That said, it was not perfect by any means. Something that struck me was the quietness of the Rolls-Royce powered jet, with the only identifiable noise being the squeak of the overhead bins and the landing gear’s retraction.

On my flight back home for Christmas, I had the opportunity to upgrade to premium economy on Air Canada.

)Having space on an airplane is always a luxury – and Air Canada’s premium seat has plenty of that - with many extras! (In coach there’s often one charger per two passengers.

While angled lie-flat seats shifting from a business class to a premium economy product has been expected for years now, few might have expected Air Canada to be the airline to do it, and not least with third-hand aircraft and seats.

Nonetheless, the necessary information was served with clarity and professionalism.Just before the clock struck 10, we turned on to the runway and sped into the night. Montreal airport offers free, decently fast WiFi which only requires an email address to connect.Feeling rather hungry thanks to time zones, I grabbed a sparkling water and a Montréal smoked meat sandwich at Café-U.

Slightly tired, and aware of the 7 or so hours I would be spending seated, I decided to go for a walk rather than sit around and wait.While on my walk, I came across a British Airways 787 and a seat-cover featuring and thankfully explaining colloquial Quebecois expressions.Though amused, I decided against pulling myself a bûche, and opted to stretch my legs instead.Finally, at 15 minutes past nine, the gate employees announced priority boarding.

I wonder how many passengers actually buy them on a one-hour domestic flight…While the crew was busy selling earphones, I took a quick look at the in-flight entertainment system.

I recently had the chance to test out Air Canada’s premium economy offering on a flight between Casablanca and Montreal.

In premium economy, I found an unusually high number of elderly passengers and families with small children who had pre-boarded. Not only was the corn crunchy but, it was decently sweet and didn’t give the impression that it had come from a can.

“Adequate” is the perfect word to describe the seat pitch: It inspired no stronger emotions in me, either positive or negative.

Except, when I got there, I was sent to another one on the opposite end of the terminal…Nonetheless, within a few minutes, I found a staffed baggage drop off area and was directed to one of the automated machines.

Unlike many of Air Canada’s Europe to Canada meals, which are long life, perhaps frozen, items, I found this Montreal catered meal to be of much better quality and taste.While I found the mains okay, I was impressed by the corn salad. Opens in a New Window
