| - OK, I'm going to come right out and say it; I like Air Canada.
I fly a lot. A LOT.
Now, to be fair, judging Air Canada in comparison to other NORTH AMERICAN airlines, they come out pretty favorably. The other disclaimer here is that when I do those long hauls it is primarily in executive class. By primarily, I mean always.
As with any other airline - there are tricks and secrets that tilt the power of balance slightly more towards the favour of the consumer. With some diligent research, you can find most of these on the net.
Some things you may not have known about Air Canada:
* It carries more passengers annually than the entire population of Canada
* It is ranked as the second safest airline in the world
* It won North American Airline of the year 2 years running
* It is the most flexible carrier, in terms of routing, to fly an around the world fare (Star Alliance or otherwsie)
Don't get me wrong - If I have a choice between AC and Singapore, Cathay, Air New Zealand, Emirates, etc. etc. all they are going to see is a ripple of electrons where my reservation used to be -- -- but when one has to originate from the US, for example, headed to Europe and it's not possible to do so without a stop - Air Canada is quite a viable option.
So, I would like to propose a new marketing slogan;
AIR CANADA; You could do a lot worse.
