Thanks
I did it in J a few years back and they haven't updated the hard product on the 772 since then. Seats are very old "First Class" seats with very generous pitch, but do not lie flat and have the most uncomfortable leg rest I've experienced on any airline. No power on the seats for laptops, terrible video system.

Other than the seat, the service was fine, food was not bad. Lounge was indeed the shared Skyteam lounge in TBIT. They use a remote parking stand, so bus service to the plane packed in tight with the economy pax. I believe at CAN it gets a real gate with jetbridge.

Personally I'd avoid CZ if there are other decent choices until they put the A380 on this route (if it ever happens). KE and even CI are better Skyteam alternatives for now.
