Today we left DFW airport at 8:30 am bound for Vancouver, British Columbia. We had a connection in Phoenix. Our flight from DFW was completely full and we left on time. We got upgraded to first class which was nice. We had a nice seats on row 1, so nobody reclining their seat into our lap. When we got to Phoenix we landed at Gate A2 and believe it or not, we departed out of Gate A4 for our Vancouver flight. I think that was a first for me in Phoenix. Usually I had to run to the opposite end of the airport for my connecting flight. We didn't get first class on this one, but we had exit row seats which had plenty of leg room. Upon landing in Vancouver we had to wait in line to go through immigration but it went pretty fast. Then we got to wait forever for our luggage with PRIORITY tags. They were among the last ones out. Oh well. After we collected our bags we asked where the Fairmont Hotel was located. It was up the elevator and another 10 miles or so (walking). Or at least that is what it felt like. Once we got there we were greeted by the bellmen who wanted to know if we needed help with our luggage. I told them we had made it that far I felt like we could handle it the rest of the way.
We went to check in and there was no line. I had remembered to sign up for their club for Fairmont which gives you free wi-fi. I was surprised they would give it to me for my first stay but they did. The room we have is very nice and comfortable. Unfortunately we checked in after the restaurant had closed for lunch and we are having to wait until it opens for dinner. We are very hungry and I really don't want airport food.
We have talked about riding the train into Vancouver but will probably save that for tomorrow.
