Flight/Origin-Destination:AC3 YVR->NRT
Date:4/10/11
Cabin:J
Status:SE

Pre departure
Was check in quick and efficient? Yes, even though colleague and myself had 7 massive cases, the SE check in handled it wonderfully.
Did you use priority security (if eligible) and if so, was it quick and efficient? Missed the priority line at YVR International departures. Security was the usual.
Did you use the Maple Leaf lounge and if so, any feedback in regards to service, food and drinks? Yes, International MLL was the usual. No drinkable beer (Molsons doesn't count) but otherwise normal. Did take the staff a little while to pickup dishes that had been left behind by the previous guests in the seats I chose.
Was priority boarding offered (if applicable to your status) and efficient? Yes, walked right up and boarded without issue.
If there was a delay, did the gate agent provide timely updates? N/A

Onboard - J cabin:
Were the crew professional & well groomed? Yes
If there was a delay, were you provided with timely updates? N/A
Was the IFE activated on the ground? Don't know, I use my iPad instead.
Was a pre-departure beverage offered on the ground? Yes
Did crew offer to hang your jacket? Yes
Were newspapers & menus distributed and meal orders taken (Please specify when meal orders were taken - on the ground or in the air)? Papers were distributed, and my order was taken on the ground. (I think I was the only SE on the flight, SD didn't introduce himself to anyone else that I saw)
Did crew offer a hot towel prior to the meal service? Yes
Approximately how long after take off did it take for the first meal service to be completed? (From takeoff to all items collected) Didn't watch the clock, but it was fast enough that the tray wasn't waiting there long after I was done.
How was the quality of all the meals? Beef was a little well done for my liking (but hey, it's on an airliner, I don't expect medium rare ) but the vegitables were a wonderful al-dente, rather than a soggy mess.
Did the cabin crew continiously top up the beverage of your choice throughout the flight? Offered, but I tended to decline.

Post departure
If you have checked baggage, did it arrive within reasonable period of time? Was there waiting beside the belt when I got there, in MNL

Overall experience/any other comments

Overall, the flight was as I would expect. Seat 1K is probably my third favourite on the aircraft, with the big open space beside it. Only downside is the cabin logbook and other crew materials are stored in the overhead bin there.
