The transatlantic market is one of the busiest markets in the entire airline industry with the most competition from both continents. Although when people think of flying transatlantic with a North American-based carrier, the U.S. BIG 3 typically comes to mind. However, Air Canada has built up a large fleet and extensive route network to compete with airlines from the U.S. In this video, I experience what it’s like to fly Air Canada for over 9 hours over the Atlantic. The top thing that I noticed was that, besides the crew, everything else was mediocre. The flight wasn’t bad but it didn’t stand out from an AA or United flight.
