Hello and welcome to my flight back home to Tel Aviv.
The entrance to YYZ airport

We are going to return our car to Thrifty, the location is near the arrivals hall

The check in for all Air Canada flights

And now we are going to the passport and security control (prohibited to photo inside)

Our way to gates area

Shopping time!!

The security control for flights to Tel Aviv is harder than any other countries

Gate E71 to Tel Aviv

Our way to the 787 dreamliner (C-FGFZ), there is another small security check at the end of the jet bridge

The view from my seat

Snack before the meal

The transition from light to dark

The lunch was served about 1hr and 30min after departure, we had a choice between vegetable pasta and chicken

Mid flight snack, you had a choice between chicken, egg salad and cosher sandwich

from your right is chicken and from your left is egg salad

After taking some good sleep, it's time to breakfast

You had a choice between pancake and omlet, I've taked the pancake

Starting descend to Tel Aviv, the pilot told us to seat 40 min before the landing due to Israeli rules

Tel Aviv's coast

Making left turn to RWY 30

Welcome to Ben Gurion Airport Tel Aviv!!!

We have parked near United's B777-200ER that just arrived couple of minuted before us

Conclusion

For 10 hours flight I expect for more.
The pitch between the seats was tight for me, there is just 75cm and I'm 178cm.
The meal was terrible, my family and I couldn't eat that, the meals was small and awful.
The Entertainment is small, there wasn't new movies from the cinema, just old American movies, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
The crew was great, always walked with battle of water.
After meals serving the crew walked with hot and cold drinks.
The announcements of the cabin crew had spoken on English, French, Hebrew and Arabic.
After all, the Dreamliner is very quiet airplane.
I would not fly anymore with Air Canada for long haul flights in Economy class.

Thanks for this FR.

Well the dinner is the same as on flights to Europe but the breakfast is definitely better with that hot option.

The snack in between meal is also pretty good compared to what you have on UA or AA for a flight of the same duration.

The snack is good but all the hot meals was awful up to we couldn't even eat that.

Thanks for report...I totally agree with your opinion

"I would not fly anymore with Air Canada for long haul flights in Economy class."

They are fine in business class or premium economy, but anything beyond 5 hours or so in Economy is an ordeal.
