I flew last summer from Montreal to Israel all the way in lia flat Business class for the first time and i figured i'd share some information about the AMAZING experience that i had special on the New 787 with Air Canada, I think that this is the best Business class seat available from North America to isreal beating United/Delta/ Elal of Course,
Itinerary Was as follows
YUL-ZRH Swiss A330
ZRH-TLV Swiss A340
TLV-YYZ Air Canada 787-8 /Only 20 Business class seats
YYZ-YUL Air Canada A330

I arrived to the airport 1 and a half hour before the flight and within 15 minutes i was in the Air Canada lounge they have some kosher pretzels and drinks it was recently renovated so it was nice, when i boarded the flight the usb didn't work and my phone was dead so one of the crew members was kind enough to let me charge it in front of the plane, The service on Swiss was nice and the kosher food was not good, the nice part was the 3 and a half hour layover in Zurich where i had a nice lounge with a private small room to daven shachris and then take a nice shower before heading to my next flight,

I arrived to Ben Gurion Airport 2 hours before the flight and the security lines was so long that if i wouldn't fly in business class i would probably miss my flight, in the Business class security line was about 20 people and i took like 40 minutes to get it over
the check in counter gave me a slip to enter the dan lounge which was pretty full but i found a table to eat breakfast and read some news thank to the wifi
The service on the he 12 hour flight to Toronto was so good that after 8 hours i as i wish i have another 10 hours on this flight the seat was very comfortable and a lot of space to put your things one of the flight attendants offerd me to hang up my suit in front of the plane where they had a big closet for it, after 1 and a half hour of the flight i got my lunch which was very good and i also got a desert on the tray i told the flight attendant that i wanna go to sleep and she should put away my desert for when i will wake up and she gladly did it for me after i woke up she brought me my desert with a nice smiley on it and i was very impressed with the service the whole flight before landing they gave out another meal that wasn't good, after landing i took a shower inthe Air Canada lounge in Torontobefore my one hour flight back to Montreal on a A330 with flat bed seats.
