You know who has more direct flights from Calgary? I'm sure there's a thread about that....

Yea but then how would you be able to enjoy the utopia that is Pearson. Every Canadian should have to pay homage to the centre of the universe every time they travel internationally.

When watching a youtube video, I'd rather look at a single static image for the entire duration of it than see the narrator's face for even a second.

If the flight has to go through Pearson I'll just stay home. No joke planning a Britain trip next year and basically planning based on direct flights out of yyc.

Another one for the screw Air Canada club.
We just recieved a notification that our direct flight to Cancun at Christmas has been cancelled due to pilot shortages.
Our ~10 hour travel day will now be 16+ hours...
The reason we chose Cancun was the direct flight as we have a 4 year old and 1.5 year old.
FML.

How is a direct flight from Calgary to Cancun a 10 hour travel day? Unless your resort is in Tulum or Cozumel…

[killramos]

Dunno

30 minutes to drive to airport
2-3 hours prior to flight
5-6 hours in air
1 hour fucking around on arrival
However long it takes to transfer to hotel ( never been but I hear this is not nothing )

~10 hours checks out.

2-3 hours prior to flight.

I’m used to hillbilly Sask airports for int flights, where you can show up 1 hour before and still have time to park, check luggage and have a shitty coffee. Calgary is probably a little more logistically time consuming.

Not if you have nexus. But travelling with a couple young kids makes everything take just a bit longer. It adds up.

Not mine, but a friend's.

When you book an Uber XL for your famiky of four to get to the airport, and the dude shows up in a 4-runner with captains chairs, and he can't take 4 people and 4 suitcases. So he tells you to book a 2nd, regular Uber, to carry 2 people.
Fucks sakes.

Isn't that the entire point of the XL? What did he end up doing?

[killramos]

Just checked Ubers site and the XL class seems hilariously watered down these days.

Cancel and go somewhere else?

The resort we have booked is absolutely perfect for our family otherwise we would.
They gave us other options, but they all sucked.
I've been looking forward to this resort almost as much as the 4 year old.
All good, we will survive, but screw AC.

Called a real taxi, they insisted on a full-size van (despite him requesting a mini-van, then the real taxi company took like an hour to arrive, and he was super late to the airport.
All in all, it was a mess. Two ubers would have been faster for sure.

I got a ride in a dodge durango once, and the driver told me it met the qualification for Luxury (leather seats) and XL, so they could basically take any ride that came up. Durango is about the perfect size for an XL too.

I wish Uber had an option that for $2 you could see the list of available vehicles and select one from that list.

Uber XL is seating for 6. I guess that excludes the Lariat, if I ever want to burn money.

But don't you love it when they ask you to 'like' or 'subscribe' and then point down? Class out the ass right there.

[killramos]

third row seating in a 4R is pretty hilarious to expose paying passengers to

Uber and taxis are playing out like WestJet and Air Canada.
