My first transatlantic AC flight in Business - Not impressed !

Just took my first transatlantic business flight, and I was not impressed compared with other airlines. It was on a 767-200 seems like a rather old airplane with old seats. Not too good food, and all movies started during the dinner. Was I just on a bad flight ???? Or is it better on other aircraft types ???

The seating on the 767-200 ER's is about 6 years old. Generally speaking, I find they are in good shape (though the pads for the video control on the center armrest do get worn out).

As for the time the movies start, my experience has been that they start very soon after the aircraft is in the air.

Not really, unless you get an aeroplane with video-on-demand. If you are looking for a First Class product, best to look at other carriers until AC relaunches their J product. If you want to travel with AC, try to book CP-operated flights. On-board you will get a video walkman contraption to use, which will get around your concern about the timing of video entertainment.
