A Copper or PEX Repipe is a course of action where the old piping in your home or a building are replaced with new ones. All water line fittings, stop valves and supply lines are exchanged. this normally ends up in stronger water pressure and a great deal better quality water.
Should I Repipe the house in Monte Sereno?
There are many reasons for why a person may want to replace the water lines of the home.
Galvanized piping are located in houses constructed in the 1980's. A galvanized pipe is an iron water line which is coated with zinc to be protected from corrosion. Regrettably the zinc coating slowly deteriorates over time exposing the iron material, then corrosion build-up.
Reduced Water Pressure – The reason why might be the restriction of the water flow caused by rust and corrosion build-up inside of the galvanized pipe.
Rusty Water – Rust usually finds it's way to the fixtures. This indicates an advanced stage of rust in your pipes.
Leaky Water Pipes – Leaks are most commonly resulting from corrosion of the galvanized pipes. Undetectable leaking can develop in the walls, inside of the attic as well as beneath the residence, generating the likelihood of severe damage to the property.
This style of plastic water line was very popular in the middle of the 70's to the mid 90's. It was viewed as the next plumbing technology advancement for plumbing and fittings. Polybutylene plumbing systems turned out to be installed in millions of homes prior to being judged as highly defective. Nearly 75% of properties built in this time period continues to have this kind of water pipe in the home.
Polybutylene pipes have an exceptionally small lifespan, considering that chemical substances in ordinary city-provided water makes it firm up and turn into brittle. The fittings frequently start leaking first, and then the water line itself.
Polybutylene water lines consist of flexible plastic pipe, grey when used inside and blue or black for outdoor usage. Various fittings are manufactured with plastic and metal. Insert fittings are then used to join up sections of polybutylene pipe.
More confidence when your piping system is dependable.
If you hire a plumbing technician or other provider to perform the job, it's quite possibly going to set you back more in the long term if you consider that you'll have to retain the services of a drywall repair business to replacement patch over the various repair points. Whenever you seek the services of a repipe company which includes a master patcher on staff such as Repipe Specialists, you will never be required to pay out extra money or valuable time getting your household back to original condition. From start to finish, the PEX and Copper repiping procedure normally takes merely 2 or 3 days.

Ingrid Hoffmann Wiki: Married, Husband, Single, Parents, Ethnicity, Net Worth
Everybody enjoys visiting eateries and tasting varieties of delicious food, but only few can create such taste with their own hands. And one among such personalities is Ingrid Hoffman who followed the footsteps of her chef mother and has now become a well-known restaurateur and television personality.
Career and Progression
Ingrid started doing modeling and acting at the age of twenty appearing in 16 telenovelas. Afterward, in 1985, she moved to Miami, Florida and opened a high fashion luxury boutique' La Capricieuse' in Miami's Coconut Grove.
Afterward, in January 1993, Ingrid opened a restaurant with her mother and two business partners. Ingrid got the inspiration of cooking from her mother who is also a trained chef. The restaurant soon became famous as the first restaurant in Miami with the feature of tabletop cooking on heated lava rocks.
In 2002 as she hosted a cooking segment on a Miami- area television show, she was offered a bi-weekly segment on the Spanish language morning show, ' Despierta America.' In 2005, she launched her own show ' Delicioso' on Direct TV. The show now comes on Galavision. Her another show 'Simply Delicioso' also runs on Food Network from July 2007.
Ingrid has also tried her hand in writing; her cookbook, 'Simply Delicioso: A Collection of Everyday Recipes with a Latin Twist,' was published on February 8, 2008, by Clarkson Potter.
What About Hoffman's Net Worth?
Ingrid has earned great popularity from her culinary career. There is no doubt that she has become a renowned personality. However, Ingrid has kept her private matters up to her only and hasn't revealed much about her financial income. Although her worth isn't disclosed, we can suspect that she has been successful to achieve a sophisticated life.
Is Ingrid Married? Or Still Single?
Being a secretive person, Ingrid perfectly hides all the details about her personal life. She loves to keep her private side away from the public eye and hasn't revealed anything about her relationship status. Since she hasn't disclosed much about her dating history and boyfriend, nothing much can be commented about her romantic life just yet.

Similarly, until now, there are not any hints of her married life so, it's not safe to say anything about her possible husband or spouse. Possibly, she prefers a single life and is happy with her profession. Currently, she is living in Miami, Florida enjoying her life and works.
Short Bio and Wiki
Ingrid was born on April 10, 1965, in Barranquilla, Colombia. Her age is 52 years old. Her birth sign is Aries. Talking about her parents, Her father Billy Hoffmann is a pilot and her mother Yolanda Ibarnegaray is a trained chef. She grew up in Cali, Columbia.

Company that pretended to be Google is shut down
Movette Ltd, a Manchester-based company which misrepresented itself as Google when selling a service has been wound up in the High Court.
Movette sold a service to manage the online 'Google My Business' listings of its customers. The company used the trading styles of 'Online Content Management Services' and 'OCMS' and continued the same or a very similar business to that previously carried on by Online Platform Management Consultants Ltd, which was wound up on 13 April 2015 on the grounds that it operated against the public interest.
The investigation found Movette Ltd had been the subject of a significant volume of complaints to regulatory bodies such as Action Fraud and Trading Standards during its two-and-a-half year trading history. These complaints, together with information gathered from customers during the investigation, established that the company:
misled customers by stating or implying that it represented or was affiliated to Google when in reality there was no such relationship;
misled customers by stating or implying that they had an existing contractual relationship with the company when there was no such relationship;
falsely stated or implied that customers would lose their existing services from Google if payment was not made to the company;
failed to make clear to customers that their contracts would automatically renew after 12 months and ignored or rejected requests made by customers to cancel; and
used debt collection methods which were offensive and threatening.
Movette Ltd charged a fee of between £199 and £249 for a 12-month contract. The company's financial records showed it received fees totalling £537,000.
Commenting on the case, Colin Cronin, Investigation Supervisor with the Insolvency Service, said:
"Movette used deceptive methods to persuade customers to sign up for its service, including stating or implying that it represented or was connected to Google.
"The company then made it difficult for customers to extract themselves from rolling contracts and used debt collection methods which were coercive and intimidatory.
"These proceedings show that the Insolvency Service will take firm action against companies which operate in this manner.
"I would urge any business which is contacted by cold-call and invited to sign up for a Google My Business listing to make full enquiries into the service being offered before entering into any agreement. Google My Business is, in fact, a free service which allows businesses to enter and update information with the intention of marketing themselves to users of the search engine."

Almost 2 months ago....whaaaattt?! I'm so behind. Anyways, on Jan. 19th we went to Cabo with The Patel's and The Kliegl's. The 6 of us had been planning this trip since August...and then it almost didn't happen, for us at least. My mom was supposed to come out but unfortunately got really sick and couldn't make the trip. My main concern was her health, and of course at one point wondered if I should head to Michigan. Everything ended up being ok with her, just a long recovery. Aunties Kristen and Kerry (literally like family) stepped in and watched the girls for 4 whole nights while we escaped to a much much needed (kid free) vacation.
We flew out of Santa Rosa which is always super convenient. We left at 6:00am and were quiet possibly the most annoying people at the airport. Three couples traveling without their combined 6 kids all under the age of 4...yep we were a tad excited. And Charlie Sheen was on our flight from LAX! The quick flight got us into Cabo by noonish. Our private driver stopped at the closest liquor store to pick up a case of beer, because you know we couldn't wait until we got to our all inclusive hotel.
We arrived to the Secrets Los Cabo with glasses of champagne and cookies in the gorgeous lobby and all got suckered into upgrading to the swim out rooms, which was 100% worth it. We immediately got our suits on and partied in our swim up pools. We talk a walk down to the beach and the boys without even thinking ran into the ocean...we quickly got scolded by the security guards because it was black flag conditions with crazy rip currents. Needless to say by dinner that evening we were all pretty toasty, especially the boys :) We ate at the Asian restaurant, sake and all.
Our first full day we lounged by the pool all. day. long. Just what we wanted and needed! Micaela and I did a little water aerobics but that was the extent of our activity. That night we ate at the Seafood restaurant. Meanwhile at home, Lily got a 'spa' night with the Aunties...so cute!
The next day we lounged by the pool again...while the boys golfed. By this point we had met our favorite 'cabana boy'-Jorge. That day also had really fun entertainment by the pool...traveling band, drinks out of melons and coconuts, and water aerobics-we just watched this time. The boys were hot and a tad tipsy after golf (one of the best courses they claim to have played though). We ordered up some drinks and headed to the hot tub before getting ready for dinner. That night we opted for the Italian restaurant.
Our last full day we...you guessed it...lounged by the pool. Oh and Rollie and I got a couples massage. That night we rounded out our trip appropriately at the Mexican restaurant. At home the girls were getting spoiled with breakfast at Big Bottom Market. The six of us just get along like we've known each other for 20 years. So easy and effortless. We don't know what we would do without them in our lives.


