A Complete Guide to Air Canada's Premium Economy

- On our flight from Shanghai to Vancouver, we were upgraded to Air Canada's Premium Economy cabin on the 787 Dreamliner. Along with footage from a few other flights in the same class of service, I have once again made one of these hybrid trip-report-overview films to show you the products and services offered. Come with me as I take an in-depth look at the seat, the food, the service, the lounge, the amenities, and of course, the bathroom.

Opinion Time: What do you guys think of the new outro I made? (18:32)
Love the new outro!
What software do you use for your maps?
Incredible..can i have your email ad please? I wanna learn how you zoom in from outer space down to earth.My email ad is; pbaddoo321@gmail.com
Thank you
Thank you now I can spam your email address 👌
So you don’t know how to travel you always make it bad protection of the Canada probably want to have luxury all the time when you travel travel for nothing shouldn’t in Canada. That’s what I see.
VV, you're on another level mate. Better than Sam, Jeb, Dan, Paul, Paul, Noel and most others. The only 2 I think are good as u at delivering and telling a story are Dennis and Scott (sanspotter). Animation-wise you are alone at the top as far as I'm concerned.
Thank u for this first class review/trip report. You're the man VV!
Thank for you saying that, it means a lot. Although, I have to say, I do enjoy all of the aforementioned channels and their unique way of delivering content. I’m glad you appreciate the animations, there will be more to come!
Dan criticizes the airlines in the smallest thing ever
I agree that he is the BEST. I love watching those other guys, but VV is the very best.
Semi agree, except for Jeb, I know him (though he is still trying to figure out who I am in real life, not this name ;)) both are a step ahead of the others. I would also say Sanspotter does a great job and has a very similar sense of humor to VV.
Glad you have decent premium economy reviews. Business is too expensive for me, so these videos actually help make the decision to bump up.
Very informative, unbiased, and downright entertaining video.
for the quality of content, delivery, editing etc, i'm surprised on the low count of views. good luck for future!
Since discovering this channel (an accidental stumble-across), I've sent word out to my network via Flickr and Facebook - We should all be doing it :)
He has potential
Probably cause no one cares about Canada
3 mins in and already a great video. great shots, voiceover, editing!
Helpful, informative and well spoken plus subtle humour. Thank you VV. great graphics to show travel by maglev and terminal layout. Getting to the airport and navigating terminals are also an important part of the journey. So this is appreciated. I just travelled HKG-YVR in Bulkhead seat 50EF. Love to hear your perspective on that.
I took the “raccoon livery” 787-8 to London from YVR. It was a pretty cool flight as it was my first time flying on an Air Canada raccoon livery. Keep up the great work man!
Amazing editing work !
Another great video! I'm shoook by the quality of your videos, really appreciate how much effort you put into them.
Thank you!
@@VicariousVoyager Do you edit everything yourself? How long does it take?
I do edit everything myself, and I guess it depends on the video. I make them mostly as a pass time, and probably spend about an hour or two a day editing them.
@@VicariousVoyager love the map showing airports and public transit.
Wow, really comprehensive review, entertaining, impressive delivery and all useful details. All hallmarks of a seasoned traveller who focuses on the essential information but very helpful.
This is an amazing review, after I saw this I immediately watched all of your videos, hope you stay safe and are on track to make some more videos!!!!!!!!!
Amazing Video! You have some great content!
I’ll be traveling soon to Canada and was really considering premium economy, well I guess you helped me make up my mind. Thanks
after this I have officially watched every single one of your videos, gonna need some more pretty soon
I am rewatching.. still better than a frist watch of many others :D
You’ve just earned yourself a new subscriber 🤟🏻
The commentary and animations are awesome man!
great job with the animations. you are skilled
Again. The best review ever!
your videos are just so cool. love them:)
This was a very comprehensive review. Flying AC Premium Economy next Friday from Toronto to Dublin, so I'm looking forward to my own experience.
An extremely great and detailed video . Thank you
Love your sense of humor. Got a subscriber!
Excellent video thanks! We are considering upgrading to premium economy for our upcoming Brisbane to Halifax flight on Air Canada and this is very helpful.
Awesome video! Thank you!
Brilliant Review! I'm actually flying AC Prem Econ in a couple weeks from YVR to Dublin Ireland! Although none of of my flights are on the dreamliner... Whaaa wonnn!
Thanks definitely decided to try the premium Economy.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Awesome review. Have you had the opportunity to review Westjet’s Dreamliner PE and if so how did it compare? Trying to decide on flights to Europe.
Always loved your content! Would love to see new content soon!
Thank you for this outline of classes
the miles conversion is hilarious
nicely done. All corgi references get a thumbs up
Looking forward to my PE flight in a 787-9. On another note: what program do you use to create the animated maps?
whoa! awesome maglev vid👍
Love it when you more details on the food n wine… please zoom on the menu n wine list (mostly in business /first cass) n also when u at the lounge👍👍
Great job. I'm a fan
Very informative video. I'll be flying Air Canada Premium Economy 787-9 solo . Just wondering which seat would you normally choose. I also have long legs so I guess 12 is out and its between rows 13 and 14. I'm thinking of Row 14 window seat so I can rest my head on the window/side..
