That’s so unfair
I can’t imagine this one being an overly proud export

Bye bye Newfoundland
We hardly knew you…
On the road again, er, sky…
Off to northern Germany for an, um, unhappy family gathering.
Flying Lufthansa – no, not biz, but the food and drink should be better than united, which doesn’t even give free adult beverages in economy to Europe.
Looking forward to a little lounge time, at the better intl Air Canada Maple Leaf Leaf Lounge
Just had an emergency landing in ORD
Weird noises when we took off from DEN time YYZ. Diverted to ORD, burned off fuel and landed to a nonstop chant of “heads down, stay down, brace, brace”
They told us it was a tire, but they certainly looked more interested in the engine:
A fine way to extend my 30 hour trip…
LH biz meals
Yummy… Salmon roll app
Sea bass main
Cheese trio dessert
And breakfast 3 or 4 hours later…
And yes, Baileys in the coffee!
On our way to northern Europe
Aboard in Lufthansa biz class on our way to ARN (Stockholm Arlanda) via DUS.
Almost lie flat seats for the overnight flight.
Inside the armrest is a little reading glasses holder (not that we have any) and a massage button. Next to headrest is an LED reading light.
Funny (wo)men washroom signs
At Dyne resto in Toronto
More duty free madness
In BOS, for AC flights out of Gates B1-3, the duty free store is pre-security. Oops. On the plus side, there are no full body scanners there.
In YYZ, going to the US on UA/AC in T1, you get to carry your duty free out of the store so no need to worry about buying early enough before the flight (this is a good thing)
And how is it that a Canadian whisky costs 7.5% less in ORD vs YYZ duty free store, when it’s made in Canada!? Makes you wonder which duties are “free” exactly.
Take that, United Club
Real – and healthy – food in the AC Maple Leaf Lounge
While I’m upgraded on 4 of 5 legs already, there’s no meal on this short first flight to ORD. I’m sure I’ll get the upgrade on the last flight too.
Hello sunny and warm San Diego!
