My flight experience: Quito – Toronto

Before further, Don't forget to check the travel requirements according to your nationality, in the case of Ecuador we need a visa to be able to enter as tourists.
Check-in was quite simple. I did my process online previously, which made everything faster when arriving at the airport. An important point to remember with Arajet is that the additional services, as hold luggage, seat selection and food on board, are paid separately. This is key to avoid surprises.. I chose to carry a suitcase in the hold, since I was going for several days and I also wanted to see what the process of connecting the luggage with the airline was like., something I hadn't done before.
Here is the first Flight Report from the YouTube channel:
Boarding was ordered according to the row you are in and, once on board, the cabin of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 It looked modern and clean.. The seats, yes they recline, They were comfortable for a flight the duration of 3 hours and 3 minutes what was the weather that day. The cabin crew was friendly and attentive at all times., resolving doubts and offering services available for purchase.
During flight, the experience was calm. No free inflight entertainment (individual screens), so I recommend you bring your own entertainment (books, tablets with downloaded movies, etc.).
The arrival in Toronto was punctual with a duration of 4 hours and 10 minutes and the immigration process in Canada, as usual, It was very efficient and very different to immigration from any other country I have visited.
