Taken April 2001 from Toronto Pearson to London Heathrow

On board a 747-400C. Delayed first at Toronto Pearson, due to a fault with the altimeter, a new one had to be flown in from Quebec.

After take-off, we were served a reasonable dinner, luckily it tasted better than it looked.

The seats on this flight were way too small in the way of leg room.

Movie selection on-board was great, some of the things shown were not even out in England yet!

The landing at Heathrow was extremely rough, like a Bucking Bronco ride, however this was due to a tyre exploding and deflating on touchdown.

Outbound flight was much better. Try to travel mid-week, as the flight wont be as busy as a weekend flight, also the Airbus A330 aircraft have a lot more room on board, when compared to the 747-400/Cargo.
