Air Canada 'high density' flights...
I'm on one.
It's cozy. :( |
Re: Air Canada 'high density' flights...
Do the seats recline?

Oh dear.

But can you get a beer?

Re: Air Canada 'high density' flights...
Lucky you. Last week on a 7 hour flight (not AC) I had the pleasure of looking at my seatback video screen at a distance of about six inches for 6.5 hours as the gentleman in front did a full recline from the second the seatbelt sign was turned off till it was turned on again. The only upside was not having to wear my specs. :unsure:

Opening your laptop on your tray (even with tray fully extended towards you) usually fixes this issue along with a foot applying firm pressure to the seat to prevent it reclining and breaking said laptop. You may get a few nasty words from ahead but I believe if you are in economy, don't recline the naffing seat! I don't in interest of the person behind me.

What's a "high density" flight? (Remind me not to book on one unless its insanely cheaper than normal flights and even at that it's probably just as expensive as normal flights from Lufthansa/BA given that AC is such a ripoff usually:unsure:)
In the 'back of the bus' it is a 3-4-3 seat configuration, where AC manage to squeeze 458 poor bastards onto a plane. Well 398 of them are the poor bastards, the ones up the front are comfy enough. In the previous configuration there were only 349 people on the same plane, 307 in economy. So in the "new and improved HD" plane, there are 91 more Economy passengers in the same space, and 2 less toilets. |

If I had wanted to stop the recline I would have just asked the stewardess. But as it happens I knew I was going to be watching 7 hours of films and couldn't be faffed. Maybe next time.

THIS is the Air Canada High Density (HD) configuration. (Click the '3 Cabin' option)

On this topic, if anyone happened to be on an Austrian airlines flight from Vienna to Toronto last July 28th and you were sitting beside a 14 year old teen and his crazy maltese family members then it would have been me :D I ask because the guy beside me had a British accent and was a PR. Oh and he snored loudly. |

In my case the stewardess was not very nice and told me that he can recline his seat if he wanted to, so I resorted to other methods :D

Re: Air Canada 'high density' flights...
Air Canada is just giving me more and more reasons not to fly them..:rofl:

Re: Air Canada 'high density' flights...
Cathy pacific have seats that recline into themselves without leaning back. They also have power outlets. Best economy seats I've flown in.

Re: Air Canada 'high density' flights...
I haven't flown AC and from most of the threads I have read on BE I'm going to try and make sure that I never end up flying with them

Not enough of a good reason to fly through Asia to get to Europe though :p |
Re: Air Canada 'high density' flights...
Currently in Montreal, Toronto flight was cancelled and we got rebooked, Hefce ending up on the hd flight.
Pro: far far far superior seat-back entertainment system! Way better, far less crap screen! Decent food. Plus a glass of wine and two gins. Cons: definitely cozier, and I was in a middle seat... luckily I did not have 'larger' neighbours, but the guy beside me had a lapzilla laptop, so that was cozy. As for reclining, I don't think the seats recline as much. The person in front turned around before reclining to let know they were doing it then did it slowly which is good enough for me. Onwards to Toronto now... |