Sitting idle during traffic jams on U.S. highways keeps the equivalent of 425,533 truck drivers sitting idle for a year, according to a 2018 ATRI study.
Trucking speeds dropped an average of nearly 9 percent in 2018 because congestion worsened along the nation's busiest freight roadways, the American Transportation Research Institute reported in its annual study of traffic bottlenecks.
The worst chokepoint in the nation was the intersection of Interstate 95 and State Route 4 in Fort Lee, N.J., where the 2018 rush hour speed was 23 mph, down almost 8 percent from 2017.
The ranking was based on speed and how many trucks are affected by the slowdown. Three of the top 10 most congested locations were in the Atlanta area. The I-285 and I-85 interchange, known as Spaghetti Junction, had been the top bottleneck for three consecutive years.
ATRI's Top Truck Bottleneck List uses global positioning satellite data from nearly 1 million heavy trucks and data from trucking operations to rank the effects of congestion at 300 locations on the nation's highway system.
"ATRI's research shows us where the worst pain points are – but they are far from the only ones," said Chris Spear, chief executive of the American Trucking Associations. ATRI Is the association's research arm.
In a study last year, ATRI found that waiting in traffic jams on U.S. highways keeps the equivalent of 425,533 truck drivers sitting idle for a year.
"For UPS, if all of our vehicles are delayed just five minutes a day, every day, it costs our company $114 million a year," said Rich McArdle, president of UPS Freight.
ATRI's goal in creating the list is to help federal and state transportation officials prioritize where to spend money for infrastructure improvements.
After the chokepoint at I-290 and I-90/I-94 in Chicago was named the No. 1 bottleneck in 2011 and 2013, Illinois decided to improve conditions. It ranked seventh on the study released this year. Rebecca Brewster, ATRI President, said it would drop from the Top 10 once construction is completed.
Some trucking companies have switched the methods by which they pay drivers when their routes regularly encounter long traffic delays.
Carriers such as Cowan Systems are trying to figure out how to compensate drivers for congestion. Many of Cowan's trucks travel through the heavily congested five boroughs of New York and across the George Washington Bridge at Fort Lee, N.J.
Texas led all states with 13 of the Top 100 most-congested interchanges, followed by California with seven. Connecticut, Georgia and Washington state had six each.


What are your solutions for "clean" selfies? I mean, whenever I try to make a photo of myself, I can't find a place with a clean, not cluttered background. For "small area photos" I use either a yoga mat (on the floor), a piece of paper (on the window sill), or a door. But what about "full-length" photos?
Have you tried pinning a white bed sheet hanging over a doorway?
Then it's easy to remove the background. For just one picture you could use Gimp or similar but I'm using Natron as it also works great for video.
Putting yourself in front of a white wall can also work, in that case make sure the wall is evenly lit (no shadows) and then key it out with a hue or luma keyer. Green works better because it's the farthest away from skin tones as possible.
That's a very good and affordable solution! 3x6m chromakey canvas can be quite useful indeed.
(30 Jun 2017, 06:03 )Anne Wrote: Green works better because it's the farthest away from skin tones as possible.
Unless you are wearing something what is far from the skin tone. And since my skin is almost always covered ... Possibly a white backdrop is better?
If you are planning to use a white backdrop be advised that reflections, like in latex clothing, are also white so then you will get transparent patches which require manual work to exclude them from the key.
HOWTO evenly lit your backdrop: Go to Gamma/Brico/Hubo/... and buy 4 big fluorescent tubes with a mount for each, a decent length of cable and 4 plugs. Assemble all that. Then use 2 of the tubes to light your background, put one on the far left, one on the far right around 1 meter from the backdrop and point them at the backdrop, if the lamps don't lit evenly place them farther away or put some transparent paper/fabric over them to difuse the light. Then put the remaining two lights a meter/ 1.5 meters apart in front of you. You need to stand a decent distance away from the backdrop to prevent hard shadows, 1 meter should be ok so you'll be standing between the 2 lights that light the backdrop. The two other lights that are there to light the subject (aka you) are in front of you. Set up your camera on a tripod, adjust whitebalance and start shooting.
I have 2x4 of these as normal room lights, then 4 as additional lights mounted vertically when shooting.

We have our NG F80 VPN configured (by Barracuda Tech Phuc) and it works fine. I installed agents on Laptops (Windows 10) for users to connect to our network (Server 2008 r2) to get to their own internal shares and applications as configured in our Active Directory while they are away from the office as required. This also works fine. HOWEVER... the PROBLEM is when the network share resides on an Active Directory server, no user can connect to said share(s) using the VPN tunnel, not even ADMINs. In the office everyone with rights connects without issue (especially admins). The same share and security created on a NON-AD Server, connects fine. We have 2 AD servers on this domain. Using a Hotspot (to mimic external access) on a laptop with the 5.0 AGENT and logged on as an administrator (rights to EVERYTHING) can not even reach the share on either AD server. Can anyone offer any solution (aside from moving the 200 gig folders to a NON-AD server)? The support tech assigned to this case is clueless and offering garbage for an answer.
Try these steps to figure out if it is a networking or a windows configuration issue. The firewall cannot tell if the user is in the domain or not, that is handled by Windows.
Then check the FIREWALL > Live page - access the share again and look at the State column of the connections. If traffic is not flowing both ways, routing between the server and the client IP in the Client-to-site VPN may be the issue or an access rule blocking this traffic. Check the connection object on the access rule allowing access from the C2S VPN to the server. If this is the case fix routing, or use source NAT on the access rule allowing clients access.
If none of these things are the issue, it is most likely an Windows/AD issue.

Queer Race
Cultural Interventions in the Racial Politics of Queer Theory
by Ian Barnard (Author)
Textbook XII, 148 Pages
Series: Gender, Sexuality, and Culture, Volume 3
One of the first extended and theoretically informed investigations of queer theory's racial inscription, Queer Race understands race as inextricably sexualized, as sexuality is always racially marked. The book critically and playfully explores intellectual and political deployments of the term «queer», gay pornographic videos about South Africa, contemporary literary representations of interracial gay desire, the writings of Gloria Anzaldúa, and Jeffrey Dahmer's criminal trial. Through these explorations, Queer Race charts a framework for understanding the «race» of queer theory that both tests queer theory's limits and suggests its future inter-relations with anti-racist work.

