I am Canadian, a 2 million mile flyer with AC, and yes I have had a few bad flights with them, but overall I think they are great
agreed. Also a Canadian here so i might be biased but AC is wonderful and aeroplan is the best point program in north america
Definitely enjoyed my flight, and I can use my star alliance priority with them too. A great way to get across the oceans for sure
I always hear about how Canadians don't have a highly positive view on Air Canada overall but it's crazy the value you can find in the Aeroplan program for pts redemptions. Thanks for the info + video!
Thanks! I agree that AeroPlan is one of the best out there. I just end up using United’s MileagePlus for status reasons. Sounds like most Canadians either love or hate air Canada though for sure
Thank you Patrick! So happy you enjoyed your time at YVR
Always! There’s a reason YVR has won so many awards
The context you provide with your videos is amazing, attention to detail is remarkable
Thanks man! I appreciate it
Great video. I would definitely take Air Canada. The flight looked very enjoyable.
Lovely report with interesting details.well done
Thanks!
HI Patrick,it is so cool that you travel around the world and always bring great content to your subscribers thanks brother.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
I Love The Art AT Vancouver Air Port.Great Video And Info
Totally! It’s a wonderful airport
A minor correction, Cantonese or Mandarin, are spoken languages (dialects) only. The written form is standard Chinese. So it's incorrect to say "written in Cantonese ".
Standard Chinese is basically close to Mandarin. In theory, it is possible to write Cantonese using Chinese characters that are unique, which some Hong Kong tabloid magazines sometimes use. However, in a school setting, students would get scolded by their teachers if they attempted to write Cantonese.
Gotcha. Good to know! Thanks!
I've flown AC once, in the mid-teens, ORD-YYZ-MUC and the return TLV-YYZ-ORD. Heading east, the bartender at Pearson was a legend, but the food on the long haul was the worst I've had in the air - rubber fish. On the return long haul, the French Canadian flight crew were a blast. The rear galley was hangout between meal services and the time flew by. Overall, AC was excellent except for the fish. Even as a single guy, I know microwaving fish seldom ends well.
Enjoying your presentations.
Thanks!
Wow, welcome to Vancouver and Hong Kong! I grew up in both cities and spent a lot of time on AC 7/8 (back when it was a 777) and on CX 888/837... never up front though, maybe sometime I'll have to try.
Incredible! Enjoyed both cities in my time there!
Access to SS is limited to people with a paid business class ticket/flexible rewards business ticket on AC longhaul flights or first class ticket on Emirates so it's actually a lot more strict than the polaris lounge
Hi Patrick, I love your videos. Just a question that I’ve had for a long time. Are you supposed to tip when at an a La carte airport lounge restaurant? Do you tip? Thanks. Look forward to more great videos.
I don’t tip unless I really think they provided an “over the top” experience. Otherwise, it’s all a part of the ticket
welcome to HK Patrick!
Around '96 or '97, I worked for Motorola University and was asked to deliver a Six Sigma presentation (Motorola-invented quality management program) to AC's union managers. They had 4 strong unions who weren't exactly the best of friends. I wonder how all of that turned out, what the current relationships between corporate and union management and between the unions themselves. I've flown AC a number of times, starting in the late '80s when I worked for Amoco Oil (now BP) and had a bunch of work to do in Calgary and Edmonton.
Thought flight time from Vancouver to Singapore shall be longer than to Hong Kong?
21:11, It's similar to my China Eastern flight that I flew last June from Ho Chi Minh to Shanghai on the Airbus A330-300 (B-8972) in the newer cabin, the flight is okay, 3 and a half red eye flight, but it's uncomfortable because the seatlbelt sign is on for the whole flight, but some passengers, including me use the lavatory, even though there is no turbulence.
I travel a lot internationally and while all Canadians, especially those in Western Canada, love to bash Air Canada, I've always been very happy with their staff and equipment. Service is very Canadian -- friendly crew in an understated way, safety first, nice meals in business and clean aircraft. I've been on this route between Vancouver and Hong Kong in AC business and enjoyed it. And whenever we travel to Asia from North America we choose Vancouver Airport over any US airport. Lower stress and more pleasant surroundings.
