Air Canada | Signature Class Review

On the Ground: I arrived at Heathrow Airport after a trip to London for the World Travel Market Conference. As I arrived at the Air Canada check-in counter, the helpful staff directed me to the security checkpoint. Once through the line, and a bit strapped for time, I walked quickly to my gate, where an extremely kind concierge service member greeted me. She asked how my trip was and said she had been watching for me so she could assist me with boarding early to ensure a calm and easy departure. She had assisted me earlier that week when I processed through security from Toronto to London, so it was nice closing my trip with a friendly face. She escorted me onto the plane and to my seat in the beautiful Signature Class cabin of the Boeing 787-8, introducing me to the flight attendant who would be directing cabin staff during my flight. I thanked the concierge for her hospitality throughout my journey. Experiencing what the Air Canada Super Elite-level members enjoy as features of their commitment to the brand helped me understand the appeal of retaining that status.

Mondrian South Beach Hotel Visit

I recently traveled to Miami, Florida, for meetings. I spent the week meeting with clients; and since I had meetings on Friday, I decided to stay on for a day or two and work on my tan. A bit of sunshine was in order to offer a healthy glow. I had the pleasure of staying at the ever-hip yet elegant Mondrian South Beach Hotel. Situated bayside on Miami Beach, it offers the eclectic vibe one seeks when visiting Miami.