Thank you Carmel for taking part if this interview for Office Mum blog – so let's start with the basics – could you tell me how many children you have and their ages?
Thank you so much for inviting me over to your lovely blog! I'm a fan.
I have two children, Amelia who is 3 & ½ and Nate who is almost 2. I also am a stepmother to Eva who is almost 11.
And now could you tell give me a little background your work situation – the career you had before becoming an author?
I came from a Sales and Marketing background where I worked for a company called 3M Ireland for over 10 years before I made the decision to become a fulltime mother.
What kind of hours did you work then and how does it compare with now – do you get to do much writing during the day?
I worked quite long hours when I was in Sales. It goes with the territory, which in my case in 3M was big! I managed accounts throughout Ireland and would spend quite a bit of time every week on the road, visiting clients.
However looking back, it was a breeze compared to the hours I put in now as a full-time mother and author!
As for writing now, things have actually gotten a little bit easier since Amelia started pre-school in September. She goes in 5 mornings every week. We also took the decision to place Nate in playschool 4 mornings a week, so that means I have 4 mornings to myself to write!
Once they come home at lunchtime, the laptop is closed and its time to be Mummy again. I do write in the evenings too, once they are in bed.
Did you have the flexibility to work from home or work part-time – was it a family-friendly employer?
Actually yes, 3M were very family orientated. However, the problem for me was the fact that I had to travel so much in my sales role, which meant that I wouldn't get to put my children to bed every night. I can remember going back to work after my maternity leave on Amelia ended and crying the whole way into the office. Every day. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do and I knew pretty quickly that it wasn't going to work for me. So I decided to become a full-time mother.
Do you have to travel for work now, to promote your book?
Since I signed the book deal with Harper Collins I've gotten very busy. There were quite a few radio and tv interviews, that meant I had to do some day trips.
I have also been booked to do some public appearances over the coming months, (book readings, guest talks) but in this case, I am really looking forward to them. It's a great opportunity for me to meet people who love to read.
It's only once every few weeks too, so very doable with the children.
On a practical level, what did you find most difficult about balancing work and home when you were working in your previous job?
I don't have enough hours in the day. But I think most working mothers would say the same thing wouldn't they? I've had to be strict that when the children are in childcare and switch my mind off from the mountain of laundry that needs to be done or the floor that needs to be mopped. It's difficult, because when you are working from home, it is hard not to say, I'll just do this quickly before I start writing, only to find that you've lost an hour of the precious time allocated for it.
I try hard not to compromise the kind of mother I want to be, by not letting work encroach on the children's time. But inevitably, deadlines need to be met and of course I feel rubbish for letting work seep into my precious time with the children, but that's life!
Housework is an issue. There always seems to be a backlog of laundry and ironing. I feel guilty a lot of the time that I'm not managing to keep the perfect house. But something has to give!
And do you suffer from working-mother guilt?
I think it's impossible for us women not to feel guilt. It's inbuilt isn't it? I find myself feeling guilty most days and I get annoyed with myself then for that. Because after all, part of the reason that I write is to make a better life for my family. When I have a deadline to meet for my publisher, I have to work at weekends. I hate this, because that's supposed to be family time with my husband and children. But it's inevitable. I don't have the luxury of writing 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, because with children you never know what is in store! Last week my son had a bug and that meant I didn't do any writing for two days. So then I felt guilty about not getting any writing done. It's a vicious cycle.
That's a tough question, because I think that there isn't one answer that will suit everyone.
Every family has different needs, so I think they have to find the right balance for their situation.
I have to admit that I am feeling very lucky right now with my work/life balance. I get to fulfil my creative side most mornings and fulfil my maternal side outside of that. It's not perfect, but it's close.
I actually wouldn't change a thing now. I have always wanted to be an author and to have fulfilled that dream this year is pretty incredible. If I was being totally greedy, I'd politely ask to have my novel become a bestseller!
Elicit help wherever you can get it!
Stop feeling guilty, you are doing great and I know you are being way too hard on yourself, because that's what we do!
Carmel, your story is so inspiring – to write a book while being at home with your children and have it published is a fantastic achievement. It's also reassuring that you face the same challenges as the rest of us!
Thank you for taking part in this interview and the very best of luck with your future best sellers!
Carmel's book Beyond Grace's Rainbow is available to buy on Amazon/ iTunes/ Kobo and all eRetailers for £3.99/ €5.99. It was released on paperback on November 14th and can be purchased on Amazon.co.uk for £6.99 or in bookstores.
She really is an inspiration – it's actually like something from a book!
I am really loving this interview series, and Carmel's Story is particularly inspiring!

