You may not believe this, but Air Canada’s tourist class actually had several rows of empty seats on this November 28th flight (the Friday after Thanksgiving) – which meant having an opportunity to stretch out and sleep for several hours – plus – yes, FREE WINE in tourist class.
With a connection to LAX, I was actually able to go through Canadian AND US customs AT THE TORONTO airport. The customs people were polite, professional, and extremely efficient. No lines, no hassles.
I haven’t taken a Lufthansa flight for ages, and I’ve never taken a British Air flight to Paris, so I can’t comment on the pros and cons of these to carriers.
As you can see, choosing an air carrier doesn’t depend solely on price. You’ll want to choose a low traffic hub for easy connections – whenever possible. You may be forced to use one airlines over another because of air mileage programs or alliances for RTW travel, but if your decision boils down to looking for the best quality service and product – Parisgirl would recommend either Air Canada or Air France. (Any readers who’ve flown on Lufthansa, Air India, or British Air from the US and Canada to Paris are encouraged to share their opinions about service and food quality!
