Has WS forsaken YVR?
Last time I was in CDG they had a bomb scare - found a piece of unattended luggage so they cleared out the whole section of the terminal. Security guy said this happens all the time. They opened up after ~45 minutes, we made our flight and it was on time, so I guess they have the procedure down pretty well. Can you imagine if this happened in YYC?

HAHA. YYC-CDG, $12,000 for business class return.
That being said, I can find some fares to London for about $6000 return. Do you think we can use our 2 for 1 certificates??

Will WJ provide complementary upgrade to Business class on these routes for WJ Gold members flying on Econo Flex fare (if there is an empty seat at departure)?