Overall score based on 2,838 reviews
Pros: "Great crew and counter staffing. Only took about 10 minutes to get my ticket and half of that was due to some snag with the NZ visa details."
Pros: "GREAT CREW, THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD. VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL."
Cons: "Ground personnel could have been way more helpful. We came back from Europe and needed to take a domestic flight to Palmerston North.We had a lot of handluggage that was allowed in our international flight, we had purchased an extra suitcase ticket to make sure it wouldn't be a problem. The lady that helped us was not willing to include any more items than 1 small suitcase that weighed only 11 kg, but we had paid for 23 kg. When we wanted to board the airplane we were told we could only take 7 kg each. Which caused problems and stress that we couldn't use after a 40-hour flight from Europe. We discussed this with the lady at the counter which wasn't really helpful to start with, but eventually, she let us board the plane anyway after we had to explain our situation a few times, and after she asked us to weigh our extra items, which of course we're more than 7 kg. We were pleased that at least she let us board our plane in the end. Hopefully next time we won't encounter the same problems."
Pros: "Air NZ sent my mom away when she arrived to board the plane because she could not hear well. This resulted in a 68 year old women spending the night at Heathrow. No apologies, no upgrades, nothing. Air New Zealand is a heartless discount airline. Terrible experience. Avoid."
Cons: "Air NZ sent my mom away when she arrived to board the plane because she could not hear well. This resulted in a 68 year old women spending the night at Heathrow. No apologies, no upgrades, nothing. Air New Zealand is a heartless discount airline. Terrible experience. Avoid."
Pros: "Easy flight."
Pros: "The plane was very comfortable. With decent leg room and nice seats. The in flight entertainment was excellent. As was the crews efficient and professional service. Top star"
Pros: "Food was reasonable and staff as amazing as ever."
Cons: "The flight was extremely packed making the experience a bit less comfortable. The transit through LA was chaos, although and explanation was given including an apology."
Cons: "They need to bring around water more often. And actually offer it to people in the window seat."
Cons: "Air New Zealand needs to get onto the TSA Precheck program and the agent at check-in (in the biz line) started scolding me for not meeting the economy baggage allowance (only 1 small 7kg carry on), but everything else was perfect. Best biz class flight I've ever had, mostly because of the cabin crew"
Pros: "food and crew service"
Cons: "Business class Seats are uncomfortable, cushion is not that soft, sides are narrow and too tall, hard square arm rest on the right, drink tray is behind your shoulder, hard to fasten seat belt. Ride was very rough in both directions. Not worth the price paid."
Pros: "Excellent movies available. Decent food, regular water service, and pleasant staff. Will definitely look to fly Air New Zealand again."
Cons: "Not enough legroom. But I'm 6'2, so it's the same on all airlines."
Pros: "Entertainment was great, food was great, and the overall flight experience was better than the first time travelling this airline. Airhosts/esses we're very polite as well. Would try it again soon!"
Cons: "Airhosts/esses took a long time to pick up our trays after our meal."
Pros: "The airport was great! Very easy access, fast check in and security. Loved the LOTR theme. Uneventful and beautiful flight."
Cons: "Everything was great"
Pros: "same as above"
Cons: "unalbe to select seats so we were spread out"
Cons: "I added Luggage 16.5kg and they charge $130 AUS.The weak point is they are not showing luggage when we booked."
Pros: "After the schedule for my Houston flight was delayed by 3 1/2 hours, customer service was able to put me on a flight thru LAX which got me back to my original ORD arrival time and avoided an overnight stay before continuing on home. The meal vouchers offered were an unexpected bonus. Thanks."
Cons: "Foot space in front of seat was limited."
Pros: "My Dreamliner my seatmate the CREW! Flight attendant even made balloon for a little girl in shape of a dog!"
Cons: "Loved everything"
Pros: "Everything. A modern comfortable plane. It's embarrassing for airlines from America because they pale in comparison. I would gladly pay $100 more and fly in style IN COACH! Can't wait for the return flight."
Cons: "I am vegetarian so should request veg option meals"
Pros: "The crew were delightful. Nice cup of tea and a magnificent day for flying."
Pros: "Attendants were friendly. The agent at the gate rerouted my flight after my initial flight was delayed. She explained she did that so that I could make my international connection in time."
Pros: "Comfortable"
Pros: "Although I'd like to see the seats upgraded to ones adjustable to lie flat seats without getting up and several steps, the crew on the Air New Zealand flights make the difference. What a PLEASANT experience. Great passenger service boarding to landing."
Cons: "Once made, the lie flat seats are extremely comfortable. However, it's a bit of a hassle to get the bed made. Also the seats don't offer as much privacy as seats on other carriers (AA, UA, LH etc). If they changed the seats, the airline can compete with any other, as the crews are superb."
Pros: "The seats are super comfy and the staff are lovely and very attentive to ones needs. The only down fall would be that I had to pay for movies and a meal wasn't included with my flight, but that's minor. Also, baggage cost me 120.AUD for one bag! I thought that was pretty outrageous for one check in bag. But the pilot was very good and informative as the overall flight was smooth. Thanks again air New Zealand."
Cons: "Over priced check in bag. Due to it not being according to weight. Ridiculous."
Cons: "They charged $120 per checked bag- none are included in airfare. Also, no free food."
Pros: "The crew, food, entertainment made the flight comfortable"
Cons: "I felt I was gouged on my 2nd bag fee with an outrageous cost of $200.00 aud or $150.00US. It only weighed 20lbs. as well."
Pros: "Air New Zealand check-in as well as counter personnel were professional and courteous."
Cons: "Booked through Kayak with what I thought was an equivalent Expedia ticket but was horrible surprised when I checked-in. Two other fellow travelers booked flight VA 7516 through Expedia for $218 (USD) one-way. I was able to open the same flight / departure time / price with Expedia but could not book. I then switched to Kayak and located this same flight (as I wanted to travel together with them), and it was for approximately same price. Upon check-in I was told it would cost $120 to check my luggage in (which I reluctantly paid). They indicated my ticket did not include this. I later discussed this with my two travelers and their check-in luggage plus a meal were included with their Expedia (Virgin Australia) ticket. Why was my Kayak (Virgin Australia) ticket so different from Expedia when our bookings were done about the same time? I no longer trust Kayak for future bookings."
Pros: "Flew spaceseat home and loved it to pieces. Tired so fell asleep for main course. Remote gate boarding but that is LAX's airports fault. Crew are brilliant as always. Good to chat. Smooth flight home - yay!"
Pros: "Boarding and service were attentive, entertainment excellent"
Cons: "The seat space is little cramped even for a relatively slim 5'11". Food taste was below airline average."
Pros: "The friendliness of the crew."
Pros: "Wasn't too cold. Entertainment was good, needed more newer show/ movie options,"
Cons: "The touch screen wasn't working and was very slow, seats weren't comfy, felt like we were all squished together."
Pros: "Excellent service, seats, big screen, etc ✅"
Cons: "Food was okay."
Pros: "Everyone on the plane acted like they were doing you a favor by flying with them more than likely we won't use them again ... kinda of like Frontier airline"
Pros: "Seats, blankets, entertainment system and service was solid. Food was also good, not great, but included in fair which is nice. Cabin Crew were a delight."
Cons: "I needed to receive a boarding pass in person, could not receive a digital one before arriving at LAX."
Pros: "The inflight seatback entertainment."
Cons: "Tiny seats and no snacks or drinks in flight."
Pros: "Flight had gluten free meals. Crew was professional"
Cons: "45 minutes late so missed connecting flight. While anz booked me on the next flight, international flights shouldn't be that late"
Pros: "Loved the crew, and entertainment options"
Cons: "Very little space in the aisle and between seats"
Pros: "Not very much"
Cons: "Cramped and squeezed in for a miserable flight."
Cons: "We were booked on a 7 a.m. flight Wednesday morning. We arrived from Syndney the night before and wanted to make sure we were set for the early morning flight so went to an Air NZ information desk to get boarding pass. The agent printed out an e-ticket and said we were good to go. We arrived an hour and a half early to the gate, with our carry on bags as we have done all over the world. We heard an announcement about bags needing to be checked and assumed ours would be gate checked if needed (as anywhere else in the world). The gate agent didn't arrive til 20 minutes before the flight and told us we DIDN'T have a boarding pass and needed to return to the ticket agent and check our bags. By the time we ran back to the ticket agent we were told it was too late to check our bags. We had to pay $100 more a piece to fly LATER through Christ Church. We were on our way to meet our kids for vacation and ended up losing a day and $200 additional dollars because we were given inaccurate information by the Air New Zealand info desk."
Pros: "The food was good, the accommodation, although it been a long flight everything was allright"
Pros: "Free cookie!"
Pros: "Service and attitude superb"
Cons: "comfort and seats. On the flight back, although crowded, it would have been nice to have the assistance that 3 large guys could have used to find a seat. Spent the entire flight sweating between two large gentlemen. Luckily, they were polite and we all managed."
Pros: "Tons of free movies."
Cons: "As a vegan I didnt think the food was great. But they did have food for me to eat so that was nice."
Pros: "Check in process was very good"
Cons: "Staff is not necessarily as attentive to individual needs as they could be. Many oversights in service. Also, the sound on my video speakers was distorted (loud screeching) that ruled out any chance to watch any movies on this long flight."
Pros: "Everything was perfect"
Pros: "Significantly more leg room than other competitors! Even with the person's chair reclined in front of me, I was still able to be comfortable. The staff were excellent, the food was as good as can be (given that it is airline food), the choices for entertainment were great. Lots of overhead storage!"
Cons: "Some of the screens need to be refurbished. The person in the seat behind me had to jab at their screen to make it work (or perhaps they were too lazy to be conscientious?). Mine worked fine but I had to be very cognizant to leave my finger on the screen rather than poke."
Pros: "Clean. Enjoyed the entertainment."
Cons: "We took off at 7:30 and were given wsaer. Did not receive food for two hours which would have been fine if we could have had a coffee, tea, cocktail or a wine. We're not offered a drink until after food was served."
Cons: "I got upgraded to business :)"
Pros: "The flight crew was very friendly."
Cons: "The seats were too cramped."
Pros: "Slightly better seats & slightly more leg room than other airlines. Crew was pleasant and efficient despite 12+ hour flight with turbulence."
Cons: "Too close to "neighbors" ie seats too close together--it is hard to eat without poking or being poked by the person on either side...even when seats are in upright position."
Pros: "Seats were comfortable and adjustable with tons of legroom. There was a bottle of water at our seat when we arrived, real pillows, and no more than two seats side by side. Bean bags to rest your feet on was a great touch."
Cons: "Touch screen system on entertainment system was very sluggish and unresponsive"
Pros: "aisle seat"
Cons: "no food...not even orange juice."
Pros: "The crew was good. The problem was our Qantas flight from Auckland New Zealand, to Sydney, Australia, to San Francisco, to Seattle didn't sync with Alaska Air. We arrived in San Francisco after a very long flight. We had gotten our boarding passes in Auckland. When we went to board in SF, there was a glitch and they wouldn't let us board. It took a long time to get that fixed. We missed our flight (with our luggage on it), and had to wait several more hours. Plus Alaska Air had cancelled a flight mid morning and the trickle down result was many people were stuck and waiting on flights. Then we had to wait for a crew to come, then they found something wrong with the plane so had to get in a new plane. It was a long and hard day for everyone."
Cons: "I don't know how you sync airline tickets but if they had synced as they were supposed to, none of this would have happened."
Pros: "Affordable non-stop flight."
Cons: "Relatively long flight with no substantial snack."
Pros: "Crew were attentive and courteous."
Cons: "Arriving in New Orleans was chaotic. The airport was fresh off renovations. FAIL! Reader boards for baggage claim were inoperative, so no one understood where their bags might come out. After an hour, we found ours and made our way towards what used to be rental car check in. Found there was now a shuttle bus system to get to rental counters, but waited in line outside with our three bags for 30+ minutes just to get on the shuttle. After a 15-minute ride, we finally arrived at the old rental check in/garage area. Bottom line, it took over two hours from arrival to finally being able to leave the airport."
