Iceland is great fun but there would need to be serious rounds of oral anesthetics to go there on Rouge. The Beechcraft is looking better by the minute.

I actually like The Lev's idea of KEF...if only because I'd like to see something different and unique, not another major city. (Apologies in advance to those of us who live in them).

Seem to me "different and unique" are components of making a Do EPIC.

But I like your idea of "oral anesthetics" even more.

I LOVE the Beechcraft. My next trip to YYR in June I've booked YYT-YQX-YYR YYR-YQX-YYT just to get on it

FI ain't half bad, at least in Saga class. It's more like European domestic J though.

Non-stops from a bunch of cities in US & Canada. And you can preorder your food. At least I could last year. But not *A.

I only put the smiley on because it would be amusing to take FI to an FT AC-forum do. If I were to go to KEF, it would be FI all the way. Direct flights from YHZ vs connecting to a Rouge flight in YUL or YYZ. 32" vs 29" picth in Y. That's a no brainer.

For sure not on AC, but I've been pre-ordering on SQ of course, and also BR for the last 2 years. (Remind me to tell you about the French Toast..... )

Count me in.
For selfish reasons I vote LAS and would be willing to help out on the logistics and arrangements.

My bad, I meant to say that FI is not *A and therefore not entirely in keeping with a Do on the AC forum.

Well, yes and no.

We have members here who fly many other airlines AND some fly other airlines to get to some Do's. This forum isn't owned by AC and while most posters here do fly AC, I'm sure we all decide our own way to FT Do's. Some of us flew WS, Harbour Air and HeliJet to/from the YYJ Do.

Meanwhile....back to epic.....

Domestic J in Europe is more often that not a Y seat with a blocked middle and sometimes a little extra room. FI J is more like NA J, a very good - albeit not flat - NA J/F.

The KEF lounge is also very nice. Pre security or customs or something though, don't leave it at t-20. That interrogation was not fun.

My nephew lives in REK and I'm sure could come up with some local suggestions. One thing my daughter recommended when she came back from visiting him last year is to bring money, lots o' money.

Or Georgian!

But yeah, I'm sure we could fill one

Sounds like a challenge. If this one goes West like looks likely, maybe next summer we can look into it!
