Normal sized seats. Legroom. Real food. Real plates and cups. Real utensils. Smoking areas. Two checked bags. Two carryons. Flight attendants that actually smiled and talked.

And all included in the price which was not exorbitant by any means.

Yeah, nostalgia.

Even when I flew in the 80s as a teen, Air Canada was pretty damn decent compared to now.

Lol. My son flew a leg on AC recently. I believe it was 30 mins late and they served water and crackers with what looked like an imprint of Trudea on them.

Lol. Westjet serves 1/2 cup cold coffee and 3 mini pretzels.

AC was charter for the military in the 80s when their own fleet got too old. I remember it well. Think I mighy even have a spoon hanging about somewhere. 😉
