At T-40, I headed downstairs and to the gate.





Los Angeles to Vancouver
Air Canada AC 555
A320

Despite my cheap Basic Economy fare, my United 1K status got my an auto-assigned exit row seat and priority Zone 2 boarding. Even better as I was the only one in my row.













Not bad for $103.







Air Canada's BOB menu, where the picture looked way better than real life.



























Excellent service from a friendly cabin crew. Since there was absolutely nothing worth eating at the Maple Leaf Lounge, I decided to see how close Air Canada's BOB would come to the pic.



Not so much, although the Pellegrino was just like the pic. LOL.



Yikes...



Uh no. Not even close.













I had low expectations today but was pleasantly surprised by Air Canada. Excellent service and an entire row to myself goes a long way to surviving Economy. Plus, Gogo worked reasonably well.