Awesome. Yea I thought AC was great. The comments had me nervous but it’s like most other North American carriers getting constant mixed reviews
Good review and I must say the food you showed looked quite good and possible better than the low ranked US carriers! Thanks!
I will say that AC wins the North American food trophy at this point. Although I still give United the hard product award
Great review . I'm just amazed that you could sleep for 9 hours on a plane !
Thanks! Ha! It’s all about just being sleep deprived… then you can sleep anywhere!
very enjoyable video. I'm Canadian and choose Air Canada over WestJet for most of my flying as I think they have better service and resources to mitigate technical and other issues that can affect operations. I've been fortunate to be able to fly on AC business class for about the last five years on long haul flights from YYC to various European destinations as well as to Australia last fall. By and large i find AC to be extremely enjoyable. The longest flight I've had on any European airline was a 7hr flight from YUL to VIE on Austrian Airlines and its was excellent, especially the food.
Awesome! Thanks!
Patrick definitely got lucky on AC, he lucked out and got on a flight without the frequent AC issues that make for an unpleasasnt experience for the passenger. The best I can say about AC is that it gets the job done, as in delivering you from A to B in a safe manner....most of the time. Service is mediocre at best. Not necessarily always terrible, but not great either. Given the expensive tickets and frequent delays, Canadians arguably aren't getting their money's worth on AC, especially since AC is inferior service-wise to even the US majors (Delta especially has improved in service over the years). AC certainly falls behind substantially behind some other flag carriers in terms of overall service.
Tbh I’d say the major North American carriers are on a similar level and receive similar complaints. I’d still choose most of them over European carriers at least 🤷♂️ but that’s just me
@@PatrickSheaAviation But US majors is often cheaper than AC. If you factor in the more expensive ticket, more frequent delays and cancellations (AC is on record being worst in those categories), then objectively AC is worse than the US majors.
Hope you can try the WestJet 787 from YYC soon. (YYC has the only actual WestJet operated lounge)
Definitely! Should be soon!
I used to fly Canadian Airlines R/T Vancouver-Beijing I even got to sit in cockpit for hours one trip. What happened to them? Merged into AC?
Dang that’s cool. No more cockpit visits anymore. Now they’ve all become one major airline
merged in 2001
21:47, Nice. I love when airlines on the Dreamliner install window inside the lavatory, which is nice and awesome and I wish all airlines and fleets besides the Dreamliner have window inside the lavatory. I wish they have external camera, even on United and Jetblue, they don't have external camera, which is a little disappointing.
Service looked pretty good. I have heard good and bad things about AC, and maybe you're lucky that day.
Yea definitely mixed reviews on AC in the past but I enjoyed my flight for sure
People get confused AirCanada with the horrible AirCanada Rouge . They think is the same airline company .
Canadians love to bash AC. It's gotten to the point of being childish at this point. AC is my usual airline and out of over 50 flights (all business) last year they were all good with only a few delays. No cancelations or downgrades. Bottom line is that AC is good. Not as good as the middle east airlines but not as expensive either.
couldn't agree more, except being expensive. It uses its monopoly to charge so much for an 6-8 hour flight to Europe where you a get the same price ticket all the way to Qatar or UAE. But AC is not that bad at all!
Yes, some complaints are a little excessive. But the truth is, AC Is not as good as the US majors (American, United, Delta) never mind Emirates, Qatar, JAL, ANA, Singapore Airlines, EVA or Cathay Pacific. They have little incentive for real improvements in onboard service given their almost monopolistic control of Canadian air travel market. Hence the expensive tickets, frequent delays and cancellations. (As for your personal experience, maybe you were just lucky).
And I mean let’s face reality- Unless you count Westjet, AC is the only intercontinental service Canadian airline
Oh child ! It was cheaper to fly to Sydney Australia in business class at Christmas from Vancouver bc than to fly Vancouver to Halifax. Air Canada sucks. Canada sucks. I’m so glad I got my us citizenship
@@stankythecat6735 Classy comment. Glad you moved away.
I would love to go on a trip by plane one day!
Well now you have to compare the Westjet 787 😉 they have a great lounge in Calgary
Totally. Definitely in my plans
The lack of pajamas on ultra long haul flights is perplexing given the cost of business class seats. I did however like the looks I got on Singapore Airlines when I changed into my AA First pajamas. I'm hoping to get in a flight to Hong Kong next year.
