Flew YVR - YEG on Saturday, back Monday. Like BB, found everything almost normal. No lines, no baggage searches, photo ID at check in and a question about electronic equipment (razor, camera, cell phone). Both a/c had about a 40% load, lighter in J. There were only 3 in J on the 737 and one of those was a CA.

A very relaxed check-in agent at YVR suggested I go to the "Empress" lounge. She was obviously not from AC lineage. Both lounges were well supplied but the YEG lounge was a little unkempt. The staff members remained "behind the door", probably discussing the future of AC.

The only surprise was that the priority luggage tags worked. My bag was waiting for me in YEG, along with 3 other red tags. In YVR my bag was #2 to hit the carousel.
