Flight/Origin-Destination: AC032 PEK-YYZ
Date: March 30, 2011
Cabin: J
Status: Super Elite

Pre departure
Was check in quick and efficient? Pretty good, first time using PEK as a hub, kind of strange as you go through a single agent responsible for a lot of airlines, who hand writes your boarding pass... but since I was the only one for AC it worked out well. Baggage checked through from origin just fine.

Did you use priority security (if eligible) and if so, was it quick and efficient? Priority security in YYZ for my next connection tried to tell me to go up to the US connection security. "Sir do you mind." I said "For business class?" Yes. There were only about six people in front. I don't know why they were pushing people to go to US connection security instead of Canadian connection security for Canadians. This was the priority line, the main line had about 12 people waiting. There was one aisle closed (LIKE ALWAYS). They were also letting non-J and non-AMEX platinum holders into the priority line. Someone needs a butt kick.

Did you use the Maple Leaf lounge and if so, any feedback in regards to service, food and drinks? -- Yes, I'm in the MLL now. All good. MLL comes in at the upper middle considering worldwide. Can't hold a torch to Thai First Class or Emirates business class, or even some ANA business class lounges, but beats most business class lounges.

Was priority boarding offered (if applicable to your status) and efficient? -- Yes, I priority boarded in PEK very easily. The setup there is better than YYZ and YUL. The two lines are clearly marked on either side of the desk, with corrals that angle away from the desk, which minimizes spillover and encourages people to head to the right spot. Amazing that it is more efficient to board in China than in Canada.

If there was a delay, did the gate agent provide timely updates? -- No delay in boarding.

Onboard - J cabin:
Were the crew professional & well groomed? -- Yes. Good crew.

If there was a delay, were you provided with timely updates? -- Slight delay but this is always the case at PEK, no problem.

Was the IFE activated on the ground? -- N/A

Was a pre-departure beverage offered on the ground? -- Yes.

Did crew offer to hang your jacket? -- Yes.

Were newspapers & menus distributed and meal orders taken (Please specify when meal orders were taken - on the ground or in the air)? -- Meal orders on the ground as well as newspapers, menu.

Did crew offer a hot towel prior to the meal service? -- Yes.

Approximately how long after take off did it take for the first meal service to be completed? (From takeoff to all items collected) -- Maybe an hour and a half to two hours. But, several course meal. It was done with the right timing and everything appropriate. Also food was quite excellent.

How was the quality of all the meals? -- Excellent.

Did the cabin crew continiously top up the beverage of your choice throughout the flight? -- Yes.


Post departure
If you have checked baggage, did it arrive within reasonable period of time? -- Surprisingly fast at YYZ.

Overall experience/any other comments[/QUOTE]

I would love to have fewer announcements. Since everything comes out in triplicate it's annoying. Also the earphones were really amplified so every time someone broke in it was GARRAGGHG rip the earphones off. Put them back on just in time for loud chinese in my ears GARRAGGGH rip them off.

On this trip I flew Thai first and business, and Emirates first. I have to say that the seats on the AC Executive First are much harder and boardlike than any other international first or business I've experienced. I like the adjustability but the comfort is not there compared to these others, especially in flat position and the rounded bottoms of the coffins are uncomfortable on the feet of some taller passengers. Not expecting you to go ripping out all the seats now but feedback for future decisions.

The in charge was perfect. The announcements were fast, short and sweet. She did understand that it was better to get the announcements finished rather than assuming the entire aircraft wanted to listen to her talk. It was refreshing to say the least. Addressed us by name. Mr. lcohen999, you must put your cell away for landing, etc. :D

Excellent service, wish more crews were like this one.

Overall experience/any other comments This is the first time a saw infants in J. A couple, seated in the front J section, each had a baby (both must have been less than a year old) in their arms during take-off and landing. They were crying quite a bit on the ground and during take off, but eventually slept later on in the flight. Made use of the ear plugs provided in the amenity kit.

Was priority boarding offered (if applicable to your status) and efficient? Yes, and Yes.
If there was a delay, did the gate agent provide timely updates? We were informed after boarding that the flight would be diverted to YQR to pick up fuel due to strong headwinds before continuing to YYC. Some PAX (not me) were upset that they weren't informed before boarding, so that they could attempt to make alternate travel arrangements from IAH. But in fairness to the crew, I think that this may have been because the captain was in the operations room until the last minute trying his best to find a direct route.

Overall experience/any other comments
All in all a very bizarre flight what with the diversion, refueling, and irritated PAX. One fellow AC*SE member sitting in J was quite upset that he wasn't informed of the diversion before boarding at IAH, and that he wasn't allowed to disembark in YQR to attempt to find another connecting flight to YVR.

Things got quite heated between the J FA and AC*SE PAX to the point where the FA said, "Sir, I don't have to put up with this crap from you. It serves me just fine if you fly another airline, I don't care." :eek:

To be fair to the FA, the PAX was being very unreasonable, so it's understandable why PAX-FA tensions were high ;) Maybe if the FA was around more often in J, she would have been able to ply the upset PAX with more booze? :D

This flight is frequently delayed due to late aircraft arrival. It is intensely frustrating to leave the MLL to make boarding time only to find no plane at the gate, yet with the departures board and agents in MLL indicating an on-time departure. This usually leads to 20-30 minutes of lost lounge time. In yesterday's case, when I did not have my laptop with me, it meant a half hour of lost productivity without MLL computers. There must be a way to update flight status in a more efficient way.

The water in Y has a strong plastic taste, which may be related to the container it is held in, as international Y service water served right from the Dasani bottle has no such odour. Serving water from large Dasani bottles would be preferred.

Overall experience/any other comments
On my 8:00 a.m. flight YOW-YYZ, I was served breakfast (omelette). I was surprised on flight 777 that the menu provided for a 10:30 departure was identical to the earlier flight, when it was obvious that the meal would not be served until almost noon. I was told by a flight attendant that the cutoff for deciding between breakfast or lunch service was a 10:30 departure. In the end we did not depart until almost 11:30, and meal service started well after noon. I declined to choose a meal, as I had already had one omelette that day (and did not want the other option, pancakes, in the afternoon). Shortly after that, the in-charge came by to see if everything was okay. I mentioned not being interested in an afternoon breakfast. She promptly offered me anything I wanted from the buy-on-board menu. I definitely appreciated this gesture, and selected a chicken wrap. This is the kind of "can-do" service that I have been seeing more and more frequently from Air Canada, and it is most welcome. Kudos to the in-charge on this flight! ^

As we were ready to board, another flight arrived at the above mentioned swing gate, all pax form that flight has to exit using our gate. Those pax were pushing though the pax waiting to board. What a zoo.

I have just completed an fight from PEk to YVR in Y class and I had my eyes open very much. When boarding no crew in Y to assist passengers to their seats. No beverage until meal one hour into the flight. No water offered durning the flight. I counted only 4 crew for all of Yl.

The only problem I have with flights is the amount of items individual are able bring to the plane. It then becomes a problem for the crew for storage.

How does someone start the enforcement of regualtions an prevent all these items from being brought on the aircraft?

Thanks all for the continued feedback.

Overall experience/any other comments

Overall, the flight was as I would expect. Seat 1K is probably my third favourite on the aircraft, with the big open space beside it. Only downside is the cabin logbook and other crew materials are stored in the overhead bin there.