Ha bringing AA pjs onto Singapore is hilarious (even if it seems somewhat blasphemous 😂). I always appreciate when airlines give out pjs on flights of this length for sure
Looks pretty decent. I've also only done regionals and narrowbodies on AC so this was interesting to watch. Hawaiian still has my vote as chart topper among North American carriers.
Definitely! Although they’ve got a fairly niche market
Great video Patrick - Having flown them several times across the Pacific - it’s the same old story - most of the “seniors” who bid for these trips just aren’t interested in providing a premium service- they just do what they have to and disappear - zero interest in people I have found
Yea. It sucks, but it’s true. It does make the truly good flight attendants stand out. Had a crew on a UA flight to Singapore last year that I still remember to this day, just because they actually interacted and engaged with passengers
I enjoy flying with Air Canada and recently flew to Singapore with them. I found the staff friendly and provided good service. I also like they are a member of Star Alliance so I've been connected with Singapore Airlines which was wonderful. I also agree the the iFE is excellent with lots of great choices.
Definitely good to have AC as a star alliance alternative to United, being SFO based like me for sure
14 hours!! Heck no 😂 I don’t know how y’all do it. I can’t even keep still on a 5 hour flight from HNL to LAX/SFO. Ain’t no way I’ll survive that long. I’ll take a layover any day .
Lol it definitely makes a difference if your seat can become a bed. When I do these in economy, I’m hurtin getting off
I’m surprised you didn’t try AC flight number 1 for your series!
It’ll happen eventually for sure
The old AC paint scheme is one of my favorites of all time. Sad they had to throw it away for something that looks like it was on the shelf at the livery store next to Delta.
I gotta agree with you. The new one looks older for some reason to me
AirCanada has the most beautiful all the livery design .
I used AC and it was great the FAs took care of me and even help me book another flight to Japan. I cannot complaint
Awesome!
We took this flight seven years ago .
It was great experience in business class .
And I wish I can say the same about Delhi Montreal flight .
My sister in law who flew from Delhi to Montreal this morning had to wait 3 hours at Montreal airport for wheelchair assistance and air hostesses were making fun of her inability to walk .
That is inhuman .
Goodmorning and happy mothers day
US carriers have indeed gone a long way toward improving hard and soft product post-pandemic, whilst most European carriers have not. I fly between the UK and US several times a year and now think United, JetBlue and Delta have a better product than BA, especially in premium class. American hasn't improved as much as United or Delta. I've never flown Air Canada on any flight longer than 2 hours, but their long-haul product looks on par with United and Delta.
I'm flying to Sri Lanka next month on Turkish Airlines - my first trip on TK. How do you think TK compares to other airlines you've flown?
I’ve never actually flown TK in business class. Their economy is in my top 3 for sure. I’m sure it’ll be a great flight!
Post scamdemik
I love AC
9 hours of sleep? Damn! I can’t get that in my bed at home!
Ha! The trick is to be so sleep deprived that you could sleep standing up 🥲🥲
Why is there a Japan Airlines 737 in Vancouver?
Nah it’s a 767
Aside from not liking the AC cabin (but that’s my personal preference) , my experience with AC crew is super hit and miss. They can be wonderful, or the complete opposite and miserable. The way I’ve heard them speak to other passengers has been outrageous and always leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
Do you fly once a year? There are a lot of entitiled passengers out there
Kinda like other North American carriers. People seem to either hate them or totally love them. Everyone’s got their preferences I guess 🤷♂️
@@Brandon-jp5ow I fly weekly between Western Canada and Europe for work.
Oh don’t get me wrong, passengers can be horrendous and deserve to be spoken back to at times. Other times it’s uncalled for. Sure, everyone has bad days. I’ve come across crew who are obviously tired or just not feeling it, but there’s a certain snarky/ impatient attitude that in my experience I only sometimes see with AC.
Eg.
“Excuse me, my headset isn’t working”
“Oh. That’s a shame”
“Is there another?
“No”
“Oh. Well this is going to be a long flight”
“Sure is” (FA walks away).
I offered the person my headset as I had my iPad and personal headphones.
Another.
