Avis sur la compagnie aérienne Air Canada

My favourite flight in the entire world is the 22 minute flight from Vancouver to Victoria. You skim over the islands of the Strait of Georgia. Best seat in the house, in my opinion, is 1C. It's the only one with any appreciable legroom, as the door blocks 1A. You will have to pull your feet in for take off and landing as you will be staring straight into the face of the F/A. No time for any meal service on this short flight -- but they do offer a candy before landing.

I tried to buy an upgrade to business in Caracas but was told that I would have to pay $300 cash. $300? IN Caracas? It's faster just to put a bullet in your head than carry that much money around this city! I did finally manage to get into 16C which has the advantage of having extra legroom. The downside is that the seat does not recline, which is a pain in the backside on an overnight flight. Out of Pearson, however, I was able to buy an upgrade for $275 and enjoyed more space and recline. It's a shame that AC uses a 319 on this 5 hour route. It's the only routing in South America that doesn't get a 767, and the overnight flight would be so much more comfortable in a pod!

I've had several opportunities to fly Air Canada's relatively new business product. While it is pleasant to be isolated from fellow passengers, flying at a 45 degree angle does take a little bit of getting used to. The herringbone design is not my favourite as it makes the seat narrower. It is still too short for me (6'4", 193cm) and definitely too narrow to sleep comfortably.

In row 3, seat have virtually no recline, and windows are mis-aligned.

It was horrible. A flight leaving at midnight, cramped like a caddle cart and adealay at the gate. Overall departure 12:28 Arrival 2:00am

Since the extreme makeover of the 321 cabin the seats in Executive Class are no longer like sitting no wooden benches! Very nice layout on this aircraft in Executive. The overnight service was great.

As usual, excellent service on a breakfast flight of 1 hr 19 min. Hot food services are now available in Executive Class on both the E175 and E190!

Great for a short trip. Food and beverage service was good and the seat was acceptable for short haul. Like all air Canada offerings the IFE system is diabolical with veery little choice and a lottery about whether it will work or not.

First time on a CRJ 705 - a little cramped for my liking, and no way was the seat pitch 34 inches. I am generally more comortable on mainline aircraft - A320/737/757. Had a drink and snack services, but of the two flight attendants on board one was for the 10 seat Business Class and the other for the 65 seat Economy Class. The economy class attendant was stressed and tired. 45 minute delay before departure to wait for a new First Officer (first was sick), PTV froze continually or worked very slow for a minutes at a time. If you are taller than 6 feet - definitely fly a bigger aircraft.
