Air Canada AC33 flies the ultra-long-haul corridor from Toronto to Hong Kong. Conditions change hour to hour — view the live forecast for your departure date.
View live forecastThe route crosses mid-latitudes where the polar jet can influence flight conditions, though exposure is shorter than on genuine long-haul crossings. A large portion of the flight crosses open ocean (North Pacific), where upper-level conditions are generally smoother than over continental terrain.
Calmest season: Late spring and early autumn. Transpacific routes are most turbulent in winter months when the polar jet is strong and positioned further south.
