*FAQ:
Q: On the 787-9 (789), which seats in J are missing windows?
A: Rows 5 and 8 on both port and starboard sides have only one window, instead of two on all other port/starboard J seats.
Q: On the 787-8 (788), which seats in J are missing windows?
A: Only row 5 port and starboard sides have zero windows.
Q: Does the middle J seats' middle divider come down?
A: No, on the 788 and 789 the middle divider does not come down and is fixed in place. In fact, all Dream Cabin (788, 789, 77L, 77W) middle dividers are fixed and do not come down.

Personally, I would take the middle seats if travelling with someone else. Even though there is a divider, you both face the same direction which is why I don't like them for flying alone. The 777 classic pods have your heads close together but facing the opposite direction. Just my opinion .

I wonder if we will ever see some 9's replacing the 330's on the YUL routes.

The cherry on the sundae: I see YYC getting 787 love before YUL. BA & RJ are giving YUL love. Apparently AC has forgotten its roots and now hates YUL.

330s will be the last ones to go and now that there isn't any 767 ML traffic out of YUL (save for a seasonal YUL-CDG add on), but guess is it won't be for a while. Possibly when more are in the fleet, some if the 777s could get replaced by a 787-9.

+1 .. i do this route 5-6 times a yr. between crappy old AC 767's and TK's 2x3x2 J class, the options are great. at least TK has better food, and dare I say, eye candy.

I've stopped flying AC TPAC when my project budget stipulates I book Y. It is not worth the risk of being stuck on the HD or the 787.
Almost at MarcoPolo Diamond, and although I honestly prefer AC (I'm in the minority, I know), I just don't fit in the new Y cabins.

Oh yeah. We scrapped that and made malls instead.
I do see YUL as having a potentially more sensitive market price-wise, so I guess I should look at the future in HD and less time dreaming. Pun absolutely intended.

Not sure if WS will fly to LGW from YYC or YYZ (or both) . . . Cheapo fares to London on the horizon. WS better be willing to bleed a little before things heal. They're going to get crushed IMO
