Review: Air Canada Express CRJ-900 Economy Class from Yellowknife to Edmonton

Economy Class / By Keishi Nukina / July 17, 2023

After spending a few days in Yellowknife, it was time to continue my around-the-Northern-Hemisphere trip and head to my next destination – Vienna, Austria. Doing so involved four flights the first of which was a short hop down from Yellowknife to Edmonton on an Air Canada Express CRJ-900. Continue reading to see what the economy […]

Review: Aurora Bayside Inn Yellowknife

Hotels / By Keishi Nukina / July 12, 2023

When looking for places to stay during my visit to Yellowknife back in May, what I could mostly find were average-looking hotels at fairly expensive prices. The one option that stood out was Aurora Bayside Inn. While lacking the services typically provided by hotels, the inn was not only considerably cheaper than the other options

In June 2023, I took a trip from Taipei to Japan. This time I flew to Naha on the delightful Japanese island of Okinawa. With a scheduled duration of around one and a half hours, I flew on what is currently Starlux’s shortest flight. The airline operated its first flight in January 2020 and since

Review: WestJet Elevation Lounge at Calgary Airport

Airport Lounges / By Keishi Nukina / July 3, 2023

In 2020, Canada’s WestJet opened its first and so far only airport lounge, the WestJet Elevation Lounge at Calgary Airport. Visiting the lounge was one of the things I was really looking forward to on my recent trip to Yellowknife. Having now visited it, I can say that the lounge did not disappoint – it

Review: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Airport-Calgary

Hotels / By Keishi Nukina / June 30, 2023

During my recent trip to Canada, I had a one-night layover in Calgary. After considering some of the many different hotels that can be found around the airport, I ultimately decided to book one of the few different Holiday Inns around the airport, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Airport-Calgary.

While WestJet has been operating long-haul flights from Calgary to Europe for quite some time now, in May 2023, they launched their first Asian destination – Tokyo.

While ANA’s footprint at Tokyo Narita Airport has shrunk considerably since the airline started moving a good chunk of its international operations to Tokyo Haneda Airport, it still operates a few lounges at the airport including a pair of ANA Lounges. I had a chance to visit one of those – the ANA Lounge in

Trip Preview: Old Prop Hunting in Yellowknife on the Way to Europe

Trip Previews / By Keishi Nukina / June 13, 2023

My most recent trip was meant to be a simple visit to Europe to try some airline products I haven’t reviewed before and spend some time with my family. Instead, it turned into an (at least in theory) around-the-Northern-Hemisphere adventure with a few days in Yellowknife in the north of Canada. The trip allowed me
