SIN-NRT operated by NW; NRT-IAH and IAH-YYZ operated by CO. I have some questions to regular CO travellers, particularly those familiar with the abovementioned sectors:

i) Will my bags be checked all the way to YYZ, or will I have to retrieve them in IAH for customs clearance before they are checked in again to YYZ?

The can and will be checked all the way through to YYZ, but you still need to clear them through Customs and recheck them.

ii) NRT-IAH is on a 777. CO’s website says that rows 17-23 are retrofitted with PC power. Can anyone confirm this, as well as if the crew will provide universal adapters?

I do not believe the crew distributes the power adapters. Try searching the Travel Technology forum for info on these units.


iii) How are the meal services on CO? I tend to notice that main course servings on North American airlines are plain embarrassing compared to Asian airlines.

Coach is coach in my opinion. I find CO to be a step above in a lot of catagories, with the exception of seat pitch

iv) I've read generally positive reviews of CO, but wish to know if there is anything I should look out for?

Enjoy your flight!
