It is pretty decent and AC continues to serve this chia seed pudding as a "second appetizer" on most morning signature flights.

Had the French toast this morning. The Creme Anglaise was pretty nice, I didn't find it too sweet actually.

They didn't load any big bottles of bubbly. Or white rum, apparently. Not that I'm disappointed.

I saw that last week and immediately thought of you! Miniature distribution has been a hassle for the airlines due to production limitations, availability and several substitutions.

Wow and you didn't even serve me a chilled glass

Well today on 571 SFO-YVR they had no rum. And apparently they were given a memo.

I drank prosecco instead.

Wrong memo. Should have read "cow on board, stock rum"

224 YVR-YYC almost had no rum. Catering showed up late. But I would have been fine with prosecco.

And we got Captain Morgan. So I'm happy.

I got the last rum on AC 125 last weekend. They apologized profusely. So I switched back to bubbles later.

Question- since moving to Charlotte I haven't flown Air Canada metal since 2014. I'm looking at some flights from CLT-YYZ-CLT and considering AC vs. AA due to schedules. Booking in J using Amex points as I get 35% back, and I see that meals may be offered on the AC flights. Not a big deal, but I am curious- on AC's website, I read that meals are offered on flights over 2 hours in duration. CLT-YYZ is shows as exactly 2:00 on AC's website, and if I look at what meals are offered for upcoming days, the website simply says "snack" or "breakfast" depending on the time of day. All flights are operated by E175s.

What would a "snack" be on this route? I know on AA it's simply a snack basket, and open bar including hard liquors. Does AC only serve beer and wine in domestic/transborder business class now?

Thanks for any insights

I am not sure about this specific route, but for short flight it’s a cold plate, usually some sort of cheese/cold cut, smoked salmon, or cold wrap/sandwich, etc. Snack basket is offered as well.

Here's an example (I think this was a hummus and bread on EWR-YYZ one late afternoon last year). Spirits should be available.

When I flew YYZ-PHL, which is an 1.5 hr flight, J received a smoked salmon plate.

Does that explain why they now have Bombay gin instead of Tanqueray as part of the new bistro menu?

My tip: I find the chia pudding to taste kind of bland and discovered that adding a bit of salt vastly improved the flavour despite me thinking it is supposed to be a sweet dish.
