Prologue:

I had the last week of March off and originally was planning to go to Quebec City. Just when I was about to purchase my ticket I found a SFO-LHR fare for USD 450 (EUR 400.87) on AC/LH. I did not hesitate to purchase that fare right away and change my plans to go to LHR instead. I then decided to use some leftover Avios to visit DUB and add a new city to my list.

Summary:

I really enjoyed flying on AC 787-9 and especially appreciated the crew on both legs for going the extra mile to get me some souvenirs. After we arrived at LHR I was given a tour of the J cabin before deplaning by the flight manager who explained the features of the seat in detail. I thought that was top notch service and really made my experience more special.

The 787 offered a smooth ride and the entertainment system had a great assortment of films.

Please be aware that if you are seating in rows 44 or above, your overhead bin space might be restricted due to cabin design or storage of equipment.

Catering was OK for the flight length.
