Best Flight Compensation Options

Posted on by Roberta Hill

In the evolving landscape of the airline industry, a notable trend is the increasing use of payment-delaying tactics by airlines to avoid flight compensation. Various factors, including financial pressures and operational challenges, drive this trend. Airlines, facing tight margins and unforeseen costs, often resort to delaying payments, especially regarding compensations for flight delays, cancellations, and other service disruptions. This strategy serves as a short-term financial buffer for them but can significantly inconvenience passengers awaiting flight compensation payment. The practice affects customer satisfaction and complicates the compensation process, leading passengers to seek assistance from organizations like AirHelp and Flightright. These companies…

The Glacier Express: The Swiss Alpine Wonderland

Posted on by Roberta Hill

I have recently published my book: “Unforgettable Train Journeys Across the Globe: Rails and Wonders.” You can order it on Kindle here. I thought I would share one of the chapters here with you. We never did the Glacier Express in Switzerland, but we finally did go on the Jungfrau Railway in 2010. The Jungfrau Railway in the Swiss Alps is a cogwheel railway known as the Jungfraubahn in German. It transports visitors from the picturesque village of Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch, often referred to as the “Top of Europe.” The journey took us through tunnels and steep mountain…

Rouses Point and Border Crossings

Posted on by Roberta Hill

Yesterday, we drove down from Montreal to Rouses Point, New York State, to visit an old friend and have lunch together. I had utterly forgotten how close the US border is for us and how easy border crossings still are for us. At the main crossings, the lines can be rather long. The driving took about an hour, considerably less than a trip to Rawdon. We took a back road across the border and down to Rouses Point to avoid a significant crossing. Rawdon – The Perfect Day Trip From Montreal Rouses Point is a charming village in upstate New…

Exporail Canada's Biggest Railway Museum

Canada’s Biggest And Best Railway Museum

Posted on by Roberta Hill

Exporail, located in Saint-Constant, Quebec, is Canada’s largest railway museum. It’s a paradise for train enthusiasts and history buffs alike, offering an in-depth look into the evolution of railways in Canada. My son visited last year, so I asked him how long the visit took. He said they took their time and stayed at least three hours.  He said it could be done in two if necessary… WRONG!  We were there in the afternoon until it closed, a good four hours. The museum has over 160 vehicles, including historic locomotives, passenger cars, and rare models. The exhibitions are designed to…

Good Grief Deer Lake Newfoundland

Posted on by Roberta Hill

We managed to go around the world with 20 different flights and not have one incident, except for our first flight with Air Canada. Our suitcases didn’t make our connecting flight with United in Chicago. Deer Lake Newfoundland Air Canada took off on Thursday to visit Les Iles de la Madeleine knowing that for the past day and a half, the weather has been too fogged in to be able to land. Air Canada hoped the fog would lift when we got to Les Iles de la Madeleine. Of course, there was insufficient fuel to return, so we flew to…
