Update: B&O headphone

Went to the FedEx office today to pick up the package. Was surprised to see how large the box was. Got home and unpacked them. Lo and behold, they had "upgraded" me to the H6 (over the ear version, looks to sell on Amazon for 450-500) with a nice note that this was in recognition of the delay. I'm impressed and BMW may have secured a new customer when I am on the market in the spring.

Funnily enough, I almost declined the limo ride from AC in August, as my wife was on the same flight as me to YYZ and continuing on to YVR. I had planned to accompany her to her gate before going to International departures, but when the concierge met us on deplaning, Mrs. Livyer insisted I take the ride. I guess she'll be getting extensive use of the new headphones.

My guess is they are those BMW that FT members talk about at the following thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...rvice-yyz.html

I still wonder how can I get on one of these, especially if I am traveling with my family, just so I can say "see what Daddy be able to pull off for you"

To clear up any confusion as there seems to be some

I did a quick search and could not find any mention of this service. B24H thought it started on Apr 1. Guess that's a first step to being the premium airline that AC aspires to be.
I pass through YYZ on way to South America quite often and get offered this service about half the time. It isn't a huge perk as the transfer walk isn't bad (no further security etc) but the chocolate in the little room in the domestic area is nice. The car is a 7 series and trunk is huge for anyone worried about carry on. Wisk up from car to lounge and then flight.

It is not something that is to put on a bucket list for anyone wondering but isn't horrible either.

Can someone take a picture of the seats so that I can post it on my cubicle wall and desktop wallpaper? Please and thank you!

Oh... Please make sure you capture the grainy texture of the seat material. I want to live in the moment! Woot!

Why not just to go your local BMW dealership and ask to take a 750 out for a test drive? I'm sure if you flash your AC SE100K and 2MM cards, they will bow down to you.

the ride is so short, I chuckled when I got out. ( but I did take lots of pictures and sent to friends.)

But, really is this all AC can come up with?
Seems like a colossal waste of effort/money.

Ah, but who's paying for it?

You'd be surprised.

BMW has been figured prominently in alongside AC for years. I'd be very surprised if the limo isn't funded by BMW's marketing organization.

Chances are you ride in a BMW more than he does and he will just have to accept that fact
