Yes, it is the best lounge I have ever been to. Period. The lounge didn’t feel at all like a lounge, it felt like a small and elegant restaurant. And as a matter of fact for a second year in a row, the Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) has been voted Best Airport in North…
Yes, there is such a TV channel that shows … an aquarium – and nothing else as far as I watched – round the clock. I think it is a simple and brilliant idea. They say watching fish in aquarium can be a way of reducing stress (perhaps watching an aquarium on TV does not have the same effect…
It is an Air Canada site with … stories but you can ask questions too: Will you answer every question? Unfortunately, we won’t be able to answer every question that is submitted. We also won’t be able to address individual customer service issues here. If you have an urgent question, or one specific to your situation,…

Øystein Aarseth, a murdered musician of the black metal band Mayhem (I knew about ‘heavy metal’ but I didn’t know there was such a thing as ‘black metal’). Some of Mayhem’s songs: ‘Voice Of A…
I was in the airport and a book drew my attention, ‘Cruising Attitude’ by Heather Poole. There isn’t a better place to sell such a book but in an airport :). On top of the books there was a plastic ‘thing’ (I don’t know how to call it) with five travel tips from the book….
I was excited before checking in for the first time at a Radisson hotel with ‘Sleep Number’ beds. Usually I don’t sleep well and travelling every week just compounds the problem.
