Flying to Montreal

We flew Northwest and the flight was fine. I took my PowerBook and two batteries to work during the flight. I also bring in-ear headphones to listen to music and tune out the ambient noise. Customs and the Montreal airport were easy and I noticed that the signage in Montreal was very well done. I always judge an airport by it’s signage and we could easily figure out where we were and need to go, and that’s with French and English translations.

Northwest doesn’t offer food any longer, except for a nasty snack pack, so we packed protein shakes and bars. After talking to other travelers, I don’t think the food cost savings are worth the anger passengers have or not getting a bag of peanuts or having to buy a snack pack.

There was no Internet service on the flight, but I was able to be productive and get some work done.
