Maybe they are still figuring things out on some routes? I have a flight on Oct 24 and I got the email this morning, exactly 30 days before the flight.

The SD seemed confused. She hadn't realized the menu was wrong. It was served in the proper order, reverse of the menu.

Strange. I'm still waiting/hoping for one for the 23rd

AC841/23SEP FRA/YYZ - Morning dinner

Is it normal for a 09h20 departure to start with dinner ?

As others have noted, the curry was pretty good - though no (spice) heat to it.



Breakfast on my intro-Europe inbound w/LH was superb.

Why can’t AC provide fresh bread ?


Separately, FRA MLL was a nightmare. PAX queued out the door. I dropped in the Senator lounge as backup.

Does anyone know what the PDB prosecco is? FA specifically described it as prosecco as opposed to champagne and it tasted quite different than the champagne I had later during the flight. Ex FRA if that makes a difference.

The PDB Prosecco is Bottega Gold or sometimes it gets substituted for another version of it. Champagne is not served during boarding cause it has something to do with paying taxes and duties on the champagne if it is opened. LP is served in-flight.

I asked that over a month ago, apparently it has to do with dinner being the main meal. Response: Post 1038.

Sorry for the bad lighting. I flew YYZ - DXB the other day and got an omelette with a chickpea and kale stew for breakfast. It was delicious and a nice change from the typical sausage/potato/cheese omelette. Not sure if it's the typical offering for Middle Eastern and Indian routes, first time flying to this region with AC.

I believe that's the Omelette they serve on their India subcontinent routes. I checked the menu for my upcoming flight to DEL and it has the same breakfast option....even though we land at roughly 9pm...interesting

YYZ - DXB lands at 8pm and we got breakfast for pre-landing. Sounds like the same service flow as India then. The main meal was express service with cheese + desert + appetizer altogether. No garlic bread refills

I sure hope the DEL route does not serve express dinner. Usually it gets annotated on the menu. Its a 15hr flight so if they are doing an express service....that would be interesting.

LHR-YYZ
garlic bread was meh, especially since i had perfect warm soft inside/lightly crispy outside/both sides buttered bread on the previous SQ flight. butter chicken was good, although could've had a few more spoonful's of rice. Snack sandwiches were meh.

Updated wine list

Here is the updated wine list. Wasn't a big fan of the Austrian red but the Thirty Bench is good and at $25 from the winery, slightly above AC's typical meagre wine budget. ​​​​​​​
