Wow, I got to fly in seat 1K from London to Toronto onboard Air Canada’s new 787-9. Excellent service and crew! The IFE, menu selection, wine selection, ride quality, and comfort were all great. I did notice an improvement in air quality on the flight, but it was certainly not near as quite as an A380. My seat/bed was a little narrow at the shoulders and I am only 5’11” and 180lbs. Also, there were a few glitches in various things: the IFE screen would randomly turn back on in the night, the toilet in the lav seemed to flush even if you were just washing your hands, and we took a little delay as door 1 would not disarm the slide. A ghost in the machine perhaps, but then again I do work for Airbus so I am a little picky about the details.
Again, nice job Air Canada!
