Which is better: Air Canada or United for trans-Pacific business class flights? AC will be out of YVR and UA out of SFO

My experience is from Pre-Covid. SFO has UA Polaris Club. That’s nicer than the AC Maple Leaf Lounge at YVR.

I like the Polaris seats more than AC but service will not be great on either one. Try to fly another Star Alliance carrier like ANA, EVA, Singapore, or Thai. All are much better than UA or AC.

Thank you! This was my impression as well, only difference with UA is the SFO Polaris Lounge.

Probably United for Polaris

Comparable products. Would go with the more convenient option.

Anything but AC!! Fights running late, change in gate numbers, logistics issues and staff shortage - they have series of issues! Still can’t get over my last flight fright 😭

Yeah seconding D2. Search for recent news on AC. They’ve been having a logistical nightmare for a while now due to being short staffed, equipment issues etc.

United

Looking to spurge all of my Marriott points for honeymoon. Which international property would everyone recommend?

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
