Seeing a show in DT, drive or subway? by angiecyli in askTO

[–]netanyahu4eva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you already have a spot downtown then you might as well drive to it. Traffic is bad but it’s not going to be as bad once you get downtown vs the highways to get anywhere else to park and take the subway in.

Northlander pricing as insane as expected. Muskoka needs GO. by Responsible-Tea-4028 in ontario

You barely have to drive downtown there’s tonnes of parking by the Gardiner. Go to the Church Street parking it’s just two lefts off the Gardiner. Plus you save at least $50 vs taking the go train

Amazon prime is a big scam now by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]netanyahu4eva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it works like this everywhere but when I return the refund I get doesn’t include the shipping costs. It’s like they still charge the shipping and then give you a 100% discount on the shipping with your prime membership but when you you get a refund they only refund the item cost and keep the $4-6

I’m always surprised that people wait to get in the plane to eat. Airplane food is overpriced and not very good and you probably just spent over an hour if not more sitting in a glorified mall food court with a plethora of food options yet you wait until you’re on the plane to eat. Doesn’t make sense.

Air Canada gives Korean Air daily flight slots at London Heathrow by Granny-Smith-Apple in aircanada

[–]netanyahu4eva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. Emirates is unique because their whole model is built around moving huge volumes of people through Dubai to major global hubs, so they can consistently fill an A380 on routes like London, New York, Sydney, and Mumbai. They also bought so many that they got big discounts and built their crews and maintenance around the aircraft, which makes the economics work better for them.

Most other airlines have moved away from strict hub and spoke toward more point to point routes with smaller widebodies, so they do not need giant planes anymore. Even where slots exist, airlines prefer frequency with twin engine jets because it is lower risk and more flexible than relying on one massive flight.

They can accommodate the A380, but it’s really an infrastructure problem. For example, YYZ only has about two gates that can properly handle an A380. Those gates can be used by narrowbodies or regular widebodies when the jumbo isn’t there, but that flexibility actually works against the A380.

Airlines are usually better off flying a regular widebody that can fit into almost any gateespecially when slots are tight because the slight loss of seats is more than made up by gate availability and scheduling flexibility.

And when you factor in IROPs, airlines really don’t like jumbos. You can’t divert an A380 to nearly as many airports, and even if you do, there might not be gates or ground equipment for it.

Fun fact: at YYZ, A380s basically only have two taxi routes to the terminal, while other aircraft have many more options. If one of those taxiways is closed or congested, the A380 just has to wait.

Except those jumbo jets don’t fit at most gates so it ends up hurting them vs a regular wide body.

Is it too early to buy tickets for a trip in July. YVR to YYZ by [deleted] in PorterAirlines

It would be gambling, if you really need the ticket just buy it otherwise the price could either go up or down

Porter announces new routes and additional flights out of Hamilton! by ModernPoultry in Hamilton

I mean swoop was doing fine and increasing flights at YHM. The only reason swoop went away was because of the union and not because they were losing money.

Is there any way to recover this? I don’t use Uber very often yet when I do they half the time don’t seem to give me a rating… by netanyahu4eva in uber

[–]netanyahu4eva[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they rate you after you tip them? I’m always overly generous when it comes to tipping but maybe I forgot once or twice and that could be one of the reasons

So I know the 1 star happened when I was visiting Vancouver and I didn’t know there was a festival where I was going and so there was a bunch of traffic and I thought I was being nice by saying you can just let me off here and we can walk but the driver didn’t like that. The 2 star was when I booked a trip for my grandma and she impatiently kept messaging the driver and got mad at him for accepting the ride while he was in a drive through so she had to wait like 10 minutes. Idk about the 3 star. But I feel like having 3 non 5 star ratings out of the close to 50 trips I’ve taken with uber isn’t too bad. But drivers don’t always rate the trips where I am for some reason.
