Being primarily a short haul flyer, even when the upgrades clear, a meal is not something to expect. Usually if there is anything offered, it is an item from a snack basket, and that is it. Anything more substantial is a surprise. Especially since my flights are always labeled as snack for first class. The flight from ATL-IAH was no exception, especially since they had downgraded it to the 737-500 from the -700. And I was surprised when taking drink orders that I ...
Yes, I know it has taken me a while to get around to posting this and completing my posts from Vancouver, but life has kept me busy, and I wanted to clear this out before I post some hotel reviews from my most recent trip.
Air Canada provides the best lounges of any North American Airline. Before starting this blog, I spent a lot of time at the Toronto trans-border lounge, and have also had the pleasure of enjoying the domestic lounge in Montreal. Along with this one, there are ...

As I was heading toward the exit at New Orleans airport yesterday, I saw this wonderful display.
Now I know that is not the greatest picture for seeing it, so I also took a picture of each shelf.
This is honestly one of the most interesting small displays I've seen at a small airport, and I genuinely hope they get to keep it with the merger, and even add some of the items from the United collection. For those who are interested in ...
The whole job change situation has put a crimp in my travel plans for the past few months, however I finally have some travel planned, and it just so happens that I get to experience a few new things, as well as an interesting opportunity. As I mentioned previously, I am a Royal Ambassador and have been trying to figure out a time to actually try out my status (only useful when you can justify the cost of the property and can go to a city where there is one). Fortunately, it ...
