Mini-Rant (on Hypothetical Travel)

Okay, so I know Air Canada is not the best airline for value. It can be a bit pricey at times but I have a point card and loyalty issues. But seriously, does this make any sense ( Read more... )

Airplanes are so spensive. So spensive.

Well, $312 isn't *that expensive*, it's the $1130 I can't abide by. *sigh* Airplane travel should be free.

Air Canada sucks. But I understand the loyalty thing.

Clearly we should buy personal jets. THEY leave whenever you want and go wherever you want. And how cool would it be to say "I just flew in on my private jet"?

See, I was just going to point out that the purchase cost of the aircraft itself is prohibitive, not to mention having to maintain and staff it. But then I just *knew* that you and Megan would see this as a prime opportunity to hire a cute waiter and pilot, and that you two would consider it money well spent.

Well, it would be my dead husband's money well spent.

You know, Jordan, I couldn't have said it any better myself!

I feel your pain. I'm looking for flights to Kathmandu right now. It's going to cost me 1500 return from Toronto, plus another 500-600 to get from Saskatoon to Toronto.

Bleagh. Bleagh, I say.

Oh my gosh, you are going to Katmandu!!! So jealous. It is on my list of things to do while I'm in this part of the world. I use the term "this part of the world" rather loosely.

VERY tentatively, yes. In May. I'm not so much going TO Kathmandu as I'm going THROUGH it.

I'll post details eventually, but for now I'm not giving out too many specifics as I need to secure monies.

I wish you all the best, Alex, I hope it works out for you. I look forward to those details.

Oh my gosh, that sounds like a wickedly adventurous plan! I was trying to see if there were ships that did transatlantic voyages that took passengers. How awesome would that be?

Step 4 is my personal favourite :P

I have a tendency to puke on planes... here's a quick comparison:

Plane 1
M: Ummm... I just puked in my little puke bag here, should I go throw it out in the washroom?
AC: Oh no! That's my job! Give it here. Do you need water, juice, anything?

Plane 2
M: Ummm... I just puked in my little puke bag here, should I go throw it out in the washroom?
UA: Ugh! Yeah... the bathroom's over THERE!

pie_lady November 17 2009, 03:24:04 UTC

Oh no! That sucks! I can't imagine puking in the little puke bag would be a pleasant experience.

AC definitely gets points, though :)

ladyequinox November 17 2009, 11:35:09 UTC

That's an awful story. So much for customer service, eh?
