I am VERY excited 😆 A year away still but trying to get a good idea about excursions & things to do in Vancouver... There is sooooo much choice it will be difficult to decide 😆

I was thinking 4 or 5 days in Vancouver before so that sounds about right... I might even use my Avios points for the hotel if I don't use them for the flight 😆

Thanks again

To be fair Air Transaat club is more like PE on other airlines.We stayed at the Pan Pacific which was fab and the Disney Wonder docked right under our window😄

Yes, been looking again & saw that they don't really have a business class... The upgrade is quite a lot at the moment so I don't think it's worth it (about £1200 each). I think i might pay the extra £100 each for bulkhead seats if they are available.

Just astounded at the price difference with BA 😱 Even if I use my Avios points BA is probably going to be more than Air Transat 😱.

I looked at the Pan Pacific. Lovely hotel but a bit pricey 😆😆. We have Mariott points to use & it looks like that's very near the port so we will probably book that 😄

We have just flown BA to the US and found them very average. Certainly not worth any kind of premium for the name. I'd just go with the best cost.

😆 Def not twice the price! The only difference I can see is BA offer a hot meal vs a sandwich, free headphones & a blanket... Don't think that's worth an extra £500...

Thanks

That's the one I am planning to stay at! Just trying to get DH to pull his finger out & book it 😄

Glad to hear you like it and even better than you can walk to the port 😄

That's great to hear 😄 Did you have seatback IFE?

How did you enjoy the cruise? Did you do any excursions that you could recommend? There is so much choice!

[highland lass]

Yes we did and there was lots of choice including Canadian films
