I have flown economy across the pacific on us based airlines, and air canada is vastly superior. Perhaps that is not saying much. Singapore is good, but only goes to sfo and is not daily and is often overbooked. Air Canada business class is as good as any other, but these days I am not taking business often.

As for your friend's preference for British Airways, all I have to say is look at the current debacle at Heathrow -- BA seems to have a complete system breakdown at least once a year. And BA pilots have voted to strike later in the spring. So more chaos is likely. Caveat emptor, which may also mean the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I do agree about Air Canada's food. Needs to be upgraded.
