thanks for the AC trip report. Love the scenery shots through the window!
On these overnight flights, the only service I am seeking is the Express meal served quickly, and then quiet until it is time for coffee and a muffin. the J pod, while becoming dated and scruffy, is still my favorite for getting some rest. |
Thank You...
A. For the trip report!
B. A good reminder as to why I WON'T fly AC J Class... 1. Weak soft product (menu seemed limited, & I want the option of a FULL breakfast on a flight like this) 2. Weak hard product (don't like the coffin setup at all) 3. Other than that, it's all good (-; |

Loved the "We apologize should your preferred choices not be available today" underneath the Continental Breakfast section. :D
And the Grapes pic. Unfortunately, we don't see much of him on the NBC/NBCS feeds. |

A muffin and croissants for breakfast, what is this, Y? I like the coffin pods :) However, given what I've seen/heard of the new CX/AA/US J seats, those are the gold standard for J. Thanks for the report OP. |
Nice photo report!^
Personally, all I need on a short TATL flight is a flat bed with aisle access, maybe a quick dinner along with a few glasses of wine. The AC J product is nothing too exciting if youīve experienced it a few times, but itīs still among the better TATL J products IMO.

Honest question: What does UA serve in J for breakfast on comparable routes such as JFK-LHR? PRIOR TO ARRIVAL: Herbed Scrambled Eggs Potato gratin and turkey sausage or Chilled Deli Selection Swiss cheese, Black Forest ham, Genoa Salami and turkey or Cereal and Banana served with milk And please, AC amongst the best J TATL products??? Thanks for the laugh. |

1) a fully flat bed on all airplanes 2) easy aisle access for all pax When comparing the J product of the major TATL airlines (AC, UA, US, LH, LX, OS, SN, LO, KL, AF, AZ, DL, AA, BA, IB, AB, EI) AC easily makes it into the top 25% percentile. On TPAC routes AC doesnīt score nearly as well, but on TATL flights itīs still a pretty good option. |

Out of your list, IME AC is beat by UA, LX, OS, LO, AZ, TK, SU - from ones I've flown in the last 5 years - I'll give you LH, US and KL (although dont they have flat beds now?) No experience with SN, AF, AA, BA, IB, AB, EI so I cant comment. Hardly 25% percentile... Maybe middle of the pack, maybe.... |
I don't think some on here realize how short the flight from YOW-LHR is, let alone know where YOW is!
Yes, US you are far superior. Yes, your army could beat other armies. Yes, a US airline was named best in....Oh, what was that? AC has been named best NA airline? (which I admit isn't saying a whole lot as it isn't hard to beat any US based airline). I, myself, am more of a Porter, LH, KLM, BA fan. Great report by the way. Def liked the video. Are you a BOS fan, hence the hockey game pic? |

Dont forget about the fruit and yogurt! Hahaha. Very coach indeed. Maybe there was a hot offering we didint See? At least I am hoping, but then again it is a short flight
|
When did AC reduce its TATL breakfast service to that weak continental offering in J? I did quite a few YYZ-LHR and YUL-LHR flights in J over the years, most recently in July 2012, and I thought there was still a hot breakfast? Though I always slept as long as possible and ate in the Arrivals lounge, so I guess I wouldn't really know, but I'd like to at least know I had the option of a hot breakfast :)
