Air Canada plans to fly between Tokyo-Narita and Calgary
18/08/11 | Forum post in reply to zqn1702

Well folks, while everyone has made very valid points there are some other comments I feel questionable. We returned to Canada via YVR from NRT in the fall of 2008 and again in 2010. On both occasions the connections in YVR (2008 to YYZ, 2010...

Aer Lingus to rejoin Oneworld?
16/09/10 | Forum post in reply to excessbaggage

Aer Lingus' return to full membership of One World would be most welcome. For goodness sake I hope they stay away from Star Alliance! Of course as long as they continue their trans-atlantic obsession with serving only one country, the...

USA Proposes $10 Visa Fee "To Promote US Tourism" (ESTA)
08/08/10 | Forum post in reply to VintageKrug

Great suggestion by VK although it would be much better if such a fee were applied to US passport holders only and not US originating passengers. More importantly perhaps is that a UK fee should be a reciprocal one and apply to all "international...

13/03/10 | Forum post in reply to eirtraveller

12/03/10 | Forum post in reply to eirtraveller

Aer Lingus an interesting transatlantic option for UK travellers
11/03/10 | Forum post in reply to eirtraveller

Unfortunately both Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta seem to have lost sight of the fact that not everyone destined for North America is heading for the United States. The lack of any scheduled Aer Lingus service between Ireland and Canada makes...

One million miles and 72 hours
28/02/10 | Forum post in reply to FlightDoctor

Hi Again Flight Doctor, To supplement the excellent suggestions by VintageKrug, even though it is a long haul subsonic, Barbados is well worth considering. While the west coast has long been the domain of smaller 3* properties catering...

One million miles and 72 hours
27/02/10 | Forum post in reply to FlightDoctor

Hi Flight Doctor, Sorry to see the lack of practical response, given your 72hr criteria. While First Class RTW is truly a great suggestion - if you have the time to do it, but 72 hours is not enough. As you you both love air travel,...