Pros: "Crew was amazing. I got sick and they took care of me and even had medics make sure I was okay"
Cons: "Great Boarding staff"
Pros: "Amazing crew, super helpful"
Cons: "Less turbulence"
Pros: "Crew was amazing."
Cons: "Internet issues through most of the flight."
Pros: "Smooth, comfortable flight that was a bit ahead of schedule!"
Cons: "The flight was severely delayed due to inadequate staffing"
Pros: "Crew was attentive to a couple of issues with families (not my issues, but could have affected customers traveling alone adversely)."
Cons: "Plane was delayed in Seattle, but there was no notification from Alaska. I found out through Kayak and didn't have as short a connection as I thought I would."
Pros: "The crew was great. Seats... not to comfortable."
Pros: "The plane was warm"
Cons: "My flight was delayed for almost an hour"
Pros: "Crew. Punctuality. Drink Service Frequency."
Cons: "Didn't discover until mid air that app needed to watch in flight entertainment via phone/laptop had to be downloaded before take off. Also would have appreciated staff asking the family of 10 (7 small children, 3 adults) to be more courteous of surrounding patrons"
Cons: "Boarding via bus to plane. Delays due to mechanical issues at both departure and arrival. Staying on the plane while maintenance is performed. No complimentary snacks or drinks after losing value on ticket price."
Pros: "Upgraded to first class. Ample legroom would be an understatement. Great staff, great service and very good food. Almost needed an operating manual for my "Lazy Boy recliner"!"
Pros: "Great crew, professional and plenty of leg room on what appeared to be a newer plane."
Cons: "Seats were extremely uncomfortable, I felt like a jerk if I reclined. Plane was roughly 30min late and then we had to sit and wait in line to take off for another 30 or so minutes. Not Alaska's fault, more like SeaTac is just a mess right now."
Pros: "We really liked our trip with Alaska Airlines, they offered free WiFi on board and free entertainment, flight attendants were super nice"
Cons: "Food is not so great as in most of airlines but at least they had vegan box"
Pros: "Flew into New Orleans even though tropical storm was approaching nearby"
Cons: "Gate change without notification to me by email"
Pros: "New plane from merger with virgin America. Best domestic first class I've been in. SFO to MSY nonstop. No delays. Early. Even the food was good."
Cons: "Nothing to mention."
Pros: "Interactive screen! Able to text passengers on flight and order food and drinks from your seat."
Pros: "Alaska air provided great service- comfortable plane!"
Pros: "The attendants are great."
Cons: "Seating is Cramped"
Pros: "The Captain of this flight did an awesome land g in Ketchikan, AK. The runway is short and this was the smoothest touchdown for a landing ever! Thank you whoever the Captain was!!!"
Cons: "The only part I could honestly say was I wish I booked an earlier flight to see Ketchikan from above prior to landing."
Pros: "Quick flight and comfortable seats."
Cons: "The chicken salad sandwich was okay."
Pros: "Liked the free entertainment app"
Pros: "I'm a big fan of Alaska Airlines' partner Horizon Airlines. I travelled from Edmonton to Seattle last night. All the staff if pleasant and treats you as a valued customer. Also, having a free glass of beer doesn't hurt either."
Pros: "I flew from Seattle to New Orleans and everything was smooth and easy. The crew was friendly and we arrived fairly early."
Cons: "Care taker"
Pros: "On time."
Pros: "They left and landed early! The staff was pleasant and very helpful."
Pros: "The crew was friendly and the ride was smooth all the way. Easy to fall asleep to in fact."
Cons: "The Cheez It snacks were a little flavourless."
Pros: "never booking with alaska airlines again"
Pros: "Happy to now have a direct flight from SEA to SBP!!"
Pros: "The short flight."
Cons: "The noise from the propeller and engine."
Pros: "the airplane interior"
Cons: "no movie screening"
Cons: "I had to buy another ticket during my trip."
Pros: "My bag made the transition between flights in time and I was surprised to be able to pick it up in Missoula. Kudos to the baggage handlers."
Cons: "I flew from Edmonton to Seattle and Seattle to Missoula. I had an hour between flights in Seattle. The plane was late arriving in Seattle. I had to run to make my connection and was the last person on the plane, which was unpleasant."
Pros: "The crew was friendly, I don't have a ticketing app but Alaska air send me a mobile ticket anyway."
Cons: "I'm a big guy so the seats were too small"
Pros: "TWO beverage trips -- how could I not be happy?"
Pros: "Reasonable fare. Everything was on schedule. Alaska check-in and in-flight staff were great."
Cons: "Nothing I can think of for now."
Pros: "Good seats, staff friendly."
Cons: "None"
Pros: "The pilot was excellent Softest landing ever We hovered down from the sky"
Cons: "The chicken teriyaki was awful Vegitables crunchy Should have small packet of soy sauce"
Pros: "Great flight attendants!"
Cons: "In coach and very little space. Just like all the other airlines."
Pros: "Mood lighting"
Cons: "No free snacks and $25 per bag surcharge"
Pros: "Friendly staff Complimentary drink/snack"
Cons: "Return flight was delayed"
Pros: "Very people oriented, professional carrier. 1st time using Alaska Air. Will use them again."
Cons: "Overcharged for cramped seats plus no entertainment ."
Pros: "Very helpful with disabled son"
Cons: "Did not like boarding outside. Luckily it was good weather."
Pros: "Crew was good"
Cons: "I paid for a window seat, but there was no window. Contacted WestJet and they refused me a refund."
Pros: "I booked Cathay pacific but they changed to China Southern without any notification."
Pros: "No delays flight arrived ahead of schedule"
Pros: "It was easy getting through the line and onto the plane. The seat was on the window, which I wouldn't normally sit in, and was comfortable enough for me to get an hour of sleep on an overnight flight; I'm content with that."
Cons: "The fee for changing my assigned seat, thus the window seat, and one of the flight attendants was very impolite; though overall the flight attendants were pleasant enough."
Pros: "Great airport, friendly and helpful staff. Onto e departure and arrival and very little baggage wait in Vancouver"
Pros: "It was smooth and uneventful."
Cons: "It was all fine."
Pros: "I really enjoyed"
Cons: "Due to the fact that my trip to was not clearly indicated as non stop it is the first time in thirty years of regular travel that I did not have a direct flight to Calgary. Then I was not able to change my flight at the airport even though there was room available on a direct Westjet flight leaving as close to the same time. But the worst part as after landing we waited for a very long time for the plane to pull up to a gate (unnecessarily burning fuel and poluting the environment). And finally we waited another very long time for the doors of the plane to be opened for disembarkation. More than 3/4 of an hour waiting on the ground after a one hour flight very late in the evening. As a result I hat to take a cab home from the airport. Now I will try my best to not fly Westjet."
Pros: "The on board entertainment is very good, just remember to download the westjet connect app."
Cons: "Seats are ok, very cramped together, hard to get in and out of. I had picked plus seats but kayak didn't honor my selection so was forced to sit at the rear of the plane. As for the flight itself, the airliner sells only Coca Cola products, no cash purchases, credit and debit only. No free bag checks,"
Pros: "Everybody was nice. It was my second time flying and they sure do make you feel comfortable."
Cons: "Nothing I didn't like. It was great all around!"
Cons: "The flight delay"
Pros: "It's a way to get from point A to point B."
Cons: "It's like taking the bus, it is what it is. Not great but it gets you there."
Pros: "Very entertaining flight crew. One attendant cracked jokes sang happy birthday announced wedding party . Never boring very friendly"
Pros: "I like everything"
Pros: "Crew was great."
Cons: "Plane was uncomfortable.trays were stained and dirty looking."
Cons: "I was told they don't help you store your carry on. At 66 and 5 feet tall this seems like an impossible feat likely to create issues as it falls on my head."
Pros: "Good quick boarding, left on time. Quick luggage at destination."
Cons: "Getting told to leave the plus section while waiting for the washroom. Too cautious with the tiniest bit of turbulence and the seatbelt sign left on for probably 30 minutes too long."
Pros: "Crew was good as usual."
Cons: "Thought the flight may have been delayed due to issues with ice rain in Toronto. From what was said, it wasn't that, some other issue with the plane and a cancelled flight in the west. No email in advance, no apologies, no freebies (like even a stupid sandwich). You sit an extra 2 and a half hours in an airport with a 5 year old before a 4 hour flight, and see how much the lack of anything grates. And paying for the first bag on the flight. And the emails they did send were after we were already at the airport-in no time to do any good. I Usually like West Jet , but losing my faith in them. Wonder how flair is..."
Cons: "Can't rate food. None provided."
Pros: "Friendly and helpful staff."
Cons: "We didn't like having to take the red eye to meet our Costa Rica connection. We"
Cons: "Crew are not that friendly and not polite."
Pros: "Both planes departed late and reason given was staff has not yet arrived . First plane could not rationalize the number of people on board ."
Cons: "Service was slow and staff seemed to be very casual about the fact we would be an hour late"
Pros: "Great seatmate. Friendly crew. That is a plus."
Cons: "Wish the seats weren't so tight and close to each other."
Pros: "Folks are nice.."
Pros: "Quick and direct. Great staff"
Cons: "Food."
Pros: "Direct flights to mazatlán!!"
Cons: "We are all customers paying to fly from one place to another. Give us all the same service. I'm guessing the ceo's of WestJet are getting paid enough to care about us."
Pros: "Great service all around."
Pros: "Everything was exceptional"
Cons: "Nothing to complain about"
Pros: "The trip to Vancouver was good.....flight attendants very courteous and friendly as usual."
Cons: "the 3 hr security line up"
Cons: "Of the four flights I took with WestJet this holiday, 3 were delayed. The flights were frigid. On this flight the agent at the gate was very rude when I asked about checking my bag, lecturing me about the size of the bag and insisting she would have to charge me if it was a full flight, which she said it wasn't. It ended up fitting just fine in the overhead. Totally soured my experience. I will not use this airline again."
Cons: "One of the crew members was not careful enough while taking something out of the overhead cabinet and dropped something on my head while I was asleep. The crew apologized but it should not have happened in the first place while the aircraft was flying smoothly and there was no turbulence of any kind at that time."
Pros: "The staff were friendly as they had to deal with many annoyed customers. I thought the staff handled the constant delays and cancellations well."
Cons: "My flight to Calgary never happened. In fact due to weather conditions, many, many flights were delayed, some cancelled. No more flights to Penticton, so I had to take a flight to Kelowna after 6:00pm or fly the next day. I met a couple to share a ride to Penticton once I reached Kelowna. My luggage was lost in Calgary and so I went on to Penticton, to Osoyoos. The next day, West Jet delivered my suitcase to me. I appreciate the voucher I was given to buy a few things and the promptness of my luggage. We live in Canada, the weather in the winter can be quite an annoyance and so it was last week."
Pros: "The crew was very helpful."
Pros: "Seamless boarding"
Pros: "Staff were friendly"
Cons: "Waiting for our checked bags for 45 minutes. Utterly ridiculous, especially with the tiny plane we were on."
Cons: "No internet and therefore no in flight entertainment."
Pros: "Crew was good, the flight landed 30mins early - however the airport wasn't ready for us to be so early."
Cons: "I sat in coach and always feel like a sardine stuffed into my seat."
Pros: "We arrived safely and on time"
Cons: "No entertainment unless you paid for wifi, but with a less than two hour flight the price was rediculous. There was no food or drink, other than water or coffee, unless you wanted to pay almost $2 for a mini can of pop."
Cons: "Even though it is a short flight, it would be nice to see a movie and not have to pay for it. I downloaded the Westjet App and started watching the movie, before take-off, while there was still internet access. Once the flight took off, you had to pay to view the movie from the App. Silly!!!!"
Pros: "It was quick and efficient"
Pros: "Brought our own sandwiches.."
Cons: "We were invited to send our carry iron bags to the hold at the gate. We delivered them to the plane door on the jetway. My wife's bag didn't make it from Edmonton to London Gatwick. That's the last time I send anything to the hold ."
Pros: "The attendants were very cordial and considerate."
Cons: "My son did not do well with the food on the trip. He became ill. The food did not smell particularly delicious."
Pros: "Good service. Really nice smooth flight."
Cons: "The woman checking my boarding pass before I was going to get on the plane was not very friendly. Because of the full flight they were asking that large carry-ons be checked. I was fine with that especially since I saw it was a smaller plane and I could not maneuver the steps with both my carry-on and my personal item. I asked if I could also check my computer bag and she said no. The fact that I have trouble walking and maneuvering and she wasn't willing to help me out just seemed like very poor customer service. Had I known about trying to maneuver the stairs I would have been more prepared."
Pros: "everything ran very smooth . friendly staff."

