    I sat in the same exact seat as you did. Same row, window seat, premium economy.

    Hi WA, great review. A tip next time if going through YYZ. Traveling this class, you can go directly to AC Check In 1, skipping all the fun of queueing and messing around!
    Happy Travels. JJ30

    The premium is funny as if the person in front reclines you literally have to recline also otherwise there alarmingly close to you. It creates a dominoes of reclining LOL. Pisses some people off but if you pay that much money for a flight you can do what you want.

    Thank you for a very entertaining and informative video. You really showed all aspects of the cabin and service very well. Funny, I worked for airlines for 27 years, now retired. I haven't even been to the airport for over 10 years. I am thinking of making a trip soon, probably to Europe, and have been thinking of Air Canada Premium Economy. Now that I have seen your video, I think that paying the extra would well be worth it. Thanks, Carl

    Well made and informative video, good job ,, I'm with Air Canada again to Scotland this coming August. Vancouver / Frankfurt / Glasgow round trip, I flew to Glasgow last September with Air Canada in premium economy.
    Without question good value for your money, the service was excellent as was the food and all the other perks that come with flying premium economy. What a difference it makes on a ten hour flight with the bigger and more comfortable seats. Of course the cost is quite a bit higher but it's certainly a case of " you get what you pay for ". I'm spoiled now, I'll never travel in regular economy again ,, good job Air Canada.

      Before, I used to go from Montreal to Miami, or New York, or Chicago, or Fort Worth to take the plane to Peru. Now the U.S. airports are a Mad Max jungle where something always happen in the plane.

    • @yolamontalvan9502
      @yolamontalvan9502 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      And when the U.S. tried to punish Peru by not allowing Peruvian airlines to land in the USA, Peru also punished U.S. by forbidding U.S. airlines to land in Peru for five years in the 80’s. At that time I had to take a plane to Miami, then to Jamaica where I would take a Peruvian airlines to go to Lima Peru. To come back to Canada it was the same ordeal. All this because the U.S. had forbidden Peru to buy Russian airplanes. Now Peru is the only country which has a very strong commercial relations with the U.S.A., Russia, and China, and of course Canada.

    On a transpacific crossing.

I don’t regret the choice I made to take the premium economy ... but I was disappointed with the food.

    "Premium Economy" is what Economy was, if not, worse, 20 years ago. You've. all been had people. I can tell you, in the 80's on a rapid air flight from Toronto to Montreal on a B747 in economy....you would get a hot meal (that would even put today's "premium economy" International meals to shame), and the flight attendants would come around for second rounds of coffee.
