  Beautiful report as always! The terminal at YYZ looks really nice. 777-300ERs are beautiful aircraft. Too bad AC has decided to go with a 3-4-3 configuration in Economy on their new 77Ws. It looks like your 77W was the older 3-3-3 configuration? I can't quite tell. The dinner looks decent, visually, although you say it wasn't good so that's a shame. the breakfast is a joke...and I thought AF and KL's breakfasts on Transatlantic were bad. Awesome pics of Frankfurt. It's nice to take advantage of long layovers and take a break to see a new city. I did the same thing in Frankfurt last year and built in a short overnight into my itinerary. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next reports! 2015-01-31 21:22:46

  Thanks so much Kevin. I'm very glad you liked the report. lol, I know the breakfast was like a total joke :D
  You're right, I don't remember if it was a 3-3-3 or 4 in the middle. I hope the new 777 are still comfortable as for example Lufthansa seats are very tight in width in their A340-600. 2015-01-31 21:38:15

  Thank you for sharing this report with stunning photos as usual.
  
  AC catering is not the best, but at least they do not resort (yet)to serving packaged cookies or brownies for dessert just like the U.S. carriers. 2015-02-01 05:12:35

  Thanks so much Jetsetpanda. Yes you are right. To me their seat comfort is more important than their catering :) 2015-02-01 09:34:58

  Thanks for sharing this FR
  
  A lot of great pictures of the airport and the visit of Frankfurt
  
  Great legroom and seat width. Very comfortable
  How tall are you ?
  
  Unfortunately it's not possible to see the seat configuration
  
  AC's catering is a joke and it's not appelling at all
  
  The packaging is the same as KL's but there is much less items on the tray and of course not the famous KL's snacks basket between the meals 2015-02-01 10:05:00

  Indeed! Last April I had a 77W flight from MUC-YYZ on the "normal" 3-3-3 and it was super comfy. In Sept on a flight from YYZ-CDG, I flew on the high-density 77W. It was awful. At least Emirates compensates with legroom (+1 inch, +2on the 77L). Imagine from YVR-SYD on the 77L, its the same setup, or even the flights to HKG or NRT. No thanks. 2017-02-12 08:06:32

  Thanks so much Lagentsecret. I'm glad you liked the pictures. I'm not very tall around 178 CM :)
  I totally agree, the catering in AC is not that great at all.
  Thanks for checking out the FR :) 2015-02-01 21:47:56

  This is one of the low density 77W's in 3-3-3 layout I confirm the legroom is great, 32-33' IRC, their new crappt high density 77W are MUCH less comfortable. 2015-02-01 21:55:02

  Thanks for this great FR. I'm disappointed in my country's airline, they should be embarrassed to serve such a ridiculous breakfast. The dinner is very light as well...
  
  Beautiful pictures! 2015-02-01 21:56:06

  Thanks so much AC881. Oh, I did not know that seats are tighter in the new version of AC 777s. That's a shame. I wish they'd stop making economy tighter for poor passengers each couple of years. Someone has to stop this but airlines never care about the people, the only thing they care about is their pocket. 2015-02-02 01:55:05

  Nice report and pictures. AC catering is absolutely the worst I've experienced flying internationally, i simply refuse the joke of the "breakfast" or snack. 2017-02-12 08:06:04
