Mike, Canada's favorite son. I'm so glad to see Air Canada treating you and Nicole to a special trip. I can't think of a person who deserve it more. You always find the positives. I love to see people like you rewarded. It's much better than a person who always finds something to complain about getting a perk to keep them happy.

Note that the little room (Concierge service) that you were checking in for your Air Canada flight is normally reserved for Aeroplan Super Elite passengers (you need to fly at least 100K miles [or 100 flight segments] a year on Air Canada and/or their Star Alliance partners and spend $25,000/year with Air Canada to get it). Normal Signature Class passengers check-in in the area immediately outside that room. Also, the personal escorts from check in to lounge and from arrival in London to baggage claim is part of Air Canada's Concierge service offering that is normally reserved for Super Elites as well. Normal Signature Class passengers while they still get "FastTrack" immigration in London, still need to walk themselves.

The video was not sponsored by Air Canada but they were 'gifted; the tickets. They were allowed that special check in. They were given a tour of aircraft areas not accessible to passengers such as the crew rest areas and cockpit. Signature class looks like a pretty standard business class to me. Nothing special.

This is quite literally the best airline review I've ever seen on youtube. There is something that is so refreshing about seeing this review from someone that is not typically an airline reviewer and who is not typically accustomed to flying first class. I have recently found watching airline reviews to be one of the most refreshing things for me but then again, typically reviewers are highly critical which takes away the relaxing feel for me, which was my original purpose of watching airline reviews in the first place. Thank you so much for this.

They really go above and beyond in that lounge. And the 777 itself is pretty cool with that glimpse of where the pilots and flight attendants all sleep during long-hauls. Also, that espresso is NOTHING compared to Cuban espresso. Cuban espresso is easily some of the strongest stuff on Earth!

Yeah. Before everything screeched to a halt I was flying regularly to Asia and would upgrade to business whenever humanly possible. Similar 1-2-1 reverse herring bone config but no massaging seats. It was a huge difference in my ability to jump into work. Ending a 13 hour flight with a hot shower in the Cathay Pacific lounge and an iced espresso drink at the ready, I would hit the ground running.

FYI the airbag is common in business, first and a lot of the bulkhead seats. Basically, in other economy seats, there's a "front stop" to prevent passengers from getting swong too much forward during impact breaking spines or cause sub-abdominal injuries from the seatbelt. But for seats where's there is too much space in front, that protection doesn't exist. That's why a lot of the airlines now offer airbags in those seats.

The Champagne name can only be used if the grapes and wines are produced under strict control in the French region of Champagne. So both that Moët champagne you had in the signature lounge and the one you had on the plane ARE both Champagne. French sparkling wine made outside Champagne is called Crémant. And cheese is love, cheese is life. So you can't go wrong with a cheese plate! Fell in love with that stuff ever since I lived in Switzerland.

Not a single mask worn at any time (except on the ground in Korea, and when they think no one’s looking, no one wears them). It’s pretty clear from reviewing a lot of papers, the benefits are not there. No idea why Canada persists. In the U.K. once the whole PMs party thing came out everyone forgot about Covid and it hasn’t really featured in daily life since. We’re all still here and now more people are dying from other things like missed cancer diagnosis. We’ve made some big problems for ourselves with the response to Covid.

No they didn't actually. This is NOT First Class. It is business class and a pretty average business class at that.

We don't have 'customs lines' in the UK. Another one who doesn't know the difference between immigration (passport control) and customs. Please learn correct terminology. In the UK we have red/green channels for customs after baggage reclaim and, assuming you have nothing to declare in which case you enter the red channel to make your declaration, you just walk through the green channel unless stopped by a customs officer.

Wow you definitely were lucky with that gift from Air Canada. I totally agree, once you fly anything higher than Economy (Plus), you never want to go back. First time I tried just Business class for a long-haul flight from Zurich to Miami, it's been night and day. And once I flew back with Economy again, I got food poisoning LOL. No joke. 😂 Glad you had a really awesome experience.

I'll always remember the first time I got to travel overseas in first class. It changed everything about travel. Heaven. I would never pay for it myself (e.g., my company paid), but it was wonderful. No lineups, no mobs of people, no mediocre service. It was peaceful and relaxing - the service was great. When was the last time you said that about traveling?

I've been saving up for years to be able to afford a business class ticket come february on a long haul flight. And I'm so worried it'll ruin economy for me as well. That said, I'm glad you both got to experience it and take us along with you. If time and ticket prices permit, I'd love to see you do more videos like these on other airlines, much like you do your train videos! Thank you for another great video!

I'm following a bunch of travel channels and a few channels that review different types of flights and that's so fun! However, what makes this so lovely is that all you see from the littlest things to the fancier ones makes you truly happy. Your appreciation is felt over the ocean, through the screen to my home in Gothenburg, Sweden . It feels honest and warm. Thank you! Hope you have an amazing stay in London too. :-D I wish that I could fly like that once it would be a crazy cool experience. :-D
