When I flew to Thailand in September 2022, I had a chance to book part of my flight home aboard a Lufthansa A343 from SIN-FRA. I waited a couple weeks before booking the trip (and the flight) and by then, the itinerary I wanted had shot up by $1000 CAD, making it too expensive despite my wish to fly...
Jump to postNothing booked just yet, but I'm planning two trips this year. In May, it'll likely be YYZ-LIS-FNC with TAP Air Portugal, and YYZ-DEN in June with AC and/or UA. Unfortunately due to cost, I've replaced the trip to Portugal with a trip to the Dominican in May with Air Transat (YYZ-AZS). My June trip...
Jump to postI've got a fair few under my belt, largely on the YYZ-TLV route (which LY cancelled a few years ago, ostensibly due to pilot shortage coming out of the pandemic, despite the route being very profitable for them), but AC still flies it. My most recent flight aboard one was with JL in 2022. 7x LY (YYZ...
Jump to postI've flown Transpacific twice (on the same trip) with JL in 2022; first aboard the 77W from ORD-HND, and on the way home after my holiday on the 763ER from NRT-YVR.

Jump to postI'm pretty upset that LY cut YYZ-TLV after around 4 decades of operation, due to pilot and equipment shortages, despite the consistently full flights between the two markets. They instead expanded services to BOS, JFK, and ORD. The service discontinuation leaves AC with an absolute monopoly on the r...

Jump to postI've been using a navy blue Jetliner 2-wheel roller bag for checked luggage since at least 2012, or perhaps earlier. Suits me fairly well, though it is showing its age. My carry-on has been my sturdy backpack, which can convert into a roller bag. I've had it since high school.

I didn't see any directly, but I remember seeing the wreckage of AF358 the day after it crashed in August 2005. I was with my dad as he drove from work down the 401, and saw the right westbound lane slowing to a crawl. This was because that stretch was right in front of the ravine where the plane bu...

Going to have a couple instances of those on my upcoming trip to Koh Samui this September.
What nationality do you have since you are required to apply for a visa to enter Japan? Personally, I would just bring a good book, get cosy somewhere with some coffee and a snack or two, try a few restaurants, look at the airplanes, contemplate about your life and your plans for the future. Maybe ...
Jump to postI would definitely like to do some spotting if I'm going to be there for so long, so the Sky Lounge could be a decent option for part of it. 1050 Yen isn't bad (around $10 CAD currently).
