I flew this flight on Wednesday on business class and I really enjoyed it only paid $750 and some tokens to upgrade.
May I know how did you add the stopover in YYZ for the inbound flight? I thought the 5000 points stopover is not allowed within NA flights?
I should clarify, I cancelled YVR-YOW and rebooked as YVR-YYZ, making my way to Ottawa separately. No domestic stopover tricks unfortunately.
Looks quite average, but ‘superior’ in terms of North American carriers. Not many choices for domestic, though am curious how WestJet’s service stacks vs AC’s.
It’s good to start at the bottom with your first business class being AC!
It only gets better as you fly other carriers.
You have no idea how relieved I am to have done this before Emirates First in January.
The food in AC Signature biz is almost exactly the same as the food in PE, so while it’s an improvement from the height of the pandemic, it’s still not quite pre-pandemic levels.
Thank you for reviewing this! I’m planning this to be my partner’s first Business class too (and my first Air Canada Business class). I hope it will be a nice experience for a red-eye flight. For the lie-flat seat, did the flight attendant “make the bed” for you, or you did it yourself?
Air Canada never make your bed for sleeping on any flight including transpacific long haul, that’s an ‘Asian airline’ thing. For the red-eye flight as you stated, I assume it will be the overnight from west to the east, eat in the lounge prior to the flight and go straight to bed as soon as take off. You don’t want to miss a second for the 4 hours sleep.
Will be doing this flight EOY. Great to feel like travelling again! The low cracker to cheese ratio was noted.
