    Is Air Canada still awful? Today i'm flying Air Canada in a surprise review onboard their Boeing 787 Dreamliner. After my last awful experience, it's time to find out how they perform with their reintroduced Signature Business Class product. I'll be departing from their flagship Toronto YYZ airport and, as i'm now allowed to enter Canada i'll be reviewing their ground experience, lounges all whilst maintaining a low profile. The aim today is to not have the same issues as last time (see previous review) or indeed the curated PR flight I was presented with back in June.
    My trip report today will encompass all elements of the onboard experience, food service, bedding, a seat tour and in this instance how 'friendly' the crew are. As usual i'm totally honest and open about my travel, so you'll see this though the lense of an ordinary passenger rather than certain TH-camr's who give an unrealistic advertorial walk through of their flights..
    As always let me know what you think in the comments below, do you have a recent experience with Air Canada Business Class? How does this change your view on my previous awful experience?

    Hey guys 😀 so as always I value your feedback and take onboard what you say seriously. I’ve amended the title of this video to reflect the consensus of what’s been commented here. I’m not chasing a click bait title, my rational was to put the viewer in my position going into this flight (I.e disappointed by my last experience / not wanting a PR fan fair). I hope you understand but most of all thanks for watching and your continued support of the channel. Much love 🙏🏼

    I’m sure they knew you are coming since the moment you booked a ticket. I was a flight attendant for 9 years and we always knew about “special passengers”, history of why they are special, what to expect from them, given clear instructions how to react and how to interact with them it’s all being told firstly to purser and then passed on by purser to the rest of the crew during the pre flight briefing.

      No passenger should have to be considered 'special' enough in order to be afforded common-sense courtesy by the crew/staff. It is also known as equal treatment under the law.

    • @HRHolm-bi6zu
      @HRHolm-bi6zu ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Hear that, everyone? So all one has to do to get courteous treatment on an airline is 1) start your own YT channel 2) have it specialize in travel review videos, and 3) once enough viewers/followers accumulate to make you renowned and/or notorious for your reviews, post a really trashing summary of an airline trip, and they then put you on a flag list to "know when you're coming" again, so they can treat you like a king and then they'll get really fabulous reviews! Good to know how the system works----and really, shouldn't.

I often visit family in the Caribbean and take Air Canada: the planes, the crew and service are usually not good.

    I have taken several Air Canada flights in first/business class and they have never let me down during inflight service. Once had a very rude customer service agent in YYZ in the airport, but as far as the flight...it was great. Beverage service was excelent and never waited for a refill. Appears AC serves a standard breakfast in first class which I have had several times and it is really good and unlimited hot bread and butter. My last few flights were not full in first class, so the FA offered me extra food. I was not super hungry but the FA explained that the food not used is tossed in the trash. So I asked why?? Basically the food is 90% cooked within the previous 24 hrs and frozen. Flights are stocked with food for a full cabin, so if not sold out there will be extra food. Once the FA cooks/reheats the food, they must serve it to passengers or it is tossed since it canot be salavaged or used given flight time etc. Needless to say, waste not, want not I had a second breakfast!!!!

    I know you do not want to bash the airline, but I just felt this was verging on a sycophantic review. Not very real. Please may I ask, did they write to you and apologise for the previous failures, offer you any compensation, etc.? I think it would be good to be "open-book" if that was the case? Is that what led to this somewhat fawning review? I am sure you must have developed a sense of quality with your good fortune of being able to fly regularly at a high standard. Surely this does not measure up to your other high-end experiences? That food looked grey and not at all appetising on camera.
    I like that you surprised them, but I strongly suspect that they have "markers" on their customer database and would have been acutely aware of your return (and previous negative experience) and therefore the need to serve you with due care and attention.
    You should also look up "eloquently", "eloquently presented" does not make sense in English. Eloquently is to do with language and the mastery of it, not food presentation.
    I am sorry for being questioning on this post, but I do generally enjoy your content.

And then unsubscribing because of it and accusing you of clickbait? What a ridiculous bunch of twats! I will admit - the question mark was probably the best choice, but I certainly couldn't have cared less either way.

    I have a sure fire solution to handling speaker conversations/calls on a flight. I join in on the conversation! Turn around and tell them you couldn’t help but hear and …. “I have to share what happened to me…” or “that is so clever of you! Have to remember that one!” Etc. They usually terminate the call right away. Only one person ever pushed back, and my response was that if he did not want to share the conversation, he should not have taken the call in public. Everyone around either snickered or chuckled. Either way, it solved the problem.
