[QUOTE]Originally posted by royaltrain: [QB] Winter railroading is always a challenge particularly in cold and snowy Canada. Substantial delays on Via's Canadian are common in wintertime. Just last Tuesday The Canadian departed Toronto nine and a half hours late, yet it arrived in Vancouver two minutes early! Truly amazing what padding can do for timekeeping. So after last year's horrible experience in snowbound Seattle and the 25 hour late Coast Starlight (into LAX), and some really awful on-board employees I have decided that spending $3000 plus for drawing rooms and deluxe bedrooms and not receiving the service that kind of money should provide, I will give the airlines a chance. It has been 20 years since I last boarded an airplane, and given the fact that the most expensive ticket on Air Canada from Toronto to Las Vegas is half of what I paid Via and Amtrak, I hope that maybe I will have some sort of experience that may resemble to some degree the first class that airlines once provided (Air Canada has an "Executive Class" which is allegedly better than business class, but not up to the lavish standards of their old first-class). At least they are promising full meal service and unlimited complimentary cocktails and wine in the Air Canada lounges and on-board their planes. I may go back to Amtrak at some time in the future, but I just can't bear to put up with them through another dreadful winter. [/QB][/QUOTE]
