This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

I m used to love flying Air Canada, not so much now. It was lovely, economy was lovely, hot towels, real cutlery and china, large, flavorful meals. Not anymore. Economy feels like you are in a holding bin. They also charge for crummy food in economy. Toronto airport has become a nightmare, lost luggage, long lines. I navigate it easier than most as I need a wheelchair. The only joy is people watching.

I wouldn't mind trying AC's a220 and porter's e2. I've been in the United club at DFW. It's small as well but looks nicer than the one in PHL and a good place to spend a couple hours.

Where did you get the information about which planes had which configuration? That is an impressive amount of research!

@tfft 4 ай бұрын

Don't remember exactly where- was based on knowing the first one to receive the newest cabin and then noting each tail delivered after that.

@fdanieln8759 3 ай бұрын

Very nice review! Just wondering, how did you find which fin had which layout? I have had a hard time finding which A330 still have the old config, I know its just a few, I found a flyertalk forum before but can't get clarity which has the new cabin now. We are on a PE flight on one in April. Other question, is any stat alliance business class ticket get you into the United Club? Thought the big 3 had weird loungs rules. Thanks for another amazing review!

@tfft 3 ай бұрын

I know AC didn't retrofit any of these and I also knew the date the first new cabin bird was delivered, so anything delivered from that date forward was the "good" one.

Kevin there would have been multiple Philadelphia to Toronto flights this was the days when US Airways🇺🇲 was in Star Alliance with Air Canada🇨🇦 which means you would have gotten the larger E-190/E-175s. If you want a proof of that you need a 2010 Hemispheres Magazine or an Enroute Magazine pre US Airways switch to Oneworld Alliance. The other way to get into a United Club is getting a non-us based Star Alliance gold that way you are allowed to access it both International and domestic. Example of it is getting the Air Canada Aeroplan🇨🇦 ANA Mileage Club🇯🇵 Austrian🇦🇹 Lufthansa🇩🇪 Miles and More Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus🇹🇭 Asiana Diamond🇰🇷Air China Shenzhen Airlines Phoenix Miles 🇨🇳 Eva Air Infintymileage 🇹🇼and lastly Singapore Airlines Krisflyer🇸🇬 Star Alliance gold tiers.

Hello, we have flown CRJ several times, but for us it is a flight from our city of Poznań in Poland to Frankfurt am Main to then fly to Cancun, the flight with this plane is ok for this route, i.e. about an hour, maybe it would be nice if Lufthnsa had a better service on short European routes. As for Cancun, we stayed at the Secrets the Vine hotel twice and I must admit that each time it was a very successful stay, I would love to see your review of this hotel, do you plan to visit it.

@tfft 4 ай бұрын

I will be visiting a Secrets this year, but not in Cancun. As for LH service, with their introduction of LufthansaCity, I'm afraid all of those very short routes are just going to see more and more cost cutting measures!
