Thumbs up AC 787-900 - Win!

First time on the new AC 789, YYZ-YVR (Economy).

After unpleasant experiences on the Rouge 319 and 777 slave ship, this plane was a very pleasant surprise! The Captain mentioned that the plane was 3 weeks old, and more were on the way.

31" seat pitch is comparable with the 321 and after 5 hours, the seat still felt quite comfortable. The modern IFE is sweet and there has already been plenty written about the improved air quality.

What struck me in particular was how bright and airy the plane feels, thanks to the larger windows and specialized LED cabin lighting system. Also, the tint-able windows are cool.

For those interested in the more technical details, check out the wing shape and flaperon control.
