Air Canada Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner | AC401 Montreal to Toronto (C-GHPX) | first trip report!

One of the more unique flights I took, this is Air Canada flight 401 from Montreal to Toronto Pearson. It is rare to see a Boeing 787 Dreamliner operate this route so it is always a unique experience to ride on it for such a short flight. Since I rarely fly in the winter, it is also only my second time to see the aircraft deiced.

This is my third time on a Dreamliner and first on the shorter 787-8, and my first two times on a 787 was Scoot's 787-9 between Hong Kong and Singapore last year. However I do prefer Air Canada's 787 over Scoot since AC has personal TV's and the seats are a bit better. Also this is my first flight with an intention to create a more comprehensive flight video, as I didn't have a YouTube channel the last time I flew and I just made short videos of takeoffs and landings so they were unfit to be put together in a video like this.

Overall, an excellent flight with an excellent crew, my only complaint is that I probably should experience this aircraft on a longer flight!
And also that Air Canada should deploy the aircraft (including 787-9) to more important routes, like Toronto to Hong Kong/Athens/Rome/Amsterdam and to more routes more frequently out of Montreal, to keep up with the competition.

This was edited with VSDC video editor like all of my previous videos, and my first one with text in it, so excuse any spelling mistakes that may occur.
