Not Taking Off
My wife’s aunt, he family matriarch, turns 100 on Saturday. Naturally there will be a party, though, given her age, not a large one. My wife will be there. She’s been traveling for business and was able to arrange a stopover. Some other family members will be there too. I had thought of going too, […]
The Snack Bin
I wasn’t sure whether to be depressed or impressed. As I sat in my seat for my Air Canada flight I noticed the orange bin in the overhead compartment across the aisle. The airline has had a lot of issues with waiting times recently, not all its own fault. I took four AC flights in […]
Something Isn’t Right
The leader of the Official Oppositions says it feels like Canada is broken, and the federal government is to blame. Needless to say, the Prime Minister disagrees. When does a feeling become a reality? Whether Canada is “broken” or not, I don’t think it is hard to find many people who feel that it is. […]
Friendly Skies?
First flight – delayed. Secondflight – delayed. Third flight – delayed. Fourth flight – canceled. Is it any wonder I dislike flying Air Canada? These days though they pretty much have a monopoly on Canadian destinations. I could have found American alternatives for my recent trip to the US – at triple the cost. My […]
The Plane Not Taken

Waiting For A Plane XXIII – Toronto
In 2015 I spent a lot of time in airports. I shared my thoughts on those trips with you in a series of posts. I managed to get through 2016 with my feet firmly planted on the ground, but it looks like I’ll be collecting a few frequent flyer points this year. I think I […]
Waiting For A Plane XXI – Frankfurt
I’m writing this on the plane. No time to write from the airport waiting area like I usually do. It took 40 minutes to get from where our flight arrived from Basel to the gate where the flight to Toronto was boarding. No time to sit, no time to shop, just get through the passport […]
Lost Luggage
My uncle was able to threaten an airline with a police investigation when they lost his luggage. My wife couldn’t threaten that, which may be why her luggage still hasn’t arrived, five days after she flew from Toronto to Manchester (England, not New Hampshire). The impression I had was that Air Transat didn’t care. They […]
