I read on another thread that the legal drinking age on an Air Canada flight is 18 years old. I don't see how this could be any different from the 19 year old limit set in Canada. I'm going from NRT to YVR tomorrow on a 763.
So what is the legal drinking age on an Air Canada flight?

When I was flying NW from AMS-EWR 4 years ago I was only 20. I wasn't allowed to get a beer. And I asked them why I couldn't have a beer because we weren't in the US and could not se why that should be a problem. We were somewhere over the Atlantic and she told me it was a US airline we flew and they were following US rules...
But I don't know if things have changed since then.

Since Air Canada is based in Quebec, and the legal drinking age in Quebec is 18, then the legal drinking age on board an Air Canada flight is also 18. See? There is a positive reason for Air Canada to be Quebec based ... only if you're 18 of course.
The drinking age on Royal Airlines was 18, and I'm sure that is the same with Air Transat as well.

The drinking age on an airline is determined by the laws of the country where it is registered. Airspace has nothing to do with it. I've been on European and American carriers over the Atlantic and where as European airlines served me alcohol the US airlines refused to do it because I was not 21.

The summer I turned 18, I went with my twin brother on a Air Canada 747-400 to London. We flew Business class and were served wine with dinner and had Baileys on the rocks after. I got drunk on the flight and the flight attendant never asked for ID. We had our own little cart to make drinks pretty much during the night. I think there is a legal age, but they didn't enfore it that flight. =) Cheers.

Two great planes to travel on, Aznjapken!
You should have no trouble getting drinks at age 18 on AC. I was never challenged when requesting liquor or beer when I was 15, 16 and 17 on AC and CP as well. I found being aboard airplanes to be one of the easiest places to get served drinks when being underage. Like Starlionblue mentioned, they never asked. Those little liquor bottles were really cool when they were common.
In Manitoba, if you're old enough to vote, you're old enough to drink!

Seeing that it is based in YUL, and in Quebec it is 18 years old, (or to many, as a replacement for water) then I would assume that you're fine. Also, I'm sure they won't care at all, especially if you are in Executive.

Baileys is a great choice. I got sloshed on a 727 flying to YYT when I was 16 drinking Baileys on ice. Also recommend nice, cold, Canadian beer. Nothing much better than cold beer to add to the occasion for a great flight.

same thing happened to me on a DL flight about 3 years ago from MAD- JFK. I was 20 and got upgraded to BizElite so I took advantage and started pounding drinks...I must have been about 7 deep when the flight attended looked at me with a funny eye and said, " You are 21, arent you?" of course, I replied. so obviously they were trying to enforce the US law.

Molson Canadian is abosotly vile, don't think about drinking that. Go with Sleemans or Kokanee (my personal favorites). To bad they don't have Alberta Genuine Draft though, best beer ever (jk). I hope you a great flight, Air Canada longhaul is pretty good, espically in bussiness.

Years ago we used to carry a local Alberta beer which was very short lived, given scathing reviews. Can't remember the name of the brand. What are some of the other local creations.
I agree though, Alberta Genuine Draft excellent brew!

Do not complain, underage boozers...
With Saudia, the alcohol drinking is reserved to passengers over 180 years of age.
They give these respected senior citizens a "Sadiqi" welcome cocktail...
Insh'Allah...

Baileys is good to drink....if your a woman!
Drink a mans drink, whisky or lager

Although it causes me great pain to admit it - I have to agree with GKirk.
It really gets my goat when I'm in the pub and a guy orders a "bacardi breezer" or something feminine like that.
It just isn't right!
