The low cost carrier market within domestic Canada has always been a hyper competitive and cutthroat environment. Over the years, we have seen a number of low cost carrier’s come and go, including Canada 3000, Jetsgo, Greyhound Air, Air Canada Tango and Harmony Airways. Low Cost Carriers almost always typically enter bankruptcy protection, or are eventually absorbed by another carrier. Now, after five years of operation, we can see the route ahead… Read More

Qatar Airways developed the world class Q – Suites Business Class Cabin that set new standards throughout the world for business class travel.

A great airport hotel should be convenient, hospitable and add ease to a travellers journey. Our return to the San Francisco International Airport had us visiting for fifteen hours. Instead of returning to the Westin San Francisco Airport, we decided to stay at the San Francisco Airport Waterfront Marriott.

After establishing itself as one of the most popular American Express Centurion Lounges, the Seattle Tacoma International Airport Centurion Lounge expanded into a brand new location that is three times the size of its old location. With the old lounge being exceptionally compact and over crowded for a premium airport lounge, would the new lounge offer any additional features or space?

After waiting around for several years for international travel to re-open, and a general lack of reward availability for business class cabins, I decided that I had to change course when it came to planning to travel. In this case, frequent flier points became the preferred currency of choice, as you could easily cancel a business class ticket, without worrying about your currency being stuck and held with the airlines for several… Read More

This trip would have me staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Prince George; a brand new hotel built within the last five years. The stay would end up being… Read More
I returned to the Four Points by Sheraton Kelowna Airport for a recent business stay. Having stayed at the property several times previously, I would be interested to see whether the hotel was still the place to stay when in Kelowna. The hotel provided a basic stay experience, but I couldn’t help but feel that the hotel had slipped a little from its opening day. The hotel seemed to be wearing and… Read More

Our recent trip to the Canadian prairie city of Regina Saskatchewan, had us visiting the elegant Diplomat Steakhouse for a pleasant traditional steakhouse dining experience. Read… Read More
On a very occasional basis, work takes me to the central Canadian Prairie City of Regina, Saskatchewan. While this happens to be a regular stopover on the regular Canadian trans-continental driving trip, there aren’t many business hotels in the city that regularity cater to business travellers. My return to this primary business hotel in Regina, the “Delta Hotels Regina”, marked my stay for this particular trip. Read on to see what your… Read More