I have been wanting to do youtube like this to travel and film, my question is when you land , what do you do i dont see any vlogs of exploration . Also just found your channel and really been enoying it. I need to swtich my gaming channel to travel like this seems more relaxing and less headache lol. Keep it up.
you’ve probably figured out - but he works, goes to university or visits his family 🤗
Hey traveling to Italy from Toronto is its worth the extra for the premium economy ticket round trip? Btw great job on all your videos I look forward to watching your travels
Amazing Video VV! I think it's better to fly with economy rather premium economy because they just provide you with just few more amenities and charge a lot. I recently watch james asquith's review, i would recommend that.
Thanks for sharing, prep for upcoming china trip when open
I'm keen on your video whose is great :))
I've been to Canada when I was 1 year old and again, I went there in late 2012 at age 18.
I love your Vlog, I am going to sub, and follow U!!!!! U are funny, that is what I love the most!!!!! Thumbing this too!!!!!!
Would you recommend seat 12 (bulkhead) or 13?
Great review! I am trying to decided whether or not to fly YVR to LHR Economy or Premium Economy. This I gues, would be on Air Canada as what I seen of Westjet's PEco, just is a bit disappointing.
A/C only offers one flight non-stop each day on this route,which leave one to travel to LHR via YYC / YYZ or YUL. If flying via a stop, I guess stopping at YYC makes send as the second leg is longer providing the possibility of sleeping a little longer.
Please let me know your thoughts.
TY
this was great as I'm flying YVR-DUB next year. where are the new vids dude?!
Interesting video ❤
Hey VV, I am wondering if the armrest is moveable(lift-able so that you can lay across on 2-3 seat) for the first row in PE? Thanks
No it is not
Just wondering what the name is of the audo track starting at around 5:49?
Also, new sub from YVR, I really do enjoy your videos. I got hooked on your UA Polaris Business Class review as I'll be aboard that to SIN mid January 😃
The song is "Redial" by "Ballpoint". Thank you for subscribing and hope you have a great time on UA!
@@VicariousVoyager thanks for the response! A quick one I should say too 😋
Does the premium economy section have its own bathroom ?
Watch you before any others 😊
ty for this video
Love your laconic delivery & dry wit; 0.00112468 miles (6.34)? Subscribed immediately!
I enjoyed your video and wish I could say the same about my upcoming flight on AC...
First time I have seen your videos. You seem to be quite entertaining so I will definitely check out some more. "I am 181cm tall or for Americans 0.00112468 miles." I almost spit out my milk!!
Do the seats in PE have leg rests?
Hi VV, going to Tokyo from Toronto with 2 young kids next year, cant really afford business, so lookinat Premium Economy middle seats for the 4 of us. Just wonder which row would you suggest? First with bulk head or middle? Thank you
Hey there! I'd actually steer you to the back row, you can recline the seats freely since there's no one behind you. The first row is rather lacking in terms of foot space, and the young ones might have hard time reaching the IFE that's on the wall. Hope that helps!
what do you use for seatmaps?
My fiancée and I are going to France for our honeymoon and as I have dietary constraints, the food has been a concern for me. But the Air Canada food looks perfectly edible and so, that's a relief.
I love the new livery and Air Canada was the first airline to give their cockpit the bad ass black trim around the exterior cockpit window and excuse me for not knowing the correct terminology but you should know what I am saying if your an AV geek... And man you make a good narrator/ video so I hope you can keep them coming cause this was a great review and I am comparing you to some of the big guys out their but great job.. I am new subscriber for you for sure...
I think they refer to it as a “Zorro Mask” or “Bandit Mask”, either one.
Correct , I had a super brain fart lol.. thanks bro
No problem I got your back 🤪
(5:50)
Gate D69
me: nice.
omigod nice nice nice 😂😂😂😐
Isn't that actually the latest product? Old ones had that red leather. I always fly Premium Economy or J on YYZ-TYO / YVR/TYO and I have never seen a proper 'leg rest' on AC PE whether it's a 777 or 787 -- just that terrible non-adjustable leg rest you mentioned. Even Philippines Airlines has a proper leg rest in PE. IMHO AC's hard product is way behind...
Also, I was in that lounge in January and there were no dumplings then either. We should mutiny.
Do PE on AC 777 has designated washroom?
This is an excellent video! Very helpful Thank you. I was hoping that premium economy service would be a lot better to travel internationally.. Based on your review, it sounds like premium economy is better while travelling in north america only. Depending on the aircraft you don't even get separate premium economy cabin washrooms or get to use the ones in the Business class section, no lounge access, slightly better meal and an amenity kit, I hope you get at least a few free alcoholic beverages. Doesn't sound worth booking premium economy for double the cost of a regular economy ticket at all. The basic fare internationally would cost 1/3 of a premium economy ticket. The premium economy product sounds like it needs an upgrade :)
When are you flighing with emeriates?
