Flew Calgary-Edmonton-Calgary today in Executive Class on AC on DC-9s. Flight up to YEG was a virtual ghost flight (I was only one in front section and there were 9 other passengers in the rear).

Disappointed in Maple Leaf lounge -- looks like they are not putting out any food on Saturday mornings, in the week they usually have French pastries, bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, jugs of grapefruit and orange juice etc.

Crew were very attentive on both flights and even addressed me by name as I was leaving the flight (I haven't been in a plane for almost 3 months!)

Maple Leaf lounge in Edmonton was a bit better stocked for the return, including veggies, cheese and crackers as well as some kind of frozen popsicle treat that I didn't bother trying. More people on the plane but still pretty empty.

Do it all again on Monday and then again on Tuesday. Flying season is back ! (and that is an OK thing)
