With a departure to the United States departing at seven in the morning, we were keen to make life easy for our travel day by staying at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport prior to our flight. It had been several years since we had last stayed at this property, so we were up for trying it again. The hotel has experienced a full renovation since the last time we visited. How would the… Read More
Our flight from Lihue, Hawaii had us connecting through Seattle and onwards to Vancouver, Canada. While there are many carriers that typically fly this short international route, our travels on Alaska Airlines would have us on their newest Embraer 175 aircraft in First Class. How would this segment compare to its prior Alaska Airlines Bombardier Q400 aircraft? Review: Alaska Airlines First Class E175, Seattle Tacoma International Airport – Vancouver International Airport As… Read More
As a Vancouver resident, travelling on Alaska Airlines always means a connection in Seattle Tacoma International Airport. While the flight between Vancouver and Seattle is usually on a Bombardier Q400, today we would get the experience of travelling on their newer Embraer 175 aircraft. These Embraer aircraft would later replace their Bombardier Q400 fleet, making this segment a whole lot more comfortable in the future. Review: Alaska Airlines First Class E175, Vancouver… Read More
British Airways largest aircraft is the beautiful Airbus 380-800 series which it deploys on select routes, including the seasonal route of London – Vancouver in the summer months. The aircraft replaced upwards of three Boeing 747 flights a day between the two cities. While we’ve flown this route in British Airways First Class many times, this would be our first try in the highest density business class cabin in their Club World… Read More
The simple goal for today was to get myself to Toronto with all my bags in order to collect my son and start our international adventure to Portugal, the United Kingdom and Ireland. I had purchased this ticket on a separate ticket as a one way. While this isn’t a full review, I thought it would be interesting to share in the experience of summer travel with Air Canada before a longer… Read More
On select routes, British Airways continues to maintain an international First Class cabin in four class aircraft consisting of World Traveller (economy), World Traveller Plus (premium economy), Club World (business class) and First Class. The only way to make a British Airways First Class event even more special is to experience it on their Airbus 380 offering on select routes. We were able to gain access to this First Class offering on… Read More
The Alaska Airlines Bombardier Q400 make up the backbone of their Horizon Air Fleet. While it’s never too exciting to fly on a propeller plane, it is often a necessary and required experience in order to get to your destination. Today’s Alaska Airlines Q400 flight would have us shuttling from Vancouver to Seattle on a very short hop of less than one hour. Review: Alaska Airlines, Q400, Vancouver – Seattle We departed… Read More
The US Pre-Clearance area of the Vancouver International Transborder Departures Zone doesn’t have a lot of restaurant or lounge options. After clearing US Customs and Border Protection, you have two lounge options, the Plaza Premium Lounge Transborder Vancouver or the competing Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge. Our visit to the Plaza Premium Lounge Transborder would mark our most frequently visited Plaza Premium Lounge in our travels which makes the best of the… Read More
Air Canada recently recognized that they are able to offer a very strong competitive advantage in the form of a fully flat business class seat over its usual narrow body recliner seats. Air Canada has branded this as Air Canada Signature Class, promising an elevated end to end experience. How would it stand up on a westward trans continental route ? Review: Air Canada Signature Business Class B787-9, Toronto Pearson International Airport… Read More

Getting up early in the morning on family travel is never a fun experience. With our Alaska Airlines flight to Hawaii, we would have to make a double connection in Seattle and Portland prior to getting down to Maui, Hawaii, USA. We would start the day at 2:30 AM in order to make our 6:02 AM departure time. While it was an early departure, it actually ended up being alright thanks to… Read More
For the last flight in our South Pacific adventure, we had a short connecting flight home on American Airlines. While we were initially booked on their usual Embraer 175 aircraft that served this route, we were upgraded to an Airbus 319 before we travelled. We experienced a thin pre-departure First Class experience on this flight compared to the other carriers serving transborder routes, and a lost checked bag before the day was… Read More
