TO airport

The designer must be one graduated from the US and prefer the chaotic
and poor air circulation .... Man, the entire feel of the airport
compared to Vancouver was night and day!

Signage at Pearson was bad. Too us a long time before finding a
baggage storage. It turned out it was part of the Travel Store in
Terminal 1 at Level 3 just before security. Worse, the sign was
covered by other shop items. Let's put it bluntly, it was a crap
baggage storage. It must be privatized. Because all the baggages
were piled in three separate rooms as well as in the back office of
the Travel Store. What a mess!

The line up thru security was like backward US-style. Guess we are
pretty spoiled here in Asia (Hong Kong excluded, same dumb asses
design and India, just dumb asses).

Has any one ever departing from Terminal 1's International area? The
bar and grill place had such a venting problem, immediately as you
walked toward the down escalator to the gating area, you could smell
the grease. And as you walked around, one could see blue haze.
Liquor was cheap though. CAD60 for two bottles of Chivas. CAD 49.99
for two bottles of Saffaire Gin and Volka.

The entire feel just bad. Must be modeled after Boston and the
"greater US designs".

The AC lounge was packed and the food was bad. The wireless.
Couldn't handle the load and could not communicate with a new Macbook
Pro. I could get to other Wi-Fi services no problem, the paid ones of
course.

More on AC in-flight services in a separate blog. But in short, the
service sucked! If that was the best service for North American
airlines in 2008, the quality pretty much is sub-standard.
