[BI] Flight Report ANA / Air Canada NGO-PVG-YUL

After spending two weeks in Japan, it's time to head home. This is flight report of two flights: ANA NH939 from Nagoya Chubu Centrair International Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport onboard the Boeing 737-700 then connecting the Air Canada flight AC18 to Montreal Trudeau International Airport onboard the Boeing 787-8. I experienced my worst connection ever in Pudong Airport...

在日本度過了兩個星期後，是時候返屋企了。小弟乘坐由全日空ＮＨ９３９由名古屋中部國際空港前往上海浦東國際機場，再乘坐加拿大航空ＡＣ１８航班前往蒙特利爾特魯多國際機場。是次乘機讓我體驗到了浦東機場的地獄轉機經歷．．．

I first take the Meitetsu Airport Line "μ-SKY" Express service from Meitetsu Nagoya Station. Nagoya Station is a very complicated station, many companies operate their trains in this complex structure including Meitetsu, Kintetsu, Aonami Line and JR, while each company has its own ticket system. Meitetsu is the only one that provide service to Chubu Airport.

由名古屋市中心出發，首先乘坐名古屋鐵道機場線的μ－ＳＫＹ特快列車。名古屋車站非常複雜，除分多個站構外，每個鐵路公司都有各自的改札口：ＪＲ線、青波線、近鐵線和名鐵線。而前往中部國際機場的則只有名鐵的常滑線。

Although "μ-SKY" service is the fastest train to Chubu Airport, trains only come at every 30 minutes (larger interval during rush hour) and an extra charge is applied. Therefore, passengers can also use other Meitetsu limited express trains that has its destination as "Central Japan International Airport"

儘管μ－ＳＫＹ特快前往中部機場最快速的方法，但其間隔達到30分鐘（高峰期列車更少）而且需要購買特別車輛券。所以名鐵常滑線的特急列車也是另一個前往中部機場的方法哦（特急列車的普通車廂不需要另外加票）

"μ-SKY" Train seats

μ－ＳＫＹ列車座位

Over the regular ticket charge, an extra "First class car ticket" which costs 360 yens is required for taking "μ-SKY", the ticket must be displayed in front of your seat

名鐵的特別車輛卷不論距離一律360円，坐下後必須將卷放在座椅前方以供車掌查票

ANA mainly uses its B737-700 for domestic flights. Thin seats make the trip less comfortable but not a problem for this 2 hours short flight

全日空主要使用其Ｂ７３７－７００於國內線。其特薄座位雖使得舒適度減少，但２小時的短程航班不成問題

Arriving at Shanghai Pudong International Airport

Nightmare begins

到達上海浦東國際機場
噩夢開始

First, I was looking for international transfer counters: looks ghost... I was directed instead that I must enter the Chinese border, than recheck the luggage before going through all the normal departure procedures...

誒，為什麼轉機櫃檯沒人？
從機場工作人員口中得知，國際轉機旅客必須入境並重新辦理行李托運，再進行普通旅客出發手續》》》》

Therefore, I was forced to enter the Chinese land. Pudong Airport is incredibly crowded in August, lines are excessively long. We waited 1 hour for security check and 1 hour for immigration

也就是說，無端端我要入中國境。大家知道，８月份的浦東機場異常擁擠，無論是安檢、入關、出關，隊伍都是一小時以上

Pudong Airport Terminal 2 concourse

浦東機場２號航站樓

More rediculous: Air Canada uses two counter areas for check-in. D area is used for flights to Vancouver and Toronto while B for Montreal. However, the B area opens only at 2pm (2 hours before the flight departs), giving only 2 hours for passengers to check in, security check and immigration clearance. 

更可笑的是，加拿大航空分為兩個值機櫃檯。Ｄ區僅供多倫多和溫哥華的航班使用，而Ｂ區的櫃檯則２點鐘才開放。也就是說，在大約２小時的時間里，旅客要辦理登機手續，安檢手續和出關手續

Then we experienced something even more ridiculous: The previous flight using gate D83 was United flight UA87 toward Newark. The flight was delayed because one of its passenger "Miss Gao Yun" wasn't showing up (she eventually came after the flight left), so the Air Canada flight arriving from Montreal was parked in space of airstairs...

