I didn't see it mentioned in this thread but I understand that these aircraft will be operationally restricted to a maximum altitude of FL290. This is due to the engine issue in which compressor...

January 29 is one example. I became aware of this because a friend booked an itinerary with this flight specifically for the A330's lie-flat seats. He wasn't aware of these non-compliant versions...

I was in 3H/3K a few days ago and the middle seats (3D/3F) appeared to have better recline. Seats 4D/4F had the best recline -- pretty close to lie-flat.

It was CP128 and CP127, same flight number for both segments. I still have paper tickets from that route. When AC took over they made it AC3128 and AC3127. Then they changed it later. I also remember...

This struck a nerve with me and I very much sympathize with the OP.

YYC-YYZ is a frequent route for me and AC's decision to partially (for now?) rouge this route is nauseating. Every...

Hawaii re-rouged

I'm curious as to where the report of $10 compensation originated. Was it from an FTer (which I would consider reliable) or from a media source such as CBC (which I wouldn't).

As it happens, I was...

I thought I was being charitable. 7 months of winter is a more appropriate characterization of SFO than YVR!

(I live in Hawaii, so "winter" has a different meaning to me ;) )
