I don't think we can compare the 2 scenarios. I am not saying that I would be mad for everyone getting the upgrade but I think that whoever purchased a business fare deserves some compensation.

I think even air Canada, who does not want to give back any money to its customers, think also this is not fare and that why they compensate people who payed the fare when this happen. (as some posters reported here).

My experience is quite a few years old. Seats did not strike me as all that different.

As to service, it was on a YYZ-YYZ flight, so it did make a difference.

Now, in my case, I had been trying to upgrade and obviously the upgrade did not come through. So really no reason to complain.

This said, would I have been booked in J, I suppose there would have been a case for being reimbursed the fare difference between J and (some) Y fare.

No IFE although there seemed to be something there for in flight music channels. Didn't think to try it.

That's a seriously short hop

I flown on it once before between LGA and YYZ.

I was in shock.

FA said that the plane is occasionally for politicians and had just been used by U2.

There was a very elderly man on the flight who said he always dreamed of being in biz class and couldn't believe the luck.

I dont recall seeing tables, but I do recall large areas of empty space.
Very nice flight..considering I had booked it on flight pass.

Wouldn't that be a nice surprise!

I've heard of jetz subbing for regular AC flights, esp out of YWG and YYZ. I'm still waiting for my turn to fly one

As far as compensation for J pax, I don't know what to think! On one hand, I think AC owes them something. I mean, they are paying for something extra, and to get the exact same cabin as everyone else would be annoying. On the other hand, if they still get a seperate, dedicated cabin, crew, and meal service (even on this short a flight...)....so they are getting exactly what they payed for, while the rest of the pax are just getting an added bonus.

I'm sure there were some very happy pax on that plane...I bet some will be sad the next time they fly the route and get on a CRJ or E75....expecting the jetz plane

guessaaa

I've been on a couple "Jetz" A320s but they had normal interiors. Only the exterior was painted "Air Canada Jetz".

They convert them back and forth as needed

Yes, if the J class passengers got meal (or snack) service and dedicated crew, I would say they got what they paid for, otherwise, if the soft product experience matched Y, they should get compensated in some way.

Wow... nice interior, doesn't look like the usual beat-up A320 interior... I am not talking about the seats only, but the overall cabin condition.

GJS - yow

You would be even less happy if you were the Tango passenger who got bumped off the flight because the Jetz aircraft has far fewer seats than the normal A320/A319. I've seen this happen, and those with business seats booked were not bumped.

Some pictures courtesy of the Vancouver Canucks. I'm surprised they go through security. I thought it doesn't apply to charters.

First thing I thought when looking at those pics is: Get your feet off the g/d seat back!!

Typical Canuck arrogance.

Thanks for posting the pics. ^

Are they required to dress so respectably when travelling on team business?

No.
Hockey players just have class (unlike football, basketball etc.).