更更可笑的是，之前使用Ｄ８３閘口的聯合航空ＵＡ８７前往紐華克的航班因為　高云女士　遲遲不出現導致延誤（她趕來時飛機已經飛走），導致我的航班要停去遠機位

On this day, Pudong Airport's shuttle bus operation is extremely busy. The small area is fitted with thousands of angry passengers... Yup, most of flights departing here are delayed, including ours because there aren't.... enough buses

First Economy class passengers, then Business class VIPs and eventually pilots got angry over the airport staffs

"No don't misunderstand me you're a fantastic guy but this airport is sh*t get your supervisor...." yelled one of the Gold Elite passengers

這一天浦東機場的擺渡巴士等候區異常繁忙。本來就不大的區域內擠了幾千早就因為延誤而憤怒的旅客。當然，浦東機場大多數飛機都是要延誤的，包括我的飛機．．．
先是經濟艙旅客，接著是商務艙貴賓，最後是機長，都在對著地勤罵
「不，這不是你的問題，問題是這個機場的管理，我要見你經理」——一名憤怒的金卡鬼佬

Eventually we get here, all passengers regardless of their status or travelling class were putted into one bus no less crowded than Saikyo Line trains during morning rush hour

終於，我和多位金卡、頭等艙人士由一架擁擠度不亞於早高峰埼京線的擺渡巴士上送到了停機坪

I always imagine some bloody stuff...

這個時候，我聽到一段機場地勤的對話
「誒你看著他們剛才有個人跑到那邊去了（指隔離架國航機）」
「啊 是小朋友嗎」
「哪裡，就那大媽」
我輕輕地同地勤哥哥說了一句「我真心疼你們浦東機場的地勤啊」

The plane continues to be hold on tarmac, when we finally given the permission to move it was four and a half hours after the scheduled departure

飛機繼續被ｈｏｌｄ，當終於給予允許移動的柯達時已經是原定起飛時間的四個半小時後

It's not my first time travelling on the DreamLiner. My first time was also with Air Canada for flight AC30 from Beijing Capital to Vancouver back in 2015 which I was upgraded to Premium Economy, in 2016 I had the opportunity to traveled on British Airways flight BA95 from London Heathrow to Montreal, also on Premium Economy. This is the first time I seat in Economy to... feel the diffrence?

這不是小弟第一次乘搭夢想客機啦。第一次２０１５年也是光臨加航的ＡＣ３０北京－溫哥華航班上，還幸運地被升上高端經濟艙。第二次２０１６年則是英國航空的的ＢＡ９５倫敦希斯路－蒙特利爾的航班，也是高端經濟艙。今次是小弟第一次乘搭７８７的經濟艙呢

IFE, compare size to my iPhone SE

ＩＦＥ與我的ｉＰｈｏｎｅ ＳＥ相比

Actually I would like to give 4/5 for AC's IFE, it's doing a lot greater than American/European carriers!

實際上加拿大航空的ＩＦＥ非常不錯，比很多美國同歐洲航空公司的選擇多很多

AC18 flies over the Arctic, which B787's dimmable windows show its weakness: IT DOES NOT BLOCK THE SUN IN NORTH POLE!! No one can sleep under ultraviolet so strong

ＡＣ１８航班取道北極，弱點一下就放射出來：太陽很猛遮光玻璃完全不起作用啊啊啊啊啊！！太陽曬到沒人睡得著

Total Route

We arrived in Montreal. Although several international flights at the same time, custom and immigration is relatively smooth

儘管多班航班同時降落，清關程序是非常順利

When we finally stepped out of the airport, Montreal's sky is already dark.

ANA's service is still as great as it always have been, Air Canada has rooms for improvement. Pudong Airport, one of the worst I've been.

However, I files a complaint to Air Canada, they decided to give me a 25% discount on my next purchase on aircanada.com, which I greatly appreciated.
走出機場時，天已經完全黑了
全日空的服務依然是一流，加拿大航空則是可以有晉升的空間。然而，浦東機場則令小弟很是失望。
在跟加航報道了轉機不順利的情況後，小弟得到了加航網站７．５折的優惠，讓我很是欣慰！
