Flight details

Hello everyone,

Yes, I am just counting the last number of days here in Canada. I will be flying out to Switzerland New Year's eve. It will be my first time flying in this special time of the year. I hope the flight is not boring and that they bump all passengers into if not first class business class (how I wish!)

Flight details are as follows:

31 Dec - Winnipeg - Montreal Trudeau (departs 0845)

Then, I'll have a four-hour lay-over in Montreal. What do I do with this? I really wanted to take the opportunity to wander round Montreal centre-ville but apparently, the airport is way way far downtown. There's actually a shuttle bus that takes you to downtown central bus station, but oh well since Switzerland will be such an expensive destination, lets tighten our belts and save. Bah, I`ll just try to airport-watch then (and people-watch as well), possibly to get some inspiration to write my scientific paper :)

Although my flight number is AC, my flight will be operated by Swiss (in airline parlance: codeshare)

Then, here's the big flight. I'll be on my Swiss flight at 1700 arriving in Zurich 0625 New Year's day. So it will be somewhat interesting, spending the new year inside the plane. Will they be popping champagne at 35,000 ft? Will the pilot and stewardess get drunk as they party hard mid-Atlantic? We'll see:)

Feel free to (ahem) be one of my well-wisher(s) on my departure day..... (will there be or not?)
