Superb and memorable experience - We have now been to Vancouver several times to visit family, and each time I was drooling in front of these seaplanes. For my 60th birthday my wife gave us the round trip ticket Vancouver Nanaimo because we had to spend a short stay in Gabriola. Unforgettable experience. Especially the return to Vancouver at the end of the afternoon, we were only 3 passengers in this 13-seater DH3: you could see the whole landscape, left to right. Flight not too high 1000ft about. But especially the ditching in Vancouver great: directly above Stanley Park, we saw all of Burrard Bay and the Vancouver West End and Downtown. A memorable memory!

It’s got really bad over the years, it’s not the HA we used to know. - I have been flying HA for well over 10 years. Trying to call HA customer service for 2 days and I was kept waiting for over an hour on day one and one and a half hours on day 2. Tried all the numbers later and also could not speak to anyone. Arriving from international flight at YVR, also tried to call without anyone picking up. On one of the other flights I asked for assistance for my wife with her luggage which was confirmed but no one in sight when arriving. No more shuttle bus from YVR but phone and number still nicely displayed. Also no more shuttle from Richmond, told to walk 100 steps but none of the staff knows when the alternative shuttle from the airport south is leaving. No more snacks in the waiting hall, but sign nicely displayed that snacks are for passengers only. Sorry but that’s not the HA that I knew before.