Pros: "Extra legroom but I paid for that"
Cons: "Not getting the meal I prepaid for and the curtain of business class constantly hitting me it was not good."

Cons: "Flight wad delayed without letting me know anything for next schedule. and staff was non cooperative."

I mentioned it to the flight attendednt but being a full flight there were no seat. Changes available. The parents even switched seats but only with each other, they kept the baby behind me. I can only hope they have a baby kicking their seat in the future"
Pros: "The flights are fine, on time."
Pros: "Great service- friendly patient helpful, pilots that kept passengers updated and very reassuring and confident sounding. KAYAK got me perfect seats!"
Cons: "Food wasn't spectacular, and being limited to credit card purchasing is always a problem for many travellers. Pre-purchasing options are a great option except for last minute wishes."

Pros: "The trip to Edmonton was very smooth and right on time. Everything was very good.....including the baby behind us. I will fly Air Canada again."
Cons: "I didn't like the change in gate at Edmonton to Vancouver. No one told us until boarding time. Even tho there was ample time to get there since it was the next door gate, I was in a wheelchair and if it had been any further, it could've been a disaster. We arrived right on time. I'd go Air Canada again."
Pros: "Free business class"
Cons: "Food and no entrainment available"
Pros: "was a really great trip- I took the dreamliner last week and that was an amazing treat"
Cons: "Westjet gives pretzels or cookies complementary- I was surprised Air Canada didn't do the same Was a little squishy but all planes are!"

