Welcome back to the channel today I want to show you what you can expect from Air
Canada's premium economy on their 787-9. This is flight AC96 from Sao Paulo to Buenos Aires.
Let's take a look at the seat. As far as the premium economy seat goes one thing I did like is
that it's cloth. I find the cloth seats are more comfortable than the all leather seats. It does
have the leather padding at the top for your neck rest, but other than that the seat is all cloth.
You have the in-flight entertainment screen in front of you and the remote below. Their is a
little pouch for the safety card and you could probably put your tablet in there.
You do have power down there below and the tray table is off to your left side. Their were
headphones, water, a pillow, and a blanket left out for premium economy passengers. Let's take a
look at the tray table as I struggle to get it out; so there's the tray table. It has
a little indention for a cup.
You do have a little bar there as you can see below with the power outlets. The bar
serves as a foot rest. You do have a good view out of the window. This aircraft does
have individual air vents also. Here's the pillow and blanket that were left on the seat;
this cabin was fairly empty. I was in seat 14K by the way. Here are the headphones that were passed
out. They were fine for what they are. As far as the leg room goes it was sufficient. Here's the
recline just to give you an idea, and this is a movable headrest which goes up and down
like that. I am gonna leave you with the taxi and take
off and then I will talk about the rest of the service on this flight, thank you.
Okay let's take a look at the bathroom here. You have the maple leaf inspired wall and some
interesting floor tile, that's a little different. You do have the window on this Dreamliner,
so Air Canada opted for the window which I always feel makes the bathroom more spacious no matter
how small it is. Other than that it's a standard bathroom. As far as the food service went you have
fruit, a roll, some vegetables with chicken and pasta. The pasta was really good, overall the
meal was pretty good and you do have a truffle that was so good I had to get another truffle.
Their were no choices for the meal, this was just what was handed. As for the wi-fi this
aircraft did have wi-fi and I'll show you here the connection options. You do have a few options and
you can pay with either Aeroplan points or just in Canadian dollars. Here are the different options.
You have the browse pass. You have the option for a duration of one hour or the full flight.
Keep in mind this flight is maybe two hours and 20 minutes so I don't know if the full flight
option is gonna be the best option. If you need to use the internet by the time you have reached
10,000 feet when the internet's on you have probably wasted 15 or so minutes on the flight
at that point. Going through the different options browse pass, stream pass, and the ultimate pass as
far as the options you have for the internet. Here is the in-flight entertainment screen
and you can control this via touch or the remote below. I will show you the options
that they have on the IFE and some of the movies and TV. I will return with my final thoughts.
Okay welcome back so here are some of my final thoughts on this flight. This was
my first time flying premium economy on Air Canada and I thought the experience was good.
Tt's a fairly short flight, the food I found good. The seat was comfortable with the cloth I prefer
over the leather seats any day. The cabin was very empty and overall there weren't many people on the
flight at least not in premium economy. There didn't seem to be many in business as well.
So that was a good thing. One thing I did find annoying is that the announcements were made
in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. I guess that's what you get when you have a
Canadian carrier that speaks French and English and you are going from Brazil to
Argentina. My in-flight entertainment screen wouldn't play any movies for the first five
minutes but it magically fixed itself. Overall the flight experience was good
in premium economy on Air Canada and would love to hear your thoughts below in the comments section
if you've flown premium economy maybe on an even longer flight, and if there's more food options or
are you just given one option. As always I thank you for watching. Please hit the like button,
