One wonders if AC will return to Taiwan at all, never mind mid next year.
Good report capedreamer, and your travel experience mirrors the one I described on the 'domestic' thread, minus the on-board food service of course. Do you know the rough loads for the back section of your YYZ-FRA flight? Given the lack of lounges, priority service, irrelevance of points accrual etc, might it have made sense to sit in Y with your own row? You look young enough that stretching over 3 economy seats wouldn't inflict much discomfort.