Everyone was eating their main meal service. Old lady across from me didn’t have anything (Looked over 80). She kept trying to wave down the FAs when they were around. Eventually I pressed my call button and said the lady needed some assistance. The FA looked at her saying “why wouldn’t you press the call button? What do you want?”. The lady motioned to her mouth looking confused. The FA repeated herself in French. The lady obviously didn’t speak either well if at all. The FA said “Well I can’t help you if you don’t speak English or French” at which point another passenger turned around and said “She wasn’t given any food”. The FA says “why wouldn’t you just say that?”.
@@PatrickSheaAviation I don’t hate Air Canada, I just fly them enough to have formed a fairly solid opinion (which others may disagree with, and that’s fine).
Here in Western Canada, we only really have 2 choices and my work generally puts me on AC.
I’m also not Canadian (or American) so I don’t have some engrained bias for any carriers here either.
It’s just like anything though, people’s experiences are all different but all valid at the same time.
USA airlines have very rude stewardesses.
Cutie pie doesn’t drink booze 😃😃😃 I fully agree that European longhaul business class cabins are clearly behind US and Canadian products, only Air France has already phased out the dreaded no aisle access seats but on the other hand has a bad safety reputation for a reason. So, you should stick to North American Airlines for a while.
Good video but it’s not smog here Hong Kong. It’s often weather or low cloud.
Interesting. Although at least on this particular day is was smog. It shows up differently in the aviation weather reports as a visibility restrictor rather than a cloud layer
Need to warn you AC 001 is almost in complete darkness 90 % of the flight....Won't matter if they lock the shades,lol
In Canada, all maples leaf lounge aren’t serving alcohol until after 11am local time. Weird rule…..😢
Yea true. One of the only places in airports that doesn’t feel like some alternative universe 😂
How cool, Patrick! Air Canada is nothing for vegetarians.😁When I read the menu @ 15:17, I was like: OK, Beef, Chicken, Cod, vege... oh, yet another beef dish. I love it!👍
I totally agree with you that American carriers trump Europeans. But, as you said, nothing trumps Asian or Gulf carriers.
Yet again, another great video! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks! Traveling with dietary restrictions is tough. I have a fair amount of them, and I have to go against them when traveling sometimes, but BOY have I suffered the consequences of my own actions at times lol

My two cents when it comes to north American carriers vs European I think it depends. Put North American carriers vs Lufty group, IAG group, TAP or SAS the North American carriers win. In the ring against Air France/KLM, Virgin, Condor (not a typo they a did a good job with their refresh), Turkish, or Finnair the North American carriers have some trouble.
There’s definitely a few exceptions. I have mostly flown Lufthansa Group and IAG, which just seem to be multiple strides behind UA and DL at this point
Also, Hong Kong isn't the world's most smoggy city. Granted, air pollution can get pretty bad there, but there are also many clear days. It depends a lot on the season and which way the wind is blowing. You just happened to land on those days with worse visbility. There are MANY cities around the world with worst air pollution than Hong Kong.
That’s fair. Smog just sucks when you’re arriving with a window seat
Hey Patrick. That was a great review of an airline that will never be described ( or describe itself ) as the Worlds Favorite Airline. My experience is that it's very hit or miss, probably their weakest point is staff and inflight service. I thought you did an admirable job of staying neutral on an airline that is bound to create a lot of comments !!! Love your content.
Every airline has hit or miss staff
Thanks! Seems like all North American carriers have a reputation for being hated by half, and loved by the other half. All in all, not a bad experience, just suffers compared to Asian carriers
@@PatrickSheaAviation I guess what makes it more relevant, is that Canada has in the past had quality airlines, just shows how far we've fallen. Again, thanks for a great neutral review !!
I agree with the Canadians that dislike AC. I had an awful experience on AC from MIA to YUL. Their ground staff don’t know their arses from their elbows.
Yea sounds like some love em and some hate em 🤷♂️
You have the same accent as the SNL The Californians!
Wow the weather there at Hong Kong E
Yea… that smog hits hard
Does Air Canada own Air Transit?
Nah. Not that I’m aware of at least
ermagerd an AC coverage lol so er um square pillows are a German thing eh #whoknew and ew weird smell? 🤣placement of the snack trays on the bulkhead look awkward (right in front of someone's seat ) window in the loo is the best. AC domestic can be atrocious and yes most Canadians can't stand AC. for me it's more of a love-hate thing: love it when they're on point, hate them when they're not, which domestically is typically the trend, i just roll my eyes or fly WestJet (which i'll be doing Wed hehe ; )
Im totally loving their polarizing reviews from their fellow Canadians! Ha!
