Re: Family of smokers very expensive for Sunwing flightsaid by nitzguy:(Return $598 all taxes in...from Sudbury, not Toronto) I got two return tickets and a week at a hotel... for $588. Add on the rental car and I was still less than $700. Flying out of Buffalo makes a gigantic difference. |

Flying out of Buffalo makes a gigantic difference. Well, for me, not so much, consider the potential 6 hour drive ahead of me....I looked at it and on paper I guess it wasn't worth the difference...also would have cut down on my stay there as I needed to be back to work that Monday night...and couldn't have swung it to be back in time then.... But yes for you guys down there, it makes much more sense IMO. |

I didn't even mention how we got stuck on the tarmac in Newark for an hour packed into a sardine can Embraer 145 because someone overfilled the plane and it needed to be drained. I hate anything Embraer with a passion. When they load me onto a Bombardier jet I feel like I'm in heaven by comparison. |

It's a respectable company, such that even Air Canada has them as regional airplane commuters. |

I suspect that the experience on an Embraer 17x/19x is a *lot* better than on a ERJ. It's funny you say this though, because I have a friend who feels the complete opposite and hates CRJs with a passion. |

I've enjoyed flights on AC's Embraer jets (I think I was on a 175, but I can't be sure), and as for CRJs it depends on who the carrier is. I didn't mind the AC ones I've been on, but the seats on a United-liveried aircraft were just brutal...to the point where I wasn't sure I'd be able to stand after the flight. Fortunately, I had a long walk at O'Hare to catch my connecting flight to work out the backache. |

My flight to Indianapolis this May consists of.... CRJ 200 from Ottawa to O'Hare, and then an ERJ 145 from O'Hare to Indy.... Not looking forward to it. |

You poor bastard. To say that an ERJ 145 is cramped is an understatement. |

so none of the 3 were charged with smoking aboard the aircraft...that was quick....are these charges from bermuda authorities, or otherwise? will they not have to go to court in canada?
sunwing has them on the no fly list, can other airlines follow suit and put them on the no fly list? |

I don't care how uncomfortable a plane is... a 1 hour flight on a CRJ/ERJ is still better than 3 hours in a cramped rental car. Besides, a flight to ORD would have cost me the same amount. |

Considering the price of booze in Iceland, the fact that he chugged back his duty-free booze and that he couldn't handle it doesn't surprise me one bit |

How can anyone have another side of the story. They'll say they were allowed to smoke & swear under the People's Freedom of Choices and Voices Act. |

The family is claiming they didn't smoke on the flight. So was there a statement of a cigarette butt being found from the Airline? |