Cons: "No breakfast offered for a four hour flight"
Pros: "The crew was inviting, helpful, and very kind."
Cons: "Entertainment system did not work. No WIFI on the plane (which was, admittedly disclosed upon ticket purchase, so it was no fault of air canada). Chairs were very uncomfortable and the individual in front of me reclined fully for the entire trip."
Cons: "Cancelling flights , lying about reasons why, running away from customers when the flight finally after 10 hours was canceled"
Cons: "Both my flights (there and back) were delayed, my luggage was lost after I was asked to volunteer to check it in and on the delay (YYC to YUL), I wasn't even given a food voucher after being made to wait 8h in the airport. This was AFTER the crew promised they would hold the other flights (also operated by AC)"
Cons: "The flight attendant was rude to every single person that asked for anything on the flight. Even someone asking for a simple glass of water was given attitude. I booked my seats over the phone and they were not the seats they told me they were. Aweful service"
Pros: "The way back there was nobody beside us. Nice to have extra room."
Cons: "On the way back there was only one person in business class. Nobody got bumped up"
Cons: "My flight and itinerary was cancelled due to the booking staff i planned my travel arrangements for to Mexico. They cancelled the round trip flights i had departing from vancouver to mexico and back so i never was able to use this flight to Vancouver and now will just have a credit there until used. can provide a better rating once i am able to use the flight."
Pros: "The staff where friendly and easy going, the boarding was also organized and because the flight was really full of you gave the carry on to be checked they allowed you to priority board"
Cons: "The food countinues to be and issue I flew the same airline 2 years ago and the meal options had not changed. The salad was so bland I was certain that I was eating plastic food."
Pros: "The loading was better organized then in the past, so smoother; not as chaotic."
Cons: "No amenities offered other than a free thimble of something to drink. I'm waiting for them to charge for breathable air."
Pros: "Flight was on time. The landing was smooth, not bumpy."
Cons: "Delayed 3 hours !"
Pros: "It was on-time, left enough time to reach connections and my bag arrived."
Cons: "Flight was slightly delayed boarding in NYC but it wasn't a long delay and we left on time."
Pros: "Air Canada front desk people were wonderful and helpful."
Pros: "Smooth ride."
Cons: "The plane was very old and delayed for too long. Way overpriced air fares."
Pros: "Everything was really good"
Cons: "Some staff were very personable and some were the opposite."
Cons: "Staff needed assistance in folding stroller - whereas this has never been a concern on porter. - stroller was thrown on the floor at landing and retrieval."
Cons: "Slow and stupid some of passages"
Pros: "In-flight entertainment console is pretty good"
Cons: "Departure was 40 minutes delayed right off the bat for reasons unknown and unexplained. Then, worse, mechanical trouble on the tarmack, we had to return to the gate and power down the plane, while still remaining on board, unventilated and unpleasantly sweaty, in the dark even for a while. What should have been a quick 1.5 hour flight and 8:30pm arrival thus became a sweaty 4-hour ordeal and almost 11pm arrival. Not the end of the world, but I was a bit taken aback at the absence of apologetic behaviour, like perhaps serving drinks while we're sweating on the tarmack, or heaven forbid, a meal of some sort considering we were departing later than we should have all already been home."
Pros: "Timing"
Cons: "Lack of sleep"
Pros: "On time, good service and reasonably comfortable"
Cons: "Food options limited and quality very poor."
Pros: "AC changed to a different plane for our flight at the last minute, so seat assignments were messed up, and we had paid extra to choose seats. So why pay extra for seating when the airline can put you wherever they want at their discretion. In addition there was a minor delay in take off while the flight deck crew had to re-programmed the avionics to our scheduled route. But we made up the time en route and were only a few minutes late. On the whole, not a bad flight experience, just the usual frustration in the process. I long for the days when flying was a pure pleasure."
Cons: "Crew not overly friendly"
Cons: "United on-board Wi-Fi wasn't available on this plane for this flight. 2.5 hours wasted..."
Cons: "Need power supply for passenger seats in Economy Plus."
Pros: "Extraordinary efforts to accommodate bags in the overhead bin."
Pros: "Even with a nearly hour delay to switch planes, the captain and crew were very good at keeping people informed of the situation. The plane we were supposed to be on was having mechanical issues and rather than waiting until we were boarded and sitting on the plane until the issues were resolved (which coincidentally happened on my earlier flight for 1.5 hrs) the stopped boarding, which made a bad situation a little less crummy."
Cons: "Being delayed an hour for an red-eye flight sucks no matter what the circumstances, but better safe than sorry"
Cons: "It would have been great if a movie was provided."
Cons: "Super uncomfortable seats"
Pros: "Boarding was easy crew was pleasant. Shouldn't have to pay extra for tv, ticket prices are high enough as it is!!"
Cons: "No leg room which isn't good for circulation on a 4 hr flight!"
Cons: "Check in was a disaster!"
Pros: "Very nice employees. The trip was good. Unfortunately, the plane was delayed for a fueling off load for 45 minutes but it all worked out just fine."
Pros: "Very late - no communication from gate agents."
Cons: "Poor boarding service"
Pros: "Besides being tired and walking what felt like 3 miles to new gate I have not issues to report."
Cons: "I chose to fly Southwest on the way back and for less money I received better service. If you find a reasonably priced flight you don't have to worry about paying extra for baggage or stomach during the flight. On the flight home, I realized that they have bigger seats, your bags ( 1 personal, 1 carry-on, and 2 checked bags) are "free" and they give you a little snack to hold you for maybe and hour. Overall I prefer Southwest because of all the benefits you get while flying with them but it doesn't mean I will never fly United again."
Pros: "Smooth flight, on time. Older model plane compared to my first United flight but its more comfortable because the seat spacing isn't cramped the way they are on the newer model United planes. Immediately felt the difference (my knees weren't up against the seatback in front of me)."
Cons: "Older plane"
Pros: "The surprising extra legroom from economy seats."
Pros: "The crew on this flight looked miserable."
Cons: "Basic economy not aloud a carry on bag. Charged for a checked bag. The TV programming was an extra charge as well as the drinks."
Pros: "United terminal in Houston is very nice"
Cons: "Narrow, uncomfortable seats."
Cons: "I was informed at check in that I could not bring a carry on bag. Therefore, I had to pay to check my bag. However, all other passengers on the plane brought carry on bags. Then, upon arrival in New Orleans, my bag failed to arrive. My bag was still in Chicago."
Pros: "Crew was very pleasant & helping. There was a gentlemen I sat beside with a service dog the size of a horse! He (diesel) was a gentle giant. The crew were dog lovers so they took care of diesel like he was a rock star!"
Pros: "Flight was on time or early which is just what you want"
Cons: "Nothing to say here"
Pros: "Pilot communicated everything"
Cons: "Late takeoff"
Cons: "Very uncomfortable seating!"
Pros: "The crew was very nice."
Cons: "My group got separated, as well as a few other groups I saw. There was no effort made by the airport staff to accommodate any of us."
Cons: "Issues with crew delayed the flight. I was further delayed getting to my destination because they forced me to check my bag."
Cons: "Being wedged in the middle seat after two overseas flights and seeing stand-by passengers in isle and window seats in rows ahead of mine... no, I did not appreciate that. In other words, UA is accomodating stand-by passengers before accomodating customers who have purchased tickets. Try sitting in a middle seat after two overseas flights... especially as a tall person with no knee space and a super-uncomfortable seat with the headcushion area reaching only your neck. Those seats were clearly made for folks under 5'8"-5'9"."
Pros: "On time. Comfortable"
Cons: "The plane being overbooked, having to check my carry on bag. Making me late to my event having to wait at the carousel."
Pros: "Wish all the major airlines would have more flight options from ORD and MSY, but all went well"
Cons: "Fast and painless"
Pros: "Ahead of schedule"
Cons: "The child behind me kicking me"
Cons: "Seats felt like lawn chairs. Horribly uncomfortable flt Over booked Flt by 3 passengers. Finally gave one family $3,600 to not fly. Maintenance delay multiple times"
Pros: "Smooth flight"
Cons: "Flight attendant was rude to middle eastern woman. Thought her behavior was unnecessarily rude when dealing with a woman who didn't speak English."
Pros: "This was the worst and most stressful trip of my life. Heard of Murphy's law? Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. And did go wrong again. And again. It wasn't my fault or the people's fault, but an unfortunate chain of circumstances. And United personnel helped me deal with so many challenges and went above and beyond their duty. On the trip to Calgary my flights were delayed, I was denied boarding or the flight was canceled. It took me 3 days to get to my destination and this happened after I arrived 4 hours in advance for every flight, but the first one. I did everything I could in my power, but my best was not good enough. And so when my rental car broke down two hours before my departure, and I failed to start it, I took a cab to YYC and hoped for the best. And United didn't disappoint. They listened to me, respected me and tried to help me as much as they could. My leg cramped and I was not able to cross the hallway to the flight, just as the boarding was starting. The board agents called the wheelchair, walked over to me and tried to calm me down, just as they were wrapping up boarding. They then checked my luggage and held me by the hand all the way to the airplane,"
Cons: "Once again, the agents did the best they could given a set of highly unusual circumstances. Yet the flight was one hour late for a very predictable reason. In the winter it snows in Calgary. You have to de-ice the plane. This takes time. Yet, the airline treated snow as emergency and didn't allow time for that. One hour delay stressed a lot of people out and canceled their plans. Do allow for more time for travel in the winter. It is cost effective and leaves customers happier."
Pros: "Stewardesses were new hires, but still decent with their service."
Cons: "Flight left an hour late with no clear explanatiom, making it really difficult to get home at the time of arrival."
Pros: "They were friendly no matter where you were seated. Always had smiles"
Cons: "All was good. No dislikes"
Cons: "2-3 hour delay kept delaying, snack was nasty, drink yeah right it was a sip. They take a can and split it between four people. So unorganized and rude."
Cons: "I enjoyed my flight!"
Cons: "Attendent wouldn't accept my visa gift card as payment so I was unable to eat"
Pros: "The flight was very short. Loved it"
Cons: "My Ears hurt after the flight was over."
Cons: "Wifi wasn't working. Crew kept announcing erroneous things."
Pros: "On time, made change of terminals at LAX with time to spare, air Canada entertainment,"
Cons: "Paying more for seats that were open anyway, paying extra for a bag, smelly toilet on sky west ,"
Pros: "Check in 24 Hrs before by phone and upgrade to Economy Plus for me and my husband - we were returning from a ski trip ( we fly twice a year Bs Aires-Calgary during the ski season)."
Cons: "On our return, check in ground staff tell us we can NOT check in skis and boot bags, not even paying. The reason was unknkwn but that is what the system was indicating ... We purchased RT tickets, flew from BsAires to Calgary without a glitch, skis and boot bags, in addition to one checked bag and s small carryon each. For no reason we were denied the possibility to check in ski equipment and provided no reason or solutiion. This was also not a full flight"
Pros: "Flight took off promptly & landed early"
Cons: "Paid a lot more than I did for the same flight via delta with half the amenities. Crew not particularly friendly"
Pros: "Everything went smoothly"
Cons: "Smoothly and on time"
Cons: "My direct flight to New Orleans was canelled forcing me to arrive five hours late for my ride from the airport."
Pros: "Love the customer service and friendly staff"
Pros: "Cheap"
Cons: "My two seats were not together and river landing very rough"
Cons: "Lies about when we would leave. Next time just be honest about the fact that we didn't have a pilot instead of stringing us along for 9 hours."
Pros: "Comfortable chairs"
Cons: "There are no TV's and there are no snacks"
Cons: "There is delay in both airport for security check ! No more people to do it ! 1 hour waiting in line was very dissappointed"
Pros: "Late flight. Slow to board Given middle seat"