@@PatrickSheaAviation says he who reminded viewers to be 'nice to each other' bahaha
First 🎉🎉🎉😂😂
In regards to the last bit N American or European, I tend to agree, but I hope Europeans have Asian competition in sight for catching up than N American
Lufthansa Group and Air France cabin upgrades definitely give me hope. Although North America and Europe will probably still be behind the Asian carriers who also keep renovating their already great products
I always thought Rouge was their low cost sub
It is, but for the more vacation destinations. That’s why you see it in places like Cancun and Vegas
As a Canadian I only fly with AC only when I don't have other choice or they are a lot cheaper. Service sucks. Just been voted among the most customer service of all airlines in North America
Those surveys have little relevance
@@Brandon-jp5ow surveys or no surveys services inflight and ground service sucks. Just flew with Air Transat to Lima Haven’t travelled with them a long time, we were surprised how good the services on both level were and much cheaper .
Yea… sounds like people either love em or hate em. Seems like customer service is at the crux of most complaints
I don’t mind Air Canada but it is inconsistent. Some days you have exceptional service, some days you’ll get uncoordinated/rushed service. Other days, it’s really uneventful. Some of my worst have been Long Haul though. At its worst, I’ve seen senior flight attendants on AC act like a) the customer is an inconvenience b) there’s room to just slack off and pretend no one sees how unprofessional they are. Overall though I like Air Canada more than ever and some of the best service has been domestic/transborder with AC.
Signature Class is great. Food is generally good though the breakfast can be really rough - for many years the infamous parsley omelette seems to always stay as a menu item and though can be good sometimes, it’s the only savoury option (usually the other being sweet pancakes or waffles) like you said, the entertainment and relative privacy of the pod is a win for me!
Anyways look forward to seeing more of your reports!
Thanks! Great notes. Sounds similar to most major carriers in North America and Europe. Business classes can be made or broken by the crew you have on the flight. Definitely has been a few flights where it genuinely felt like the FAs didn’t want half the pax on board 🤷♂️
That’s my home airport I am a Canadian
I've only flown Air Canada once. YVR/LAX. This was in 2006. Everything was shoddy...airport, equipment and crew. And after traveling thru Japan, Korea, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan...only got sick from food consumed in the YVR airport. Thought I may have to delay flight...gastric distress. There was one bright moment. US CBP pre clearance.
Your experience dispelled any residual negative thoughts.
18 years ago to present……
Sounds like they’ve made quite a few improvements since then. That’s a wild story. At least it’s a good experience at YVR now
What a strange reading pocket placement...I wonder what you actually put there...
Yea… kinda weird. I didn’t end up using it
An important part of Air Canada's history that you missed is that Canada used to have two major international airlines being, Air Canada and Canadian Airlines International (formed in 1987 as a merger between Pacific Western Airlines and Canadian Pacific Airlines). In 2000, Canadian Airlines International merged into Air Canada which turned Canada's major airline landscape into a monopoly. Some of Air Canada's current international routes and even flight numbers (the single and double digit ones) used to be that of Canadian Airlines.
Thanks for adding that! Good stuff
Air canada is not the same as it used to be. Until the 1990’s, even in economy you got white glove treatment even on shorter flights. Those days are gone. Except for tiny snacks and free non. Alcoholic drinks cost. Meals also aren’t free as they used to be.
The one thing that hasn’t changed is the crew is always helpful, friendly and professional.
Dang what a time to fly for sure
9.550
Our son could well have been in the cockpit with three other pilots.
Awesome!
Air Canada gets a bad rap but they're not so bad
Definitely. Kinda the same as US carriers. They don’t compare to the Middle East and East Asian carriers, but it’s definitely a good experience
Hi Patrick, just a quick note here. Mexico is in the American continent; therefore, it’s also an American carrier.
Not a United States carrier, which is what Patrick was referring to.
South American airlines should also be included by your reasoning.
True. I did compare it to Aeromexico in the video, although I’ve only flown Aeromexico’s 787 once
Do WestJet next
On their 787-9 from Calgary to Tokyo
Definitely planning a WestJet adventure soon!
