on such a massive journey (presumably YVR/YYZ-LHR) amazed me and I noted the registration. After falling out of love for aviation for the better part of a decade, I found the reg oddly familiar when spotting at LHR back in 2021! It's so strange but I was so happy to see her again.
How did you know what aircraft flew over you as a kid?
They didn’t have flight tracker or Flightradar24 back then, did they?
@@congresssux9766 I suppose that sounds like I'm quite old! Nah it was around 9-10 years ago so FR24 was available, at least on desktop anyway. A long time in terms of my lifespan so far haha
I flew that plane from YVR-YUL last year i was in the very back
I flew this route 2 years ago and it was a lot of fun! I booked this with LH miles and I was really surprised to see open J seats (AC doesn't release a lot of J seats to partner airlines). This was definitely one of my best redemptions - it cost 40k miles return.
Damn that’s a damn good deal for business class, right?
Now they can upgrade, try upgrading before the gate. Not at last minute.
That looked like an excellent flight. Thanks for bringing us along! A 777 GE90 departure is a bucket list item for any avgeek
The Boeing 777-300ER is my favourite Aircraft EVER! I've only flown on Air Canada's 777s From Montreal to Athens in Economy class. And I can't express how much of a GOOD experience it was! Although, I'm EARGERLY waiting for AC to get tail and belly cameras!!!!!
You got to experience a somewhat rare AC-ism on that takeoff -- the thrust increase, rather than reduction, at changeover from TO to CLB thrust, this is an AC thing where CLB-1 is the lowest derate that is ever selected and if CLB-2 is chosen by the FMC when entering the takeoff thrust, the crew overrides it and selects it back to CLB-1. Usually results in about a 6-8% N1 increase at 1000 feet, rather than the opposite. Not sure if any other airlines do this.
Thanks for the detailed explanation! That sounds indeed like a thrust increase than reduction😮
GOL does this with their 737 max- not sure if it is the same procedure tho
4:55 dang that spool up sounds great
It’s perfectly acceptable to break a dinner roll up with your hand. I love Air Canada Signature Class. I have flown it on 777, 787 and A-330s. All excellent.
You should definitely try one of the international legs in AC Signature. The 11 to 15 hour trips is a game changer!
Great video! I used the free texting option on an Air Canada Rouge flight earlier this month! It was great being able to text while I was on my flight!
What a sound! Always worth a 777 Business flight just for that!
Excellent video! Intelligent, to the point and with none of the usual fluffy stuff others sometimes overdo. Thanks!
Amazing video Alex keep up the great work!
Always a great day when Mr. Praglowski posts!
6:03 those engine sounds though 😍
A bit disappointing as the pilot didn't let the engine stabilize before giving it the full works, that's when that GE90 wail is at its best. Instead, he throttled up slowly from idle to takeoff power. Still, that noise on takeoff is totally worth an upgrade to a higher fare class in my book.😊
I often book Premium Economy on long-haul flights and have found myself in Business Class on more than one occasion. I'll take it. 😎
On my last big flight (Vancouver to London) I grabbed an upgrade to Premium Economy when I checked in so I could sleep better. I kept my Economy window seat for the flight back, with excellent views from Greenland to Alberta.
Wow, those big GE engines sounding so tuff and powerfull!
Tough?
Looking at those engines and thinking how they’re the same size as a 737 fuselage is wild!
Ahhh, no. 737 fuselage is bigger.
I absolutely love watching your videos. Keep up the good entertaining work!
Also your channel deserves WAY more attention.
The 777 is one of the best wide body aircraft’s!
Say Alex, ever considered a flight on the AC 777-200LR ?
It is *THE* best.
I found 789 more comfortable for long-haul.
@@eastexotic damn 789 got released. That was one the of the 2040 release planes I saw as a kid, that's crazyyyy
@@Satvik_903 Boeing 789? Dreamliner has been around for over 10 years, I believe. It's a good plane because of the interior comforts, I find.
A stellar video. Thank you.
You gotta love sound of those GE90s switching to climb thrust
The old livery is amazing
How do you guys find cheap prices and upgrades I need some tips for my next flight upcoming.
I flew on C-FRAM from Toronto to Heathrow in 2017 , happy to see her again!
I really appreciated your in depth knowledge about aircrafts! Thank you.
nice seat location and beautiful view over yvr! thanks for sharing.
Nice to see the Brampton Flying Club on departure.
Always good to enjoy ideal flight with reasonable cost for that! 🎉
Considering your seating angle it must feel really strange during acceleration, especially if you're trying to look out the window
This is great for me as I’m going on one soon not domestic however but still a great way to prepare me for what to come In Business class !
Beautiful video mate!
Love your content man ❤️. Keep it up and safe travelling!
4:54 Godly sound on T/O 🔥🔥🔥
Air canada to me is the DMV running an airline.
Nice review of the flight and AC 777 first class cabin. Won a few bids myself and enjoyed the first/business class cabin flying to LHR (London Heathrow) and back to YYZ. Enjoying the lounge prior with all the crazy security lines was a dream last May, dedicated security line, in and through in minutes and then lounge time to relax, have some food and veg prior to the flight. The gate was a war zone after a 90 min delay, people were short on patience so nice to be in the front cabin and relax once on board in the pod. The night flights are great as you can have a late dinner, a drink or two and then sleep for a good 3 hours before breakfast and landing. Oddly enough the pods as the same for the 777 and 787 series, they are good but a bit tired and outdated vs some of the other airlines who are changing things up to provide a bit more privacy and comfort. Meals are always very good for lunch and dinner, breakfast not so much, was very disappointed last flight with breakfast, no eggs or anything like that, took a double take at what they served, think most people passed on the breakfast which was a shame.
I did AC BC to Florida from YUL in Feb. It was amazing!
