Air Canada First Class

Just got back to Houston from a trip up to Montreal. I was fortunate enough to travel in one of Air Canada’s new Boeing 777 (one of less than four at the moment). I was riding up front in the new interior. Spacious, mood lighting was nice, seats are on par with the industry. Although, taking off sitting sideways was a little uncomfortable being pushed up against the hard plastic side.

Here are some shots are I boarded the plane.

Delayed Flight

Sitting back in the Houston airport waiting on another flight.  It seems that as of late I’ve been spending an increasing amount of time in the airport and less time at the office.  Which I don’t mind.  It just seems that more often than not my flights are delayed.

Today it is Air Canada.  Last week it was Continental and prior to that United.  So out of my last 3 flights, all three have been delayed.  I guess it is just something we need to get used to.  I’m thankful this time that I’ve found a power outlet and I have my EVDO card with me.  Makes the time go by a little quicker.

Houston Airport this morning

Sitting in the Houston (IAH) this morning waiting for my flight to Chicago and then over to Vermont so that I can pickup my car and drive up to Montreal.  So far this morning hasn’t been as bad as I expected.  Check in was easy since I carry a high status with United (no one in front of me) and security was about 15 minutes or so.  Not bad all things considering.

However, the check in lines for regular travelers was starting to backup and I expect that security will do the same.  If you’re headed to the airport today, might want to make sure you’re there at least 2 hours before your flight to get through the madness.

In Montreal for the US long weekend

I’ll be in Montreal Wednesday night through to Sunday night.  Hit me up on my Houston or Montreal cells to meet up if you’re also in town.
