I have never flown Air Canada before and I will be flying on it next weekend. What's it like?
I personally really like flying with Air Canada. They don't give you any snacks, everything has to be paid for with a credit card on flight, but I find the planes clean, modern and roomy even for coach (I'm pretty short though). I've also never had a problem with delays, baggage or staff. Flying with Air Transat this trip though, Air Canada was too pricey!!
I'm sure you'll have a very enjoyable trip
If you're flying to Canada from Southern California, you should be treated to great service on Air Canada. If you're flying across Canada, it's another story...I have never flown Air Canada before and I will be flying on it next weekend. What's it like?

Air Canada is an old-school airline, with lots of unions and seniority issues. Staff with the most years experience get the best-paying routes (international, long haul). Junior staff cover most of the domestic and short-haul flights, and they are the ones always sweating over whether their jobs/pensions/benefits will get slashed in the next round of cut-backs. Flying with these basket cases is frustrating.
........Bring a good set of earphones. The in-seat entertainment system is free and is one of the best in the air (very new movies plus several classics, and a few pre-recorded TV shows). But Air Canada's headphones are poor quality and overpriced.
Check out the Simpsons Movie web site. The "create your Simpsons avatar" link appears at the top of the main page.sorry...have to ask GrtWtNorth...where did you make that Simpsons avatar?
Yes, it's free. And surprisingly current. You can check what's playing on the EnRoute (Air Canada magazine) web site. Kung Fu Panda 2 is playing, and it's not even available on DVD yet.also...AC is really free for inflight movies? cool!
