Thank. Nice report. AC usually does a nice job, I never regret flying them.

Is there a big price difference? Enough to offset the connection in YYZ/YUL? I don't think there's a lot of difference in coach product TATL. AC is fine, not much different than the other *A carriers (although I don't drink in flight, some differences there). To me schedule, a direct flight, more comfortable equipment (avoiding CO 757s when possible) is more important.

Herringbone is a worthy idea, but I didn't much like it. It feels a little tight and to me the big problem is that there is very little at-seat storage. If you have a cubby next to the windows it might have a better feel as you have both a window seat and an aisle seat. I suppose the privacy is nice, but I don't mind having someone right next to me as long as I can come/go as I please in a middle business-class seat.