I was lucky enough to fly AC business class from YVR to FRA in 777 C-FIVR a year ago. My other Signature Class experiences have been on 787s including one where I was waitlisted for an upgrade from premium economy and was presented with it as I was boarding. It only cost about CAD200 for a YYC-LHR flight which was a bargain. I've also flown Signature Class from YUL-YVR in a 737 MAX8 which of course doesn't have the lie flat seat. To be honest I thought that was pretty good too considering it was a five hour daytime flight and had no need to lie flat.
Got to fly on ACA33 to Sydney in J. My gosh, it was heaven. ;)
Thank you for those amazing GE90 sounds!
Wonderful review Alex! Clearly, if you can get an up-grade to Signature Class...Air Canada will provide you with a memorable flight...and agreed getting a window seat is great to watch some beautiful Canadian scenery...thank you!
Wait, are some aircraft still in the frosted leaf livery? I love that design so much, wish they stuck with it.
I really enjoy your content; it's 'Classe Signature'.
The menu could use some improvement compared to other business class menus.
Hi Alex. I enjoy your videos. I have a couple of questions.
How many types do you think you have personally flown on?
Have you ever been in an air incident of any kind? If so please describe it.
Thanks for all the hours of flying enjoyment. I have enjoyed them.
Flying Business mostly for the engine sound. We are definitely the same kind of people😆
On a 777 in August to Frankfurt and back from Paris, economy seats, nice to see how the elite fly;)
Air canada is cool 😊
You can just love your Videos
Can't wait for the next vid!
My favourite seat is second last row window in Business. It is the most private.
Great vids as always! Still looking forward to meeting you on one of my flight, although I don't know what you look like but I will just spot for a tall guy with a camera LOL
If I may, if you are flying in J on one of AC widebody aircraft in future, ask for an Americano instead of the regular coffee, taste much better IMO.
im going on economy class from DXB to YYZ on august 4th. Hopefully is good!!!!
Thanks!
It's strange to see this plane doesn't have the Fins on the wing-tips, like on the LaGuardia.
did the lavatory noise bother u?
I also flew this route a couple months ago, but I was in economy. The flight had turbulence for almost the entire flight! Still, it was fun watching one of my neighbours cover his/her ears (I don’t remember the gender) because of a crying baby on board.
Love this.
It’s a crime that I haven’t seen this video
Fram was also the polar explorer with Nansen as the scientist lead for the expedition in 1893. Just saying :)
It's amazing to see another 777 video, I'd love to see you in CYYT again sometime! I spend basically all of my time there and just recently saw your post on that 767F for rouge, love the videos man, keep up the amazing work!
Post more videos like this
Curious that Air Canadas 777 and 787 keep the green livery while the Airbus go with the new livery , maybe it’s just a new aircraft thing A350 and A320Neos
I miss the pre-merger Canadian Airlines International days!
I wonder what the emergency vehicles (12:01) were for…..your flight?? Just curious!
Nice review! Out of curiosity did you bid high or low?
I flew on C-FNNU from Montreal to Rome on May 19.
I flew that plane from Vancouver to Montreal
Are you planning on doing a Air Transat A321NX video?
I did back in 2020: th-cam.com/video/Gzt03_n0PZ8/w-d-xo.html
Hello bonjour thanks for your vidéos! Just put french substitles y are from Canada where french is an official language!
I’m gonna fly to Canada in a bit and I feel like I should fly to America and go on like a delta flight to Canada…
yo I actually flew on this exact plane (C-FRAM) earlier this year from London to Vancouver
Man I wish I could do this for a living
Same right?
I have flown nonstop YYZ to Calgary, with full transcon in flight service. Not widebody A321.
nice id love to fly on this
Really excellent video from what I understand there are people in the United States who are United Airlines Star Alliance Gold Mileage Plus members when they need to fly Air Canada signature class because they see it better than United Polaris seats. Since both UA and AC have B777-300/ERs the comparison is B777-333/ER AC🇨🇦 > UA B777-322/ER🇺🇲. I am not sure if the smaller B777-233/LR has this seat too or not?
Great Video. Really appreciate the registration info. Have you seen the A220 in Tca livery?
A couple times, haven't flown on it though: th-cam.com/video/1ohBcp7zTfA/w-d-xo.html
Canadian 🎉
I’ve always enjoyed every Signature Class flight I’ve taken on Air Canada 😉👍🏻. Glad you enjoyed it too … especially given your height 😮 😉
6:15 Brampton flying club
Alex, I am fascinated by your accent. I can’t place it, and it’s driving me crazy. Is your accent 100% western Canadian?
Pretty normal Canadian English accent, except in Newfoundland.
Butiful
Bread rolls are meant to be torn, not cut.
1:30 ah yes the 777-333ER
Flew on C-FRAM two weeks ago
Ayyy first one!
Awesome. Here’s a reward!! 🏆
Firsttt, I love your videos, keep it up!
Hi
Let’s go
flight 123!
Like I said before, I usually skip the take off part, but skipping this sound would be criminal
Speaking of Air Canada, I have a TCA flight bag looking for a good home.
4:51
👍👍
How nice not to hear AC bashing for a change. Thanks Alex. This has nothing to do with AC, but any 777 with 10 seats
abreast is torture. Even KLM, yikes.
After flying a few Airbus flights now… I honestly hate the sounds/vibrations of their engines. Give me the Boeing engine roars any day!
45 hour flight? Jeez... lol
I have never had a good experience with Air Canada. They lost my luggage more than 50% of the time. Crews are rude.
ah yes the old livery
It's pretty sad to see AC signature class become one of the worst in North America from the best. They really need to work on upgrade their outdated products and not-so-Canadian services. I mean at least AC needs to be better than our neighbour in the south, not to align with them
