The flight to HK was ok. AC fucked us over good because the original 789 we were on had an electrical issue and we had to deplane and wait for a replacement 789. 4.5 hour delay later and we got a worn out POS.
Daughter slept in two stretches on the 14.5h flight. First nap was 2hr long at 8pm, then another 3 hour long nap at 1am. We landed at 7pm PST
My daughter went through a leap while in HK, and the flight back was a bit more hellish as she was way fussier. We took off at 8:30pm HK, we were served dinner an hour in and she refused to sleep until 11pm. It took 3 tries but she finally settled down with me carrying her on the baby carrier. She slept 5 hours until 4am HK. Then it was a slog until an hour before landing when she fell asleep until landing.
There were a few reasons we booked with AC, one was the timing of the flights worked out for us. AC7 to HKG departs at 12pm PST and lands in HKG at 5pm HK. 12pm coincides with my daughter's nap, and we land in time for dinner and then bed.
What ended up happening was napping in the airport, and then landing in HKG at 10pm. With that it meant we didn't get to bed until 2am.
We took AC8 HKG-YVR. The flight itself was fine as it's only 11hrs, but the whole flight's attendant's attitude was terrible except for one older gal.
I think I'm done with AC for the forseeable future. Between the lack of knowledge and inconsistent training across their members, inconsistent service quality, and terrible food, the experience was extremely lacking. When we were booking our flights, we contemplated flying with JAL for $200 more per ticket, and would have if the flight times were better. At the end of the day, it wouldn't have mattered with the delay and we regret choosing AC.
Cathay was $600/ticket more so it was out of the question for flying with 6 people, as it would have added up to almost $3000 more.
end rant.....

side note, if you're kiddo is 4 this year, you're likely going to sign them up for Elementary in your district. Registration is likely open on your district's website. |
Yep, we brought the travel laptop but didn't even use it at all. It was just dead weight.

Yes, we lost out as we were #34 on the waiting list. There were only 2 classes in our catchment, and we pass by 3 schools every morning when I go dropoff in the morning.
Signing up early doesn't seem to make a difference as the lottery is as it says, it's a lottery.
