Welcome to the 2nd part of my 2023 Europe trip! This (and the rest of the reports) won't go in-depth about seat layouts, but I will cover the basics.

YUL AIRPORT


After getting off the E175 from RDU, I ate some food, and headed to the gate to catch my flight onboard an Air Canada 787-8, specifically C-GHPX.

I'm seated in 26A, and the Panasonic eX3 system wasn't responding to touch for me.

After waking up, this was the view. I edited only this photo, since the rest will have a Mexico-esque tint to them, due to the windows degrading, common on older Dreamliners. Water was handed out to people who wanted it.

Artificial sunrise, it changed color slowly to mimic a sunrise, taking advantage of the 787's mood lighting.
