    Words don’t express how disappointed I am At least it’s higher quality I guess.

    Jetbridges still not in operation. Florida routes start tomorrow, Mexico starts next week! Decided to dig into some of the load factors for tomorrow since my previous adventure made me curious. based on the available seats on the porter booking website; actual loads may be slightly higher Dec...

    My thoughts on the concourse layout: If you’re in the upper bowl or in the lower bowl sections 118-104, your food options are… terrible. I’m kind of suprised they didn’t make a small tunnel to connect the two ends of the street level concourse. It must suck if you’re at the end of it and having...

    Discussion with the FA, even the YVR load today was abysmal (45%). Looking at tomorrow, Halifax loads are soft as well. I recall when Flair was flying into YHM, they would have loads under 50% (I enjoyed my poor man’s business class a couple of times), flair even flew YKF-YEG a few times with...

    I can only hope these get going soon… Outbound YHM-YEG load is 41 (31%). Spoke with one of the ground crews, states this is the worst time of year for most airlines. Westjet loads also light. There have been some flights that were really bad load factor wise for PD. However, it is the calm...

    I try to do as well, I’m fortunately doing okay in this silent recession and can spend the few extra bucks to fly out of Hamilton. However, I do have some family facing budget tightness and will take the $40 savings per person by flying into Toronto and taking the GO bus back. I’m sure this is...

    Edmonton and Calgary also down from 6x to 5x weekly from January - March. Had a family member fly in last night from Edmonton, was told by the gate agent there was only 39 passengers on board. I fly out tonight to Edmonton and that seat map is looking…. Grim…. The summer PAX was strong but our...

    I think we may see more sport-related improvements once we get a permanent tenant. At this point, it’s PWHL vs AHL in what we get. Maybe both? A possible PWHL expansion team (they are expanding by 2-4 next year), or an AHL relocation (likely from Bridgeport). Once we get a permanent hockey...

    A wide shot of the terminal from the YHM facebook page. You can now see the two jet bridges installed. That brief 100m walk or so outside for international flights will still suck, but at least it's not as long as it was before. I'm flying out on Wednesday, I'm curious if the bridges will be...

    Something else to note, it appears that at the current moment, the floor suites won't be covered with extra seating during sporting events, so there will be quite the gap during those events, as I don't imagine floor suites would work well for events like hockey and lacrosse, especially with...

    Looks like the upper concourse along York Blvd Peak inside the Rogers club Seems like a majority of the food options will be payed via kiosks or will have AI systems which will require you to tap your payment method before entering where you can pick what you want and leave. All these...

    Some photos from inside the bowl as they prep for Paul McCartney. The black seats look great. Happy to see they kept the warm-toned lighting for the upper bowl, it looks slick. Kind of shocked they are keeping the hockey boards up for now, but I guess they are used as a barrier to separate...

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the scoreboard. My guess is that they want the scoreboard fully hidden from the public view during concerts and they want it small enough so it can fit right above the roof truss supports so it's out of view. It would be in theme with their...
