TPAC Food downgrade is irritating. Miniature Croissants? Learn from DeltaOne pls!
Seriously, AC you are letting us down on your TPAC routes food-wise. Delta One is kicking your ... on Food quality, choice and quantity.
Who decided to make your breakfast croissants 1/4 the size of last year? Seriously? After a week or three of food in Asia, I want something of western taste and your croissants are actually decent (When hot)
Anyone notice Maple syrup has disappeared from Maple leaf lounges for oatmeal consumers? Really? Like how many loonies are you saving compared to IRROPs costs?
Instant noodle snack midflight in J class are no better than economy. What is served is an insult to your customer.
PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AC!!! Surprise us with some more selection and rotation of your menu choices...
Yes, I just finished my first TPAC Delta flight from Detroit to HKG because it was $2.5k cheaper to do the stopover from YYZ than to go direct on AC J. And the inconvenience doesn't seem so bad all of a sudden.

They've been slipping for awhile, a long while sadly. Poor service, bad customer reviews and an MLL that just keeps getting left behind.
I was on a YVR-ICN flight where the FA served vodka out of a mickey. It was the type that a homeless man would use.

You've mentioned this numerous times, but international J always has liquor served out of a mickey.

They even served it in the bowl this time instead of being lazy!
The dim sums were definitely not as good though, but I guess the HKG community in YUL has spoiled us over the years...

I had a chuckle on the OP as I have been observing the same for the past year.
Whether wine or entree, there is much to improve, not that the airline is listening. And what a laugh I had on the airfare. Depending on the day of the week and the seat sale, most of the major (quality) airlines do much better than AC for the Canadian TPAC routes.

...........I guess using the term 'Mickey' should really accelerate my thinking about going from Landed Immigrant to Citizen.
My daughters are proud Canadians (dual citizens really) and I will be back for another 2 year stint in Vancouver soon.
But no. No AC international J does NOT serve Alberta Pure out of a mickey/fifth. Alberta Pure is not on the AC list. Absolutely not. Not in a little bottle, not in a mickey, not in a magnum. NO

Totally agree on this. 5 years ago I was willing to pay a premium to fly AC on TPAC. Now AC only gets my business on TPAC if it has rock bottom fares. Now with the devaluation of Altitude/Aeroplan, as well as the declining service, I have less and less reasons to fly AC on TPAC routes.

Domestic/tb it is the little tiny bottles made for airlines.
On international, it is the larger sized free pour bottles that are shaped like a large "Mickey", and typically hard plastic clear shell material with screw top (no cork). Imagine the typical stainless steel metal flasks in the inside pocket of your trenchcoat, stumbling home as a salaryman... well these are simply larger in size and non-metal.
