Security fast track was a bit slower with every 4th or 5th bag being pulled out for secondary checks when I passed ...

Re: Irish 3/23: The March of time
Seems that Air Canada are axing some of their DUB-YVR-DUB flights for this Summer. That's a shame - any further details on this? Maybe a route EI could look at in the future. I have friends of mine working over there and they are coming back for a few weeks this Summer. They got cancellation notifi...
