AC 158 Calgary - Toronto
Air Canada's 737max is a new addition to the fleet and one which I deliberately scheduled to take just to try it out for a transcontinental flight. Its racoon eyes looked like another new aircraft type although it is a narrowbody. New improvements could also push it across the Atlantic. I guess it would be better than sitting in a HD 777.





With some time to go before boarding, I walked around the terminal and found a new, brighter construction with little carts transporting passengers around running on a BRT-like set of lanes. There was a station with benches right before the arrivals exit. Bright red lights turn on to warn passengers as one of the carts near as they must cross the vehicle lanes to get to the exit, or to the gate. For a less-trafficked airport, perhaps this sort of space-sharing can still be safe.







With empty gates everywhere, I could take a close-up of the horrible zoned boarding lines and why Air Canada can screw up boarding even for a narrowbody.







Boarding commenced late and it seemed quite full tonight. The cabin had a new plane smell and everything looked quite refreshing. The seats were comfortable with a large TV screen. The IFE was, however, not turned on and would remain off for the entire journey.







I don't think passengers were hungry on this overnight flight, but there was a bistro menu in the seat pocket anyway. Air Canada only provides complimentary water, soft drinks, tea, and coffee for these domestic flights. Despite being a red-eye, blankets were not provided. The joy of flying in North America ...









The flight deck greeted us and explained the late boarding was due to maintenance being on the aircraft after it had arrived. They were only able to get on the plane shortly before our boarding and we would need to wait another 10-15 minutes for security checks before we could depart. We were also told there would be some "light chops" in the first part of our flight, then smooth afterwards.



I dozed on and off and 3 hours passed fairly quickly before we were descending into a clear Toronto sunrise.























Since it was a fairly full flight, I waited until arrival to take photos of the new plane's cabin.







What surprised me were the many rows of these supposedly elite seats at the front part of the Economy cabin. There didn't seem like a noticeable amount of additional legroom, and it was still 3 seats a row. Is this another excuse to milk a few more bucks from the passenger?





There were a few rows of Business Class up-front. No lie-flat beds here.



Good morning, Toronto, 17 minutes late.



We were let off into a busy concourse where it was a straight line walk to the exit. There are actually 2 exits. For those with checked bags, they need to head downstairs to the baggage claim. Since I was hand-carry only, I could continue on to the upstairs exit, then escalator down to the curb.
