    The fact that you don't have like 500k+ subs already makes me a little mad.
    Your reviews are amazing.

    And the Oscar for the BEST aircraft/airline review EVER goes to the Vicarious Voyager. You sir are an absolute genius and this, like your other offerings are the epitome of excellence. Thank you for your time and your effort, although this seems effortless to you.

    Interesting facts about Mirabel: PE Trudeau was the man behind Mirabel’s construction. It was supposed to be a Montreal/Ottawa serving massive airport with 6 runways and 6 terminals (only two of each were built). It failed because it was just too far to all city centres and it was built on the speculation that planes heading to Pacific North America from Europe would have to stop and fill up (think similar to Anchorage, Alaska). Of course plane technology improved before the airport was ever completed and airlines didn’t like being forced away from Dorval. Ironically, PE got an airport to his namesake, just the airport he wanted shut down not the one he wanted built.

    • @VicariousVoyager
      @VicariousVoyager  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yeah he wanted it to be like Gander, but alas ETOPS happened and the world changed.

    Hey there! This is the first video I watched from you and I have to say that the quality I found here was outstanding.
    I work at YUL for Air Canada but I still really appreciated the information about the city and airport. If I was a foreigner planning to visit this city, that intro would've been right up my alley. Thank you so much for sharing your work and I am proud to say that you have found a new subscriber in me!

    • @VicariousVoyager
      @VicariousVoyager  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @patrickbaddoo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes indeed.But can you do a behind-the-scenes of your editing process? At least for once.Starting with the sort of tools you use and all.Some of us wanna learn from you.
      Cheers

  • @Niccokai
    @Niccokai 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Just saw this video instantly impressed by the story telling, sarcastic humour and what looks like a pretty self aware and transparent "review" or presentation of an Airline product. Good work man keep it up, this style of video is unique, well executed and I cant wait to see more!

  • @kaivanloon
    @kaivanloon 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Wow, after watching 2 videos of you, I can already tell you have past Dennis Bunnik as my favourite trip reporter. You are hilarious while monotone and honest, damn this channel deserves more.

    Amazing trip report! I just wanted to note that Montreal recently started building the new REM (Réseau Express Métropolitain) project. This will be a train/monorail linking many parts of the city to downtown Montreal, with even a link between the airport and downtown! Can’t wait for this to be built, it will sure give an upgrade to the experience of local travellers like me! 😃

  • @spittymcgee4171
    @spittymcgee4171 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    0:38 now some of you viewers have expressed interest in me making hotel reviews, I'm not opposed to the idea but I was thinking about making another channel just for that. If you have any thoughts on the subject please leave a comment down below and I'll be sure to ignore you. lol

    What a beautifully equipped cabin! European airlines could learn a lot from this on how to equip a business class cabin on a narrow-body aircraft. For example, BA just keeps the centre seat of three empty in business class. Leg room is the same as Economy. Food is nice though.

  • @BomberFletch31
    @BomberFletch31 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm not normally a fan of narrowbodies, but I make an exception for the Bombardier C-Series. Hoping to get a ride on one of these beauties one day.

  • @andrewschmitz9707
    @andrewschmitz9707 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love the humour,and I have followed the C-Series from day one ,glad to see this amazing aircraft representing Canada. With family from Havre Boucher and Montreal this aircraft to me is personal. The deicing humour was ideal!

    @hothotheat3000 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your video quality is top notch. Love the graphics depicting the flight path and the metro system. This is really helpful for people who haven’t been to this airport before. I appreciate the effort this takes, instead of a basic edit of your flight footage. You really should have triple the subs you’ve currently got.

    Mate, brilliant content. By far, the most innovative within the category.
    Regarding the A220, it's hard to believe how well designed this narrow-body is. Everything looks spacious and neat.

  • @drmarkberber

  • @mpaul2012
    @mpaul2012 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I absolutely love your style. Your videos are amazingly crisp and well shot. Your commentary while sometimes bordering on sarcastic in a good way truly had me cracking up with this video. Air Canada should use your video to promote the A220.
    Would love to see more videos with perhaps the ME3 and especially some Asian Carriers. I think I only saw Cathay Pacific. Keep your great videos coming.

    • @VicariousVoyager
      @VicariousVoyager  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I travel mostly to Europe and within North America for work. However, I am planning a trip on miles to Asia so I’ll look into checking out some of the other asian carriers later in the year!

    7:30 ‘that’s a little too much!’

    Hi, your voice is well suited to speaking the narrative. Clever, “tongue in cheek” at times and of course with a focus on the work of an aviation vloger regarding airlines and their fleets. I welcome your style as an enjoyable change to aviation reviews on here, thanks for your great work👍

  • @geoffreytbh
    @geoffreytbh ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m flying business class on the a220 this summer and getting my ticket and choosing my seat in a couple of weeks. I always get a window seat and I love looking out the window a lot. When you sat in 1a was it easy to just turn your head and look out the window or would you have to lean ahead a bit. I’m torn between 1A and 2A and keeping the slightly extra leg room of 1A out of the equation is going to guide my decision

  • @TristouMTL
    @TristouMTL 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    FYI, Montréal is on an island at an angle in the Saint Lawrence and since the city naturally started from the river's edge, well, they just called it south. So the airport is considered west of downtown, despite what maps and the sun and your very impressive animation say.

  • @JPTech933
    @JPTech933 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    As a Montrealer, you make the city look good. Just as a side note the airport used to be just called Dorval which is the name of the "arrondissement" of Montreal where it is located, renamed Pierre Elliott Trudeau as you mentioned in the video, funny fact that the road signs indicate PET which French Quebecers laugh at because "pet" means farting (flatulence).

    Excellent video! Gotta love the A220. One side note, I believe the CRJ was the first Canadian jet put into service with Air Canada, also built by Bombardier. It was originally in their mainline fleet before going to the Jazz/Express division.
