Once you get through security, there is plenty of seating. Too bad they make you wait outside of security for so long. Our only other issue was with their "free" internet which was the pits, couldn't even get on because it was overloaded with the too many people trying to use it. Love those reclining seats though!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-18876750458052333342015-12-12T10:38:13.525-05:002015-12-12T10:38:13.525-05:00Yes, it is sad especially when we know there are s...Yes, it is sad especially when we know there are still places to see that we just never had the time to see.

They have some very good universities here and yes, it would have been considerably cheaper especially if you had gotten a good paying job with one of the American companies here.<br /><br />We vowed years ago to never take another taxi in either Canada or the US, they are way too expensive and usually not friendly.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-32507973829358893782015-12-12T08:43:44.920-05:002015-12-12T08:43:44.920-05:00It was an excellent price for the flight.

That is like going from Ottawa Toronto, and you would never get a price like that and even if someone could, the additional taxes would then be added.

The first time was on September 14th, 2001. We were on one of the first flights off the ground after September 11th, and the plane was pretty much empty. They let us sit in first class from Ottawa to Halifax.<br /><br />The second time was when we were flying Ottawa to New York City through Toronto. The Ottawa to Toronto leg was full and they asked us if we would wait an hour for the next flight and they would put us "up in the front" on that flight. So we did.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43426692630408070452015-12-11T09:13:00.505-05:002015-12-11T09:13:00.505-05:00It's always so nice to fly "up at the fro...It's always so nice to fly "up at the front", whether it's a surprise or not. Happened to me once when flying solo back from Aguadilla to Newark. They actually apologized that the flight was full, and would I be willing to fly First Class? Um, I was OK with that.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.com
