Air Canada 777-300ER ECONOMY: I Survived the MIDDLE SEAT

Looks like it was a turbulent landing in Heathrow. The Captain buttered the landing which was amazing. That airport is, as I’m sure you know, known for its crosswinds. Loved the vlog!❤️✈️

[@JaydenWong]

yep it looked like it was going to be hard, I literally could not feel it! Don't think the pilot applied reverse thrust on at least one engine too as it was so quiet. Thanks Diane!

[@MusicNation-c6z]

Hi Jayden Happy New Yeat Questions non related to this video if that’s okay please. Would like to see your advice. 1. Any chance you will try Starlux this year to give your review comparing to China Airlines? If so , when? 2. For short regional trips if you were to use redemption miles for flights and have the choice between business and economy class which cabin do you suggest? Thank you for your comments

[@JaydenWong]

thank you@@MusicNation-c6z 1. I tried booking Starlux several times when I had to chance to go to or via TPE. Starlux is just too expensive (and I need to go to Macau airport) instead of Hong Kong. For example I was looking to go from Japan to HK/Macau, Starlux was $500 USD one way, but I booked Juneyao for less than $200. 2. depends, flat bed vs recliner seats. Is the lounge at the departure airport nice or is it worth the extra miles?

[@MusicNation-c6z]

Thanks for your quick reply Jayden. Starlux noted with thanks and hope you done review soon. For the regional short flight I mean the extra miles between them. What do you think? For example CX between TPE and HK eco worth 7.5K miles vs biz 16k miles If you have the choice which one you reckon worth more value with miles redemption?

[@JaydenWong]

I personally wouldn't pay extra extra for that since I already get lounge access with Cathay. 16k is ok if you get the planes with flatbed I suppose@@MusicNation-c6z

[@rulinghabs]

Just booked Vancouver to Montreal. This will be my first in a 777 with Air Canada. Kind of excited

[@sputnicksteerpike]

another good one! and may i just say: this might be the first time i see an aviation KZbinr sit in a middle seat ... its so good how you make the best out of every situation! 😊 CoAtHoooOoK!

What a nice Vlog of London. I spent 3 Months there back in 1990 to improve my English an so much has changed since then. Afterwards I was a couple of times in London, mostly because of my Job. By the way, the spool up sound of the GE 90`s are still the best.

I once been on a middle seat on one of my Cathay Pacific flights It was all the way at the back of the plane too

Hi Jayden, What an amazing vlog,AGAIN!🤩 My appreciation for your middle seat.😉 My huge respect to your aunt who cooked very wel, it's a joy to see her cooking.😋👌 You know, it's my day off. Enjoying my monday morning. I made black coffee with cinnamon and took my present, a box of Belgian delicious pralines for mothersday of yesterday and watching your vlogs.😋❤️ You are always welcome in Belgium with Brussels airlines of any other airlines to visit our cosy country. Good luck and huge thanks for your vlogs!👍🙏🌞

[@JaydenWong]

Hello!! Thanks for binge watching my video on your free day :) I will actually pay a visit to Belgium in July! Hotel in Antwerp but we will also do day trip to Brussels and maybe even the Netherlands :) Can’t wait!

[@Novazm]

@@JaydenWong Antwerpen is a little bit boring. But visiting Ghent and Bruges is worthy for your money. It takes you only 30 minutes to get to Ghent or 45 minutes to get to Bruges from Zaventem airport with a train. In those cities are the hotels or B&B's are cheaper than Antwerpen. Beetween 19-28 july is famous Ghent Festival, the world comes together here. In Bruges The Chocolate Line shop of Dominique+Julius Persoone is one of the must see and try tip. You wil enjoy your trip for sure!

You just teleported to Canada, but we will act like you flew there, and congratulations for surviving the middle seat.

Liked it Jayden and in North America Star Alliance Gold flyer community UA Mileage Plus and AC Aeroplan they see this AC B777-333/ER better than a United Airlines B777-322/ER in terms of Service. The same thing is also applicable to AC Signature Class > UA Polaris. 20:21 Safran Cirrus Seat which you've done trip reports on. For me not tried it

[@depatie99]

Thank you Jayden for capturing how claustrophobic riding in that centre seat of the 10 abreast 777 economy section is, so I don't have to ever experience it. Good thing you had 2 friends with you to make it out to the aisle when nature calls.. January 2020 just before COVID hit, I thought it would be fun to fly the Air Canada A330 on an hour long flight from Toronto to Montreal,. It took longer to load and deplane the aircraft than it did to fly between the 2 Canadian cities, wirth the overhead bins looked just as crowed as your Basic economy flight to London. Honestly, as a Canadian, I think I would go out to Halifax and fly the MAX to LHR if I had to fly basic economy across the pond. Did you know that Air Canada has some of the lowest paid 777 first officers in the world, as this is now an entry level position at the company and new hires are on "flat pay" for the first few years of their career...

Flew same route airline A/C as u back in Oct. One of my worst flight in my close to 50 years (stated flying time v young 😉) of flying AC! 5 hours delay at YYZ due to toilet issues! 777 seats so small, can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t watch the movie! Next morning FA threw the banana bread at us! Flew AC 3 times in 2023. 2 times flight delayed or cancelled! All of friends and relatives around the world had issues with them last year! Personally, add to list of issues with them in all my years of flying with them: Bomb threats, forgetting to serve me drinks twice (I was not drunk), pilot getting food poisoning, computer issues! Flying from YYZ to LHR I always have issues! Last time in 2008 on BA flight delayed 7 hours and we had to fly closer to land 😂😂😂. And in 1995 the famous bomb threat on AC856! Long story …

[@aldenaviations]

Air Canada B777-300(ER) looks uncomfortable, the 3-4-3 config. is very horrendous and they cramped to more than 330 seats in economy class which will restrict the legroom. The bag situation is pretty insane to see since it'a a 100% full flight and there's not enough space in the compartment. It's the same issue that usually happen here in Indonesia domestic flight, even with Garuda. Last month when I flew with them, they ask me to check my luggage during boarding because the overhead compartment is gonna be completely full. The inflight meal onboard looks very average, the chicken option looks so dry and the pesto pasta looks okay but I wish it's not just a pasta with pesto sauce and bell pepper, just like you said better add something like mushroom. On the other hand, the breakfast looks tiny but it's just okay for a 6hrs flight. I don't think that I'll survive the middle seat because I simply hate it lol. 13:12, it looks so smooth but the crosswind before touching down looks pretty crazy. Great trip report Jaydenn
