Air Canada - the good and the bad
I flew from Montreal to LaGuardia on Tuesday on Air Canada's 8:50 flight.
A nice touch was that we were given what turned out to be a pretty reliable estimate of both the flight time and the gate-to-gate time. For the flight, the forecast was 58 minutes (in practice, 63): for gate to gate, it was an hour and 32 minutes (actually an hour and 22 minutes). Useful information, especially since it was pretty close to correct!
The bad bit was that, as usual when I fly Air Canada, I could not get the moving map part of the in-flight entertainment (IFE) to work. I don't think I've had a single flight with them when it's worked all the time: on most of the flights it hasn't worked at all. And it's the only bit of the IFE I ever use!
