  There’s nothing available in first class on either route because it’s not offered on those flights in the first place. You have to go via NYC, BOS or ORD to get F to eastern Canada now.

  Nothing to do with potential travellers such as myself thinking that with random testing on arrival with the prospect of being shoved into quarantine as well as having to wear a mask at the airports and whilst on the inbound is somewhat of an unsavoury prospect

  At Toronto when we boarded the plane a few weeks ago
  ( we had flown to Chicago and crossed at Niagara and thought that because of being in canada 2 days the risk of quarantine was worth it,and tested before we entered to have the contingency of entering Canada and going straight to Toronto same day as you have 24 hours to do a test)
  Everyone had masks on and did not take them off initially
  A splendid British Airways posh sounding captain made an amusing anouncement
  “Ladies and gentlemen the doors are now closed. This means that we are under british jurisdiction and therefore you do not need to wear masks”
  The Cabin manager wore his for another couple of hours but then discarded it as he probably did not want to be the only masked person

    I think you’ll find Canada’s random testing on arrival stopped last month…

    Really amusing story about masks. You seem like a fun person.

  We just cancelled our Avois flight to Vancouver a week or so ago. Simply unaffordable at present to both stay somewhere nice and tour around

    I know what you mean!
    I’m booked for August and even fairly basic hotels are £300 per night. Perhaps this confirms exactly why points are useful.

      I’d just be buying a few Hyatt points and redeeming, given that Hyatt still has capped redemption prices and ‘last room availability’ for rewards.

  Completely flabbergasted by how much better value it is to use a 241 on this route exDUB rather than exNCL. Does anyone know what happens to the taxes and charges if you depart from DUB but return to NCL?

  • AJA says:

    I think it would still be cheaper as APD is only charged on departures from the UK and not on arrivals. And I guess Dublin doesn’t have quite the same other surcharges

    Can 2-4-1 be used for flights not originating in UK? Or is it only for the ‘new style’ vouchers issued from Sept 2021 onwards?

    • Rob says:

      9 Jul9 July 12:51

      Latter.

    I thought start and end points had to be the same though?

    You could do a couple of dummy bookings to find out!

    I have done DUB-LHR-SIN-SYD in business for circa £300 pp out and SYD-SIN-LHR only return for about the same adding it a couple of weeks later to a new 2-4-1.

  We are heading for Montreal next Wednesday, and spending a couple of weeks going up and down the cities on the St Lawrence river.

  Hotels are indeed expensive, but we booked well ahead of time and seem to have decent deals. Or maybe the pound has recovered a bit.

  We are hiring a car to drive around the Charlesvoix region between Quebec City and the Saguenay river – anyone have a recommendation on best restaurants in that area?

  Thanks for this, got a week at half term in business both ways. Appreciate the tip as had been having difficulty finding 4 seats to anywhere!
