Personally I think we all need to stop for at least 1 drink in the Frequenta lounge in the MEX airport. I know I spent many a morning there waiting for the next leg of my journey.

If you want to experience good customer service from an airline forget Air Canada and try CanJet or WestJet

I had a long phone call from a FT'ers based in Canada yesterday who is an AC Super Elite.
I mentioned MHD and he had no idea what I was talking about.
When looking for a thread to reference for him this one came up first.
So hopefully he will get a picture of what this neat deal was all about.
However as all Ken's carefully HTML'd links do not work anymore, all being on the old FT numbers, nor the link from doc here to the thread that contained them, that FT'er will need to select one or more of these on search and go do some more reading.

Ah yes--the MHD, what a wonderful time in aviation history. I remember it fondly, including one trip I took with Ken where on Mexicana they even played our song when we boarded, what else but the "Mexican Hat Dance".
I also have one good and bad story where I was detained by immigration at LAX and subjected to a full body and luggage search in a private room due to my frequent trips to eastern Canada with 40 minute layovers in Puerto Vallarta
