Coffee, tea or...birdseed?

'Hogan', a military macaw, accompanied by Lisa Harris, left, and 'Rainbow', a hybrid macaw, accompanied by Renée Martin, experienced a new kind of flying when they migrated from their home at Bush Gardens in Tampa to Montreal on Canadian, August 3, 1990.

The birds, which participated in a promotion for Canadian Holidays, were able ride in the cabin thanks to a new cabin baggage tie-down system developed by Knut Ohm, Customer Service Supervisor, and Ian Anderson, Ramp Procedures Analyst and refined by Rob Mets, Engineer.

Though Hogan and Rainbow remained in their traveling cage (foreground) during the B-737 flight, they did come out long enough to greet Captain Frank Latchford and Ray Gaule, System Passenger and Ticketing Procedures Manager, upon arrival in Montreal.

Fabulous fares for B-747-400 during training flights.

Employees, families and friends can experience service at special reduced fares when Canadian's second new B-747-400 is introduced between Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary from February 25 to March 16, 1991.

Canadian's newest aircraft, fin #882, was delivered February 15 and entered domestic service February 25 before beginning Vancouver - Tokyo service on March 17.

Special return fares of $197.47 Vancouver - Toronto, $157.47 Toronto - Calgary, and $97.47 Calgary - Vancouver were available for pleasure travel on flights operated by the B-747, with some return portions on other aircraft. Regular return Vancouver - Toronto economy class fare was $1,366.00.

"We're operating the B-747-400 on the transcon route to meet flight crew training requirements before the aircraft enters long-haul service and see this as a perfect opportunity for employees and friends to experience the B-747," said Terry Nord, Senior Vice-President Operations.

Editors' Note: Does anyone have any experience they wish to share from these flights?
