In September’37, Air Canada commenced with the name of Trans-Canada Airlines. The first 50 minute flight was on a Lockheed L-10A. It flew from Vancouver to Seattle, carrying some mail and only two people. The airline became popular very soon and Trans-Canada Airlines became Canada’s national airline, by the year’64. Around the same time, it was renamed as Air Canada. In the year’89, Air Canada was privatized. Around the same time, the airlines also took over the Canadian Airlines International.

The airline is today more than 70 years and is largest airline providing passenger service in Canada. It carries approximately 32 million passengers yearly, to 170 varied destinations worldwide. Air Canada ranked as–th among the different airlines worldwide.

Air Canada believes that travel should be convenient for its customers and therefore it is the only airline that offer flight passes. Flight passes allow the passenger to manage their travel online. These flight passes can be obtained either in the form of pre-purchased flight credits or a monthly subscription that provides you with unlimited flights in certain sectors.

Air Canada is indeed one of the world’s best airlines. This is the feedback provided from, none other than the customers of Air Canada themselves. The airline was awarded with the title of the ‘Best Airline in North America’, after a survey carried out, from August 2006 and June 2007. It also received the Airline Industry Achievement Award in 2007, for being a leader amongst all airlines. Air Canada has many ‘Best Airline in Canada and North America’ titles in its kitty, ranked by the readers of diverse travel magazines.

While Air Canada works hard to keep their passengers happy and satisfied, they work just as hard to do their bit for preserving the environment. They have already started this process by spending billions and investing in new aircrafts that are energy efficient. Air Canada has managed to reduce the emission intensity of their flights by 28%. They also have an ambitious target of improving their fuel efficiency by 25% by the year 2020.

Air Canada also has initiated various green in-house and recycling programs. They have joined hands with a fascinating program, known as ‘zerofootprint’. This program lets the customers to willingly counterbalance the carbon emissions caused due to the flights they have taken, by taking part in the reforestation program in the nation.

Even though Air Canada is undoubtedly one of the largest airlines in the world, it still requires the assistance of other airlines, to provide its customers with a well-connected and broad network of worldwide destinations.

London, England – A Tourist’s Guide

London is a thriving city – undoubtedly one the world’s best. It is a city that has never looked back or slowed down since the time of its first founding. Everything that you would want can be found within its center. As you would expect, a city that offers so much is a great place to visit and not somewhere that you could get bored. You could spend a lifetime exploring the place, but if you have just a few days, you can still get a real feel of what the city is about.

In fact, the history of London is a good place to start. The city’s history is rooted in everything from medieval times gone by to the crown jewels of the monarchy. It does not matter if you are a history buff or if you have not opened a book since elementary school social studies. London’s rich, full history is sure to interest everyone. A trip to London is not complete without a trip to the world-famous Madame Tussauds wax museum to visit the almost unsettlingly lifelike wax denizens inside. Be also sure to enter the London Dungeon to encounter the terrible dark side of the city. You will be able to see and learn about a side of London that few outside of the UK know about.

Inside the Tower of London, you will discover the crown jewels and hear tales of prisons made especially for only the most important prisoners. The National Portrait Gallery brings history and art together with exhibits of portraits depicting Britain’s most famous historical figures. Plenty of small museums and art galleries are found in London’s city center that are worth a stop, so make sure to leave time in your schedule to peek your head inside.

For the professional shopper, a stroll down Oxford Street is highly recommended. If the bustle of the city begins to wear on you, however, a stopover in Hyde Park brings the peace of the countryside to the city. Outdoor markets are one of London’s highlights, and you will find Portobello Market northeast of Hyde Park. London’s history does not exist only on the busiest streets. Charming side streets take the visitor to times past and to unexpected treasures such as Covent Gardens in central London. In the center of town, the London eye provides a bird’s eye view of the city and provides a comprehensive display of all that London has to offer.

As for the evening, you should start your night at one of London’s thousands of pubs, enjoying the local beers on tap with a group of friends. As midnight approaches, things really start to getting going in London’s countless dance clubs. Whatever your musical preferences, you will not be disappointed, as London provides it all – techno, trance, hip-hop and Latin to name just a few. Of course, if it is a football or rugby night, you have a great opportunity to watch a game before starting your festivities, as London is home to lots of teams.

For some, going to a conference can seem more trouble than it’s worth, what with the travelling, accommodation and deciding what you do and don’t want to see.

If you are definitely flying, then opting for indirect flights wherever possible will save you money, and if you can share accomodation too then you’ll save even more. This means you have more money to spend in you leisure time once you are there, or if your company is paying it shows you care about the company’s finances.

Another thing that will improve your conference experience is if you wear comfortable cloths. So check the dress code in advance and make sure you have suitable attire that you will still be comfortable in, and then once you pack your suitcase make sure you include a pair of comfortable shoes.

Most conference organisers will publish a plan of the stands and a programme of events prior to a conference or exhibition, so check their website a few days before. That way, you can be aware of who will be where and if there are any talks or seminars that are a must-see for you, meaning that you are able to plan your time more carefully and get the most out of the conference.

Some conferences have lots of freebies open to attendees such as pens, mugs, DVDs and sweets, recently exhibitors are becoming more and more unique with what they offer as freebies. Look out for freebies during your time at the conference.

Once you are booked onto a conference it might be a good idea to use it as an opportunity to make evening plans with any friends or family in the area. It’s great chance to catch up and planning a nice evening may help the conference seem like less of a work trip and there be more enjoyment from it.

Last of all, do take advantage of social networking by discussing the conference on facebook, twitter or any blogs that you may have. Doing this will mean that you are more likely to come across similar events and people who are also in the industry, this could result in many benefits.

If you’re the one wanting to organise a conference then using a conference venue finder can make things easier. Cheshire Business Tourism’s site has a built in conference venue search to help you find the perfect location.

Friendly relationship between these two countries has existed from the very beginning and continues today with great cooperation between the border patrols and visitations across the borders.

The snow peaks of the Rocky Mountains, as well as many other locations, are excellent for the many people who enjoy snow sports.
