Flew YYZ-YVR this morning, config was 2-2-1, but to no avail for NoahVail, as J was oversold. Had to settle for 13H and an omelette.
Checkin was quite busy, kiosks were fine, however the baggage drop and security queue were getting conga-like by 7:15 am. The MLL was busy but well stocked, and I had enough time to scarf down some Fruit Loops and a coffee

. Flight was about 20 minutes late departing, but considering the queues I think they did quite well. Good flight with a good crew. 25 minute wait for baggage, but we were the only flight on the carrousel, so it was not the beehive others have been experiencing.
From the 'have it and eat it too' department, I wish I could have had the upgrade, but overall it was a good flight experience. Hopefully Tuesday's return will be as good, as upgrade is already confirmed.
Oh well, half potential value for 'V' is better than 'Q'.
Cheers.