@@PatrickSheaAviation I worked for them for 13 years. You’ll be happy with them
I would not fly on a B787 dreamliner for the simple reason that the cabin crew are able to blank out the windows and the view whenever they feel like it as you, yourself discovered. I'm sorry, I've paid a lot of money for the flight and I want to be able to see out when I want not when the cabin crew want me to. It's Airbus for me whether it be an A330, A380 or the A350 which is far superior to the 787.
Totally sucks having the windows locked. Even the A350 is putting that on some aircraft now
As far as the seatbelt sign is concerned, I think it has to do with the litigious nature of North Americans. Everyone tends to be sue happy in order to get a quick payday.
Canada doesn't have an issue with frivolous lawsuits, which are much more common stateside compared to Canada. The big difference is that Canadian law requires the loser to pay the victor's legal fees in addition to the damages, whereas this isn't the case in the US.
Definitely possible, especially American carriers. Just a funny comparison I’ve realized flying carriers of different regions
Don’t include Canadians in “ litigious “ that’s an American national sport not for us .
Now we know why the keep telling us to fasten seat belts every 30 minutes
The smog in hk… terrible
Yea… kinda tough not to see much on the whole arrival
Ac on long haul is actually horrendous, their legroom especially on the 787 is horrible. Emirates is a much better airline.
Interesting. Never flown their 787s in economy. I will say that almost every airline looks iffy when compared to Asian carriers
@@PatrickSheaAviation yeah
The Canadians that complain about Air Canada probably have not travelled International Business Class. Domestic, they are like any other North American airline. If I'm flying overseas, I always choose AC Business. However, since I moved to Calgary from Toronto, we do not have a Signature Lounge at this airport - YET!! Hoping it will come soon. Thanks for the great review!!
Hating Air Canada is a national pastime. Sadly, it's mainly a Western attitude and reflects (1) I hate Ottawa and Trudeau (which has nothing to do with the airline) and (2) nostalgia for Wardair and CP Air (which I understand but they are history). AC compares very well with its international competition to Europe. It's been awhile (too long) since I've flown to Asia although my last trip on Air New Zealand to Australia was excellent.
Air Canada Union workers
North American flights are still the worst. No comparison to European flights and eons behind Middle Eastern airlines like Emirates and Etihad.
How so? European airlines do BOB and you don’t even get a proper business class within Europe. But okay
Tbh at this moment, I’d choose most North American carriers over European carriers with a couple exceptions. Asian carriers are ahead of both of them, but to say something like Lufthansa is better than Air Canada or United is an interesting take
Agreed. USA airlines are terrible.
I will never fly Air Canada!
Never mind the AC evangelists, Canadian airlines never score well compared to international airlines.
It mean it wasn’t terrible. I’d say it’s on par with the other North American and European carriers for sure
Never liked AC… your video proves one of the reasons why… the seat seems to be filthy and not well kept.
Yea… sounds like people either love them or hate them 🤷♂️
Air Canada within Canada serves a lot of places not served by others. Canadian aviation is a closed market, by law outside carriers cannot offer local service, so almost no competition.
This means expensive and on my last flights the aircrafts were not clean, leaky a/c and restrooms toilet seat gross. Since I only fly economy I rather other airlines, in Canada Porter is great, some prefer Westjet and Transat. All Canadian airlines receive government subsidies and their international routes are better this excludes Can to US and Can to Mex that are treated like local flights, you don't even get a snack in economy. Advantage American's benefit from CAD dollar is about 25% less than USD.
About Canadian airports, our PET Montreal is an embarrassment, Vancouver and Toronto are both many times better. All airport here have been receiving substantial airport improvement fees, charged to passengers but I can't understand where the money is going at YUL.
big nose big nose
hey man that's not nice
bite me
Not impressed with this video as I travel by Emirates
Yea… emirates has a way of setting the bar a bit higher than others
Airlines are not learning to cook meat better. You are getting old. Our taste buds get fried with age.
Ha… I don’t know if that’s the whole story. I’m always impressed when airlines can get the meat to fall right off the bone
looks dirty like canada
Why would anyone choose ac aircrap. West jet is a superior airline!.,
Air canada is the worst airline I would travel with . Their customer service stinks even for business class.
