Air Canada Economy Class Flight Review from Toronto to Tokyo

Economy Class Flight Review: Air Canada AC 009 from YYZ-NRT

Our Air Canada flight Boeing 777-300 ER was almost full. We booked two seats well ahead of time to avoid sitting next to a stranger. These seats were only two in a row, so we had both the window and aisle seats. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of leg room.

The airline provided a pillow and blanket, but the washrooms were basic and lacked amenities. This reminded me of an EVA Air economy flight going to Manila where there were amenities in the washroom.

The food was served in three waves. Lunch was a Japanese noodle dish with corn and chickpeas, beef rice (or chicken), bread, soy sauce and a dessert. Our mid-flight meal was a tuna wrap and a cookie. The last meal was breakfast: scrambled eggs with potatoes, sausage, and a fruit salad.

I found the food to be good, and appreciated the variety of options. Also, the airline staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience on Air Canada and would fly with them again.

Here are some tips for a long-haul flight. Here are the things we did to make this flight comfortable:

-  We paid for our seats we mentioned above.

- We arrived at the airport early to avoid crowds and explore the lounges.

- We had a light carry-on bag only (we checked one small piece of luggage), which made going through security and the airport easier.

- We used a trip tracking app like Kayak or TripIt to stay organized and avoid missing flights.

- We downloaded movies, TV shows, music, books, etc. to our phones or tablets for entertainment.

- We used a Bluetooth adapter to connect our earbuds to the in-flight entertainment system.

- We used the Air Canada app to keep an eye on our flight and made sure everything was OK.
