Air(less) Canada

No ventilation from the vents on this A-320.

It was entirely my fault that I arrived at SFO five minutes after the 60-minute-before-departure cutoff time. The seat I had arranged months earlier was given to a standby passenger and I wound up in a middle seat. At least I’d be able to turn the air vent full blast, which (for me) relieves some of the claustrophobia that comes with being squeezed between two strangers. But alas, barely a trickle of air escaped the vents on the entire Airbus 320. I fly a lot—a lot—and I’ve never been on a plane where you couldn’t open the vent and release a gush of cool air onto your face. Not this five-hour flight to Toronto. And nobody had an explanation…or an apology (hardly surprising for Air Canada, one of the surliest of all the airlines). I have never been happier to get off a plane.

  1. I know the feeling! Because of the recession, I’ve been forced to limit my traveling.  At first, I feared that this would hurt my web design business but I had to find creative ways to keep the wheels turning so-to-speak. Instead of spending thousands annually on air travel, I’ve been using web conferencing and telephone conferencing from a website at: http://www.24conference.com. I like traveling on business, I hate the expense!

  2. The type of situation that you experienced is one similar to one that I have as well that is why I only fly Charter Jets from now on. They are a little more expensive however, they make up for it in their performance and service.

  3. I would probably fly Air Canada since their aircraft are newer. Do you have a frequent flier account? If you do with Delta, then I would suggest Northwest. If you have a frequent flier account with United or US Airways, then I would go with Air Canada. You can earn mileage if you fly on a partner airline.
