As, so the "cramped as sardines" Dreamliners are being rotated to the Montreal long-haul routes.  Good to know since I'll add those AC routes to my avoid at all costs list.

Gonna stick to A330s only, then?

I also read somewhere that AC will bring back a seasonal YUL - PHX for W18

Or try to avoid AC altogether.

you realize that the BA 787-8 has the exact same seat dimensions as the Air Canada 787-8/9 & 777. The other alternative, Air Transat (our blessed Quebec national carrier), has 9 across on a smaller fuselage with 30" pitch.

Air France is the same. 

So in this case you're stuck with Swiss/Lufthansa lol.

I get to Spain with Swiss passing by Zurich on a a Boeing 777-300ER  10 across seat,  one of the most uncomfortable flight i ever take.   This pictures is for a 340 pax configuration but the plane i took was in a 412 pax configuration. It was full of passengers.  Imagine there is a configuration at 550 pax!!!!!

You guys should just upgrade to premium economy... Anyways, I love the dreamliner's business class with AC. Good thing that we're getting more.
