Air Canada Signature Class A330 Business Class Review

[@Nuekchan]

Thanks for sharing this trip.

[@clausstimpfig3803]

That inflight service is a disgrace. NO CHAMPAGNE only sparkling wine. Meal looks like dogfood. NO INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS CABIN. (well anymore...) Cant believe that traumatic event. Thnx though

[@mustlovedogs5569]

Business class can use priority lane?

[@TheBattousai2004]

Its a separate priority lane, not the same as for trusted travelers (nexus), but still better than the regular line.

This is the most awesome fight review I ever seen...The images are crystal clear and most of all... no loud speaking only displaying the words so let viewers to concentrate the images on the screen The author is such young men...Amazing Please keep doing your wonderful job

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Wow thank you so much for your kind words Helen :)

[@tjittekamminga5170]

well, the AC lounge looks like a morgue, seats and catering in BC seems rather poor alas! But yeat a nice video!

[@davideck]

Strange looking morgue?

[@ramyfares9099]

If you were a 90’s kid, the A330 was your childhood aircraft to fly onboard ❤️✈️

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

I Like the Business Cabin.Great work

[@Nottsboy24]

Nice upload 👍 i've will be flying on this aircraft on my way back home to the UK in the summer....looking forward to my business class seat 🙌:)

[@outdooradventures1]

It was like i was with you in this journey. Thanx for sharing and greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@fluttergrrl]

The kitchen went a bit too heavy on the red pepper sauce. It looks like the sausage is drowning in it. I liked the video but my opinion of Air Canada hasn’t improved.

[@kiddo817]

Thank you for the detailed review with very calming background music :). Best thing about Air Canada Signature is that the hard product is very uniform throughout its fleet. Nearly all lie flat seats are identical, even cabin finishes, seat colour shape and texture, and seat layouts are identical whether it’s 330, 787 or the 777. That way you get a very consistent hard product for J class regardless of which route you take. As someone who flies a lot, J product consistency is really important in one’s travel experience. As for the amenity kit being removed, I honestly don’t mind for short transcon routes - good for the environment to save a bit of plastic that people will throw away after one use 😊

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Omg yes consistency is great. Gosh everytime I try to book a Lufthansa flight im like which of the 20 different J's am I going to be flying? LOL Yeah it's not too much of an issue that the kits got removed (i have collected too many haha). Just wish they would update their homepage to note this as there you can still see it says it will supply one for North American flights...

[@kiddo817]

@@TraverseFlightReview totally agree. Given the chaos and shortages airlines face, even if you secure a nice J seat at booking it’ll likely get swapped away at the gate with different equipment. My experience with AC is that they at least try to ensure you get the same type of J seat if there’s equipment swap. Once they are done with refurbishments on the last 2 remaining A330s then it’ll all be the same J… not to mention the 321 neos with lieflats coming soon.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

@@kiddo817 for the return i purposely booked the old J to do a little comparison for the viewers, only to get an equipment swap for the refurbed config again 🥲

[@rickybee]

I always enjoy the background music here.

[@nkhan4]

That red pepper relish on AC is EVERYTHING! I love their breakfast.

[@mustlovedogs5569]

So aYVR to NYC won’t have amenity kits?

[@mustlovedogs5569]

2 breadrolls or was that the one from appetiser tray?

[@roeberXanadu]

"everything feels smaller and tighter than 777 and 787"...cabin width A330 5,28m- 787 5,49m- 777 5,87m...could it be because...HiHiHi

[@ezimdanielchukwunwike531]

Wow

[@m4x1k5guy]

Great review. Thank you!

[@mustlovedogs5569]

The appetiser looks more like dessert

[@dmooooon90]

Took this round trip for my trip to Lisbon this past weekend. Indeed not very fun to sleep in. I can sleep like a baby on the 787s (Haven't rode 777 long haul) but could not get a single hour of sleep on the A330. Also note for the bulkhead window seats for A330, the fuselage starts tapering in so your feet will jam into the walls before being fully into the foot well during full lie flat mode (this is a huge issue with Westjet's 787 J). Do avoid the bulkhead windows if you're a longer legged person.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Wow thanks for the info. I usually prefer bulkheads buy sounds likes no good for the A330!

[@stodakhizzle9049]

Nice report thank you

[@mustlovedogs5569]

Shame there aren’t some seats in pairs as I’m travelling with my mother

[@9mmforever]

That is when the 2x in the middle are best. They have a small panel you can lower as well.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

It is great when there is a membership lounge to go to and have some coffee and a nice meal.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Thanks for the compliments!

[@andrewlee6721]

thank you for the detailed review. I hope for you to bmb.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

I shall

[@onnodecloe3571]

Facemask needed in Canada ?

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Not anymore :) But some still do wear it.

[@michaelallen2221]

I was watching on my tv but had to go on my phn to say thanks for this review and anyone thats happy to see that a330 as much as me is a friend. Before pandemic we wld go to cancun every year 1 hr south of cancun. Every year transat. A330 club class. This will be our first time in dec flying on a 777 in business. So everytime we see a video we watch it. I must say that landing of your plane was nice.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

Wow thank you so much for your kind words Michael. Trust me, AC Signature Class will definitely be better than A330 Club with Air Transat :) Very jealous of your upcoming trip and wishing you happy flights!

[@michaelallen2221]

@@TraverseFlightReview hey thanks we were wondering how it wld be going with air canada as we have never flown with them. Also how is the 330 in business vs the 777? Any difference?

[@TraverseFlightReview]

@@michaelallen2221 lie flat seats are great. The 777's have a bigger airframe so its much more spacious and the seats are wider. i think you should definitely go with the 777 :)

[@michaelallen2221]

@@TraverseFlightReview how are the massage seats? Too bad the flight crew wasnt nicer. Thats a real let down especially when your paying so much more than everyone else.

[@TraverseFlightReview]

@@michaelallen2221 To be honest, its too gentle I cant even feel it. They need to roll out the shiatsu function 😂 as for the crew, yeah its very disappointing. Ive rarely had any unpleasant flights with AC but lately thats been flipped upside down.

[@norvanernorvaner3291]

I think you need to upgrade your camera!! 🙂

[@johnflanders7558]

Air Canada has the worst international economy seats flying.

[@johnwellington5754]

Have you flown UA on Int flights, ACs fleet is remarkable and the hard product is one of the best in NA.

[@johnflanders7558]

@@johnwellington5754 no i would never fly a us carrier internationally. Seats too narrow and less pitch. Asian airlines are much more generous.

[@johnwellington5754]

@@johnflanders7558 Exactly, so if you've only tried Asian airlines, let me promise you, AC is one of the best Airlines on Trans atlantic
