Air Canada ist Kanadas größte Fluggesellschaft und Star Alliance-Mitglied – für Vielflieger mit Nordamerika-Fokus eine wichtige Airline auf Langstrecken zwischen Europa und Kanada. Auf dieser Seite sind alle Air Canada Beiträge von miles-around gesammelt: ausführliche Business Class Trip Reports sowie Reviews der Maple Leaf Lounges.
Getestet wurden die Air Canada Business Class im Airbus A330-300 von München nach Toronto, im Embraer ERJ-190 von Seattle nach Toronto und in der Boeing 777-300ER von Toronto nach London-Heathrow – drei sehr unterschiedliche Kabinen, die einen guten Querschnitt durch das Air Canada Business Class Produkt auf Kurz- und Langstrecke liefern. Ergänzt werden die Trip Reports durch Reviews der Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Toronto Transborder, der Maple Leaf Lounge Toronto International und der Maple Leaf Lounge Frankfurt – eine der meistgelobten Star Alliance Gold Lounges am Flughafen Frankfurt. Die Beiträge richten sich an Vielflieger und Kanada-Reisende, die Air Canada vor der nächsten Buchung aus erster Hand kennenlernen möchten.
I've read a lot of good things about the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Frankfurt on various blogs. Some frequent flyers even say that it is one of the best Star Alliance Gold Lounges at Frankfurt Airport. We had time to visit the lounge before our flight to Dubai.
Thanks to a lucky error fare, we flew Air Canada Business Class on a Boeing 777-300ER from Toronto to London Heathrow in January 2017. After our last flight in the older Air Canada A330 Business Class, I was particularly curious to see how the newer cabin compared. Even during boarding, I noticed that everything seemed more modern, tidy, and of higher quality. Whether the new Executive Pod seats were truly as comfortable as Air Canada promised would be revealed that night.
Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounge network comprises over 20 lounges worldwide. Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is home to three of these, one serving domestic gates, one serving transborder (i.e. flights to the US) and one serving international gates. We visited the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Toronto International in January 2017 before flying to London with Air Canada.
Unlike many European airlines, Air Canada offers a true business class on short- and medium-haul routes – with wider seats, more comfort, and consistently premium service. In early 2017, we flew from Seattle to Toronto and had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the flight to the fullest on board Air Canada Business Class in the Embraer ERJ-190.
Air Canada operates a total of three airport lounges at Toronto-Pearson Airport (YYZ) - one for international destinations, one for domestic destinations and one for flights to the USA. On our way to Seattle, we visited the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Toronto Transborder. You can find out how we spent our time there and what the lounge had to offer in the review.
Thanks to an error fare, we flew Air Canada Business Class on an Airbus A330-300 from Munich to Toronto. Despite complications during boarding and an outdated Business Class seat, Air Canada still managed to impress us with its service and the quality of the food.
