      Thanks for the comment! I was also placed at the end of the train, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter since you can walk between cars. As you saw, the middle card appeared less full...and I'd choose these on future trips. You can choose any car no problem when booking your seat. As there are four, try to snag the box seat so you have an area to yourself. Enjoy your trip!

    Having used this product in 2023, I wonder how it's doing now with Hankyu's competing PRIVACE product. I think this is the better one comparing all of Shinkansen, JR, and the two private railways. Hankyu's reserved seating product tends to flat-out stop serving passengers once there is a service disruption during the day; JR's competing product is expensive both for the A-Seat and Shinkansen (despite having onboard washrooms).

    • @theglobalpeasant
      @theglobalpeasant Місяць тому

      I have never heard of the privace until you mentioned it! I'll have to check it out. The Kansai area is large enough to support the many rail companies and premium seating so I imagine it's doing fine. Commuters gravitate to the line which serves them the best. I doubt many routinely take the shinkansens from Osaka to Kyoto unless they have a rail pass.

    They’re doing this ultrabasic thing because flair hasn’t gone under yet, it’s westjet saying “we do want to split flair’s market, but only if we can treat the low fare passengers as cattle to achieve our other goals of faster boarding and less free gate checking carry on bags due to bulk outs” Westjet started out as a budget carrier so they’re trying to brand it as a return to their roots, not the battle to kill flair that it is. Swoop was never a serious airline, westjet thought by operating it separately they could kill flair without lowering their mainline prices.

    9:54 I used to work for westjet, while the new owners are cheap and kind of awful, I don’t think they were lying. they were pushing 30 minute boarding where 45 was the standard. We also bulked out (too many carry ons) almost every time the flight sold out, often bulking out even with unsold seats in winter. (Bulkout= forced gate check)

      ya I often hear gate checking (across both airlines). If they provided a small checked baggage allowance, this would speed up boarding, imo

    I often fly NH and JL domestic internationally and domestic often and both great airlines. An interesting route and reasonably priced J class is to Ishigaki on Jal Transocean 738.

      Yes! I've seen this flight in the past. I have never been to Ishigaki yet, I tend to bounce from HND to OKA, more often than not.

    Do you have to pay for the lounge if your flying with airline in economy

    • @theglobalpeasant
      @theglobalpeasant Місяць тому

      This is a good question. I guess it depends on the airline if they allow purchases at the front. Some do, some don't. Generally speaking, to get into a lounge of a mainline carrier is either with status, or a business class ticket. There are pay-per use lounges such as Plaza Premium which anyone can use.

    I grew up in Thunder Bay and remember what it used to be like flying to Toronto.In the late 60s Air Canada flew the Vickers Viscount that I remember being very comfortable and a plane that would be just as fast and modern as the Dash 8 used today .After the Viscounts were taken out of service it was on to the jet age for Thunder Bay . Air Canada flew the DC 9 and CP Air flew the 737 . At one point AC flew the 727 as well . Back then the flights were much more premium with polite flight attendants and a hot meal and free flowing beer . You could even smoke back in the day if you can believe it . Flying was really special back then good food great experience and I can’t remember it being extremely expensive it was within everyone’s reach . Sadly today looking at Thunder Bay the only planes flying there are prop dash 8 with Porter or Air Canada . I hate flying on the dash 8 they are very uncomfortable and noisy not much room inside and never a smooth landing because with the high wing you don’t get that cushion of ground effect that you get on low wing planes . I would gladly fly on those Vicker Viscounts any day over the dash 8 . Oh well I guess that is the state of Canada these days going in reverse.

      Wow! I'm sure you've seen much change since the 60's in terms of travel and Thunder Bay. The times definitely have changed haven't they. Sometimes Air Canada will use jet aircraft. They flip flop from Rouge, AC Express, and AC mainline fleet. In January I was on a Rouge 321 I believe. You're right about the dash 8, however, from those planes are just a work horse in Canada. They are cheap to operate (relatively speaking), and can facilitate smaller communities and airports. I think it was last year or two years ago they repaved one runway at YQT, so only dash 8's can land on that smaller north/south runway. Thanks for the comment!

    Great review. I just got back from Japan and was blown away by their transit and regional train operations. I dont believe I interacted with 1 person from the time I purchased my ticket to the time I got to my destination. The train attendant on the bullet train stoped to pas out a hot towel but that was it! The whole process is so seamless, it’s all automated!I I agree, the VIA rail boarding process is very airline like. Not sure why automatic gates that scan QR codes aren’t installed at the entrance of the concourse and then passengers just board when the train are indicating boarding. The entire process seems very inefficient and costly. I still don’t get why people que when there are assigned seats. I guess VIA’s process lack of seating in the concourse and habit may be reasons. Cant wait to try the new trains.

    • @theglobalpeasant
      @theglobalpeasant Місяць тому

      Ya things are done very well here. Not perfect, but very good! For automatic gates, I imagine the fact the platforms are narrow is an issue. Also, for inter-provincial transportation Id is required, where in Japan it is not. Nonetheless there's much which can be improved with via. it's getting better but not *there* yet.

    • @A_Canadian_In_Poland

      Money. Via actually wanted to install gates and barcode scanners similar to what is seen at the SNCF terminal stations in France.
