I'm off to see the Queen!

Posted on October 29, 2004 By admin 5 Comments on I'm off to see the Queen!

I'm going to see Katy during hte holidays, huzzah. Got my ticket freshly confirmed and all :D I will not even attempt to understand the mysteries of air travel. The flight I have is Ottawa->Toronto->London. It's 650$. If I do Montreal->Toronto->London on the exact same dates, it's 900$. If I do Montreal->Toronto, it's ~675$, but I can't really do that because of schedule constraints. It was a pain in the ass to find the sweet spot, date-wise. The day you're leaving seems to have a huge significance, but it's not always consistent. Also, the expedia website listed two exact same flights, dates and times, for two different prices. I don't get it, but it's not important anymore :D

My flight information:

Fri 24 Dec 2004

Ottawa (YOW) to Toronto (YYZ)
Depart 6:00 am
Arrive 7:10 am
Duration: 1hr 10min
Flight: Air Canada 479

Toronto (YYZ) to London (LHR)
Depart 9:00 am
Arrive 9:15 pm
Duration: 7hr 15min
Flight: Air Canada 868

Total distance: 6075 km (3775 mile(s))
Total duration: 8hr 25min (10hr 15min with connections)


Sat 8 Jan 2005

London (LHR) to Ottawa (YOW)
Depart 4:45 pm Arrive 7:20 pm
Duration: 7hr 35min
Flight: Air Canada 889

Total distance: 5362 km (3332 mile(s))
Total duration: 7hr 35min


Two little edits: yes, I'm leaving Ottawa at 6am. That means I need to be at the airport at 4am. That means I really shouldn't really sleep that night, cause I'll need to wake up at 2:30 am. Normally, flights to europe are in the afternoon, but I didn't want to land on xmas morning.

Edit #2: to all those people who sniggered because I always keep my passport in my bag, I say HA! I needed it just now to confirm something, so I say neener neener in your general direction.

    put it this way, I always know where it is. The day I store it, I'll forget about it and I'll need it… Don't ask, it happened once before.

    Oh and before I forget:
