Air Canada review by Stephen 2014-11-14

Since my job requires constantly flying to get to meetings around the world, I know what to & what not to expect. And yes, I have all the points and awards - so I really know what constitutes 'good' on a flight, and what's not. So, I looked forward to my flight from Toronto to TelAviv and return, Nov 2014. So, you can imagine my anticipation on flying the AC Dreamliner - a large, spacious, quite aircraft that just eases the flight hours away. NOT. Air Canada decided to put in very small aisles, tiny uncomfortable seats and an entertainment system that doesn't tilt. I'm 5'4" and 135 pounds, so if I can't fit in a seat - something is drastically wrong! And I couldn't get comfortable - the flights to/from Europe were each 12 hours of misery. How greedy could AC be, as to try to fit in that many seats? The plane is already super-efficient - and everyone else using this aircraft uses the original, spacious Boeing seats and aisle systems. So, having an aisle seat is awful - you will constantly get your elbows, arms and feet banged by those flight attendants. Add to that - the washrooms are so small I couldn't even fit in. And, the toilet seats refuse to stay up! Come on, AC, adding a slow-release toilet seat, or even Velcro at the top, would cost you nothing! So, if you see an Air Canada Dreamliner on your flight itinerary, run away. They've turned it into a NightMare Liner!!
