sapper1 Posted January 18, 2010 #401 Share Posted January 18, 2010 We're in Hampton, just moved the end of Nov. from the Truro area, originally from Fredericton!! It seems all of the airports are the same, if you are coming in from or going to Eastern Canada, be prepared for a lot of walking!! ;) I see you are going on the Oasis on the March Break. My sister and her husband, along with their daughter and her husband will be on the same cruise as you. They are from F'ton as well. ---So am I if you go back far enough.

realnurse2 Posted January 18, 2010 #402 Share Posted January 18, 2010 My Eagle Creek Vagabond purse arrived the other day and it is perfect for dealing with the new airline regulations.There are so many pockets I may have to make a master list to keep track of where everything is! There is even room for my knitting needles...and wool, of course.:rolleyes: Thanks Geriatricnurse for telling us about this. You are very welcome!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorekauf is three hours behind us here in the Atlantic Zone so she is still sleeping but I can't think of anyone who will be more pleased to hear this news when she wakes up.:D:D Now she just has to worry about navigating Vancouver Airport in time.

It is more than great, it's fantastic! I did notice that there are still measurement restrictions on carry-ons but I think a new bag I bought recently will do the trick. :) By the way, who did you contact in Seattle when you were organizing the M&G on the Eurodam in August? I think I may have volunteered to do the same in March. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Ya Cruiser Posted January 20, 2010 #418 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Not to put a damper on things.......but Air Canada has changed their baggage policy - if you booked your flights after December 23, 2009 you can only check 1 bag for free; the second bag now costs $30.00 (CDN/US). Thankfully we booked our flights early in December -hope everyone else did too. yaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YXU AC*SE Posted January 20, 2010 #419 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Not to put a damper on things but Air Canada has changed their baggage policy ... Yes, this was announced on 2 December 09 and is unrelated to the carry-on restrictions post-25 December 09. http://micro.newswire.ca/release.cgi?rkey=1712027279&view=13213-0&Start=20&htm=0 Scott.

m steve Posted January 21, 2010 #420 Share Posted January 21, 2010 stop allowing bags in cabin and then charge for each bag checked. Ain't free enterprise wonderful? Thank you AlQaida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted January 21, 2010 #421 Share Posted January 21, 2010 stop allowing bags in cabin and then charge for each bag checked. Ain't free enterprise wonderful? Thank you AlQaida. In actual fact, and to be fair, during the period when the US was preventing us from taking carry-on bags aboard flights to the US, Air Canada was checking the carry-on bags at no charge.
