Air Canada 787 Premium Economy Class – Ground ExperienceĪ friend dropped me off at Vancouver International Airport at about 6am, in advance of my 7:30am departure. I had only flown Air Canada premium economy once before, on a very short journey between Toronto and Montreal, so I was eager to find out what the experience would be like on a medium-haul journey.Īnd since I’ll be making plenty of Vancouver–Toronto trips in the future, I was hoping that it would be a viable alternative to business class in terms of the comfort and service, so that I could save some Aeroplan points for larger and more meaningful redemptions over time. Meanwhile, I booked premium economy for only 17,300 points not only was that a significant savings compared to business class, but it was still good value compared to the cash price of ~$790 one-way as well. When I was looking at this flight with Aeroplan points, the business class redemption was priced awfully high under Aeroplan’s new dynamic pricing model – around 60,000 points one-way.