Amazing video VV!
Do you or anyone else happen to know if you can pick the seat number at home, before the flight?
I'm flying to Japan tomorrow via Air Canada.
Today I got an email from them allowing me to pre-select my seat and get my boarding pass digitally.
@@riffgroove Thank you. What happened with us was that, since we bought our tickets from their partner (a travel agency), we could only select our seats within 48h before the flight. Then AC's website says that if you buy the ticket directly from them instead of a travel agency, that you can purchase the early seat selection way before that 48h window before your flight. But it worked fine as it was.
@rafaelnavega5447 Yeah, even though I'm flying out tomorrow, it was still not a problem getting the sat I wanted.
I imagine this would totally depend on how busy this particular route was in general.
Glad it worked out for you.
the toothpaste livery is the best, especially the rudder painting
I NEED MORE VIDEOS TO WATCH
Is Premium Economy worth it? -- I probably wouldn't bother on a short flight, but my only regular journey is UK to Thailand (12 hours), and I've managed to afford the 50% hike in fare to use EVA premium a couple of times. It was definitely a lot better last year . . .
EVA's PE might be worth you exploring for a report. I've always found their crews to be cheerful, helpful and attentive - Thai used to be the same, but in recent years I think the pressures have been building and the old welcome is not so obvious.
BTW - I'm not flying economy out of choice, but I know that once I hit Chiang Mai, there's going to be a lot of spending on family matters, so I need to save those pennies :)
Eva is definitely the best premium economy that Ive flown
“Unless your a corgi” me being 5’2 or 157.5 centimeters pretty sure I might be able to stretch my feet 😂
Which airline would you recommend between Lufthansa, Air Canada and British Airways flying from Frankfurt to Vancouver! Thank you. 💐💐
Hey Gwen, what was your choice in the end? And how was your experience? Thanks.
I haven't made my choice yet, due to lots of changes our trip has been delayed. I am still unsure though between Air Canada and Lufthansa. One thing is certain it will not involve any airline which uses London Heathrow! !!!
Did you grow up reading MAD Magazine? I ask because your sense of humor reminds me of the classic puns and one liners used by Mad's Maddest Artist the Late Don Martin. I enjoy watching your your trip reports, and most of all the funny comments that you let out every now and then.
Is the Maglev new ?
Very well made video. Thank You. You know the Premium Economy seats actually resemble Business Class from 25 years ago.
Hey, I’m also 0.00112468 miles tall. Awesome 👏🏽
Would you suggest I fly premium economy vs economy from Calgary to Australia?
On that long a flight, the extra bit of comfort alone makes it worth it
If can next year try Swiss premium economy class.
视频节奏轻松，解说幽默，必须subscribe！ Way to go!
Can you get a blanket if you want to or you need to bring it urself?
Food sure looks good for Premium...!
has anyone flown transatlantic on the Airbus A330-300? We fly Montreal to Milan
Are washroom separate for premium economy?
Yes, on the 787, and 777 (with one business class cabin), the bathroom towards the front of the cabin on the left (port) side is reserved for PE. On the 777 with two business classes, PE shares the bathrooms with economy.
Cool
I'm with you on the livery. I've always detested the toothpaste livery. For my money the old Canadian Airlines goose livery and CP Air Orange and silver were the best Canadian liveries. Thanks for the great content!
Toothpaste was better than the green tail but the best one is always the old AC red livery
Wow 上海浦东国际机场 I departed from there last time!
I'm 188 cm, not thin and pushing 60. Will be economy for 8.5 hours Toronto to Rome and dreading it.
Is the bathroom located in the Premium Economy section ? ( by the way, excellent review, and I subscribed )
Try SIA premium economy next time! It’s so much better than AC’s...
Ha “viewer engagement”. I do like the raccoon livery tho
Enjoy the snark and the quality of the editing
❤
One of the best reviews I have read in a long time! Thank you. By the way, I have to say I think the "raccoon" livery looks ridiculous!
Honestly the Premium Economy long haul on Air Canada was very disappointing and akin to "Business Class" on a budget carrier like Jet Star. I would either do bare bones economy or BC. 👍
Thanks for this. Am currently looking to fly YYZ to BCN, and have been considering PE on AC and really wasnt sure it was worth paying 2x the price.
Racoon livery 100%! toothpaste isn't bad. Racoon is just that much better.
Where is lounge vid
How can you afford to travel so often and premium Class.
What I am hearing from you...
Short distance traveled get Premium Economy
Long distance traveled stay Economy
Is that right?? But then you said Premium Economy tickets are about the same as Economy on long distance flights so...
More based on feel. If you need the extra room for long-haul, PE is a great way to do that. Bang for your buck PE is best in medium-range flights; business-class meals, etc. He said PE tickets are the same as "Flex Economy" which is an economy seat with flexibility perks such as changing your flight or canceling without fees for example. Your average economy ticket will be noticeably less than premium economy.
"The girlfriend". I can just imagine how much my ears would ring if I referred to my better 1/2 as "The".