via Marseille
Travelling by train from London to Sanremo became even easier from May 2015 when Eurostar launched a new direct service from London to Marseille. On Saturdays and Sundays this Eurostar train connects perfectly in Marseille with a mid-afternoon EuroCity service to Sanremo operated by Thello.
In Marseille, you change trains at St Charles station, from where the train to Sanremo heads east on a marvellous traverse of Provence to the Côte d'Azur and the Italian border.
On those days when there is no direct Eurostar train from London to Marseille, you can still travel from London to Sanremo in a day with changes in Paris and Nice.
London to Marseille
The first part of the Eurostar journey from London sweeps through Thameside landscapes and rural Kent. The train stops at Ashford International to pick up passengers before diving into the Channel Tunnel.
Around an hour after leaving London you'll already be in northern France, heading south through Flanders' fields towards Paris. Skirting the east of the French capital, it's then a fast journey south through Burgundy to the Rhône Valley. There are stops in Lyon and Avignon before arriving in Marseille, where the train terminates at Marseille Saint-Charles station.
On the return journey from Marseille to London, there is an extra stop at Lille Europe. This is required by UK Border Force to carry out immigration checks before the train enters the Channel Tunnel. Passengers from Marseille need to alight at Lille, pass through a quick security check and passport control, and then rejoin the train for the onward journey to London.
Eurostar train guide
Marseille to Sanremo
The direct Thello train to Sanremo leaves from Marseille St Charles station. It makes nine stops on its journey to Sanremo. Sit on the right side of the train for the best views of the coast. You'll be rewarded with early glimpses of rocky coves as the train runs east through Bandol. The journey takes in the main resorts of the Côte d'Azur: Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monte Carlo and Menton. There's more scenery to come as the train runs along the coast of Liguria towards Sanremo. Approaching the resort, the line dives into the long tunnel to reach Sanremo's modern underground station.
Thello EuroCity train guide
It is very easy to travel by train from London to Sanremo and other resorts on the Italian Riviera. There is a night train option via Paris and Milan, and a wide choice of daytime routes. On those days when there is a direct Eurostar train from London to Marseille, it is possible to take that, changing in Marseille onto a EuroCity service run by Thello to Sanremo. There is also a daytime route via Paris and Nice, which we describe here.
There are three legs to the journey, which starts with a high-speed run on Eurostar from London to Paris. In Paris it is necessary to change stations, crossing the city to the Gare de Lyon to join a French TGV which runs directly to Nice. You change trains again at Nice Ville, from where there's a direct EuroCity train along the coast to Sanremo. The route is by no means all high-speed. The last two or three hours, as you run east through Provence to Nice and beyond, is very leisurely. From time to time, you'll have superb views of the Mediterranean to the right of the train.
Lyon to Paris
Every day, direct TGVs – usually double-deck TGV Duplex trains – leave Lyon for Paris. Within little more than an hour you swap the soft contours of Burgundy vineyards for the suburbs of Paris. All TGV services from Paris serve Lyon Part Dieu station. Most also stop at Lyon-Perrache which is more convenient for the heart of the old city. Arrival in Paris is at the Gare de Lyon.
TGV train guide
Paris interchange: Paris Nord to Paris Lyon
When you alight from the train at Gare du Nord look for signs to the Metro and RER. Once you've bought a ticket follow the signs to 'RER D', direction 'Melun' or 'Malesherbes'. So long as you're heading in the right direction, all the trains on this line stop at Gare de Lyon. The actual train journey takes around 10 mins with just one stop on the way at Châtelet-les-Halles. Upon alighting from the RER train at Gare de Lyon, follow the signs to the mainline station. The signs read 'Accès aux trains Grandes Lignes'. The whole journey from the concourse at Gare du Nord to the mainline departure platforms at Gare de Lyon will normally take about 40 mins but we recommend leaving at least 50 mins.
If you are arriving at Gare du Nord from London, bear in mind that you can buy Paris Métro tickets at the Eurostar terminal at St. Pancras and on board the Eurostar train. Similarly, passengers arriving at the Gare du Nord on Thalys trains from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands can buy Metro tickets on the train (at the Thalys Bar). Although universally referred to as Métro tickets, they are in fact valid on RER trains too.
Paris to Nice
The direct TGV services to Nice depart from Paris Gare de Lyon station. These TGV trains (usually double-deck TGV Duplex units) run non-stop to at least Valence in the Rhône Valley; many don't make a single stop until well into Provence. There's a nice balance to this journey: an impressive high-speed run at the start, giving a sense of real progress towards the south of France, then a more leisurely pace for the last couple of hours as the train cruises the Riviera coast. Arrival in Nice is at Nice Ville station, from where it is a 15-minute walk to the beachfront promenade.
Nice to Sanremo
There are three direct EuroCity trains each day from Nice Ville to Sanremo. These services are run by Thello. There are plenty of additional options, but these require a change of train at Ventimiglia. The direct trains take little over an hour for the 50-km journey from Nice Ville to Sanremo, making three intermediate stops along the way. Sit on the right for the best views of the coast. Approaching Sanremo, the line dives into the long tunnel to reach the resort's modern underground station.

Secret Soviet UFO studies revealed
The Soviet Union took UFOs seriously. The KGB and the Soviet Defence Ministry had dedicated units collecting and analysing information about paranormal activity. Military experts even claimed to know how to "summon" UFOs and make contact with them.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was recently asked an unusual question. A REN TV correspondent asked him, as a former president, if it was true that, together with the nuclear briefcase, the head of state was presented with a classified folder with materials about UFOs.
Dmitry Medvedev said this was true. According to the prime minister, in addition to the folder, the head of state was presented with a report from the secret services, whose task it was to control the aliens on Russian territory. When asked by journalist if there were many aliens living among us, Medvedev refused to elaborate, "so as not to create a panic." However, he did suggest that those interested in the subject watch a "documentary chronicle" called "Men in Black."
Of course, this response can be treated as a joke. Seriously speaking, however, both in the Soviet Union and in modern Russia, the topic of UFOs and other paranormal phenomena was and still remains classified – and none of the officials will ever say anything about it publicly.
On the other hand, there are experts who no longer hold any senior posts and therefore have more room to maneuver. Some former, high-ranking Soviet military officials have recently decided to lift the veil of secrecy on the mystery of UFOs.
It happened at end of March, at the Zigel Readings conference named after Felix Zigel – a Soviet astronomer and mathematician who is largely credited with being the founder of ufology in Russia. This biannual event has been held in Moscow for more than 20 years and is devoted to the study of paranormal phenomena.
For many years, reports of UFO sightings were treated in the Soviet Union as non-science, or fiction not worthy of attention from serious scientists. Only a few enthusiasts like Felix Zigel realized that those facts needed to be studied seriously. In the 1960s, Zigel delivered many public lectures on the topic, thus prompting volunteers to join in the task of collecting information on unidentified flying objects.
The watershed moment for the official attitude toward UFOs came in 1978, when hundreds – if not thousands – of people in Petrozavodsk witnessed a strange luminous object in the sky for several hours. The local emergencies services were inundated with letters and calls from frightened members of the public. Even neighboring countries asked the Soviet Union to explain what mysterious military exercise it was holding.
The last straw was a letter from the academic Aleksandrov – the founding father of Soviet nuclear power plants – claiming that it would be a mistake to keep ignoring this issue. According to him, it was necessary to set up special programs to study these phenomena.
The source for this story is a retired FSB major general and researcher with an Academy of Security, Defense and Law and Order Issues, Vasily Yeremenko. At the time, Yeremenko was in charge of the KGB division overseeing the air force and aircraft manufacturing. It was his division that was entrusted with the task of collecting all reports of UFO sightings.
By that time, as Yeremenko told RBTH, there had been an accumulation of reports on numerous paranormal incidents. Missile Troops units were even instructed on how to behave in the event that they spotted a UFO: the main thing was not to act in a way that could create an opportunity for a retaliatory aggression.
In the early 1980s, an experiment to "summon" a UFO was staged at a military range in Astrakhan Region. By then, experts had realized that UFOs were frequently sighted in areas of "heightened tension" – for instance, during weapons tests, or when there was a lot of military hardware gathered in one area.
"One could say that, during that experiment, we learned how to summon a UFO. To achieve that, there would be a sharp increase in the number of flights performed by combat aircraft and a lot of movement of hardware. Then UFOs appeared with a probability of nearly 100 percent," Yeremenko said. According to him, most of the objects looked like luminous spheres.
Over time, all the participants in the experiment became so used to these phenomena that they took them for granted. Some even tried to make contact with the objects. "It looked like this: a person on the ground would wave their arms, twice to the right and twice to the left. The ball in the sky would react to it by swinging twice to the right and then twice to the left. We had no idea how to explain that," said Yeremenko.
In the end, the military, together with the scientists who took part in the experiment, came to three main conclusions. First, these may be natural phenomena that modern science is not yet able to explain. Second, these may be U.S. or Japanese reconnaissance equipment. Finally, these may be extraterrestrial objects.
These days, UFOs have been relegated to the pages of sensationalist tabloids. That is why, as Yeremenko believes, serious scientists do not dare make their attitude toward this issue known and remain silent. In private conversations with pilots and cosmonauts, he has more than once heard stories of UFOs – yet they do not want to speak about it publicly. Still, the expert is convinced that this issue should be taken seriously as a matter of security.
