This will be a very long day for me as I'll have another 8 hours of journey left upon arrival to Toronto so getting some daylight is quite essential to soften the jetlag. If there's a very high chance that the cabin will be forced dark, I'll look into rebooking on some other metal.
Thank you
On AC20 SIN-YVR earlier this month, which was a 9.10am departure out of Singapore, the business class cabin window shades were centrally dimmed after the first meal service, i.e from about 2-3 hours into the flight, and remained dimmed thoughout most of the flight.
