In this experience we are happy to come to you from the Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge at Vancouver International Airport. Vinod is returning to the air for the first time since February 2020 – making a splash with his first overseas flight since the summer of 2019.
Vinod shares his experience of booking the seat and the documentation he has had to produce during these times. He's in business class...we don't have to even ask which seat he has selected. (Hint...Seat 1A).
Vinod shares his experience of being back in the airport – from check-in to just sitting back and enjoying the lounge.
Vinod is on a flight just under ten hours from Vancouver – where will he arrive? We will reveal it to you in Experience 50. Since there is a 10-hour flight with mask wearing the entire time, Vinod shares a travel hack to save his ears. He advises of the changes to lounge food ordering currently in effect in Vancouver.
Geoff is also flying again after almost a year. He is experiencing an Airbus 220 for the first time on a Canadian domestic flight.
Time to board. Bon Voyage Vinod!
