Trip Report: August 2013
Booking the Travel (This Post) Air Canada Business Class (Executive First) Vancouver to Tokyo Narita I’ve finally got time to start writing my trip report from my August 2013 trip.

International First Class for 10,000 miles per segment

United Honoring Zero base fare tickets!
Yesterday I wrote about the fares that United posted yesterday. They are honouring the fares, as per their Facebook page: Very consumer friendly move although the cynical part of me says that they honoured after realizing it would be more costly to manage the outrage/DOT/reaction if they did decide to cancel the tickets than actually…
