Hardee’s Breakfast Hours: When Do They Serve Breakfast?

For the longest time, Air Canada and WestJet have been dominating the Canadian airline industry, which has led to the prevalence of high airfare. However, with the emergence of new contenders, things are finally changing. Flair Airlines is one such competitor of the legacy airlines that have a strong hold on the Canadian Airline industry. It is a low-cost carrier that has been expanding its operations during the pandemic to include U.S. travel hotspots like Arizona, Florida, California, and Nevada, continuing to operate on an extensive Canadian route network that covers most major cities in the country. Here is my brief take on the Flair Airlines experience I had. Keep reading because this is going to be very useful. My Experience Of Flair Airlines Image Source: assets.bwbx.io Here is a first-hand experience or a Flair Airlines review of the recent travel I had flying from Toronto to Montreal. Read on to know if it was worth it. Booking Image Source: thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net I booked my flight on Google Flights, searching for the cheapest flight from Toronto to Montreal. On my date of flight, both Flair and Air Canada had early morning flights, and yet Flair was priced at half of the Air Canada ticket. There was, of course, the added benefit of a full-size carry-on bag but even on a standard fee, Air Canada would be charging for seat selection. Flair is a solid selection if you are traveling light, even if it includes seat selection. The Flair Airlines baggage policy is a little icky if you are traveling heavy instead. A one-way flight on December 15 via Flair costs 40. Whereas WestJet’s and Air Canada’s cheapest flights are $135. I had to pay a minimum of $7.90 for seat selection. Check-in Image Source: thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net It was a simple experience checking in at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. All of Flair’s Toronto flights depart from Terminal 3, so that is where I did my check-in. Flair has a few baggage drops and check-in counters located in the center of the terminal. Ground Experience Image Source: thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net My flight was supposed to depart from Gate B38. I cleared my security in under 10 minutes. The airport was mostly empty, given the wee hours we were departing (7:30 a.m.) There were some shops open despite the timings, so I got a coffee and yogurt from Starbucks and sat away from the crowd for some uninterrupted breakfast. Flair does not have its own lounges. Cabins And Seats Image Source: thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net The flight was one of Flair’s three 737-800 (read tiny) aircraft. The airline operates with economy-only cabins suited for its ultra-low-cost carrier. The interiors were nondescript and spotless. It is simply designed without any frills like over or seatback displays. The flight was made with the intention of taking a passenger from point A to point B. The seats were comfy enough at the cost I paid. They did not recline, but they were not as slim as other similar carriers in the U.S. The extra padding on the seats helped ease the other small space. The leg room was commendably larger than its other similarly ranged carriers. It also had a full-size tray that could easily fit a 16-inch Macbook Pro. Spirit Airlines offers only a small drink tray. Flair Airlines Amenities Image Source: thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net There are no inflight amenities or entertainment. There is no wifi, streaming services, or outlets on the 737-800. Keeping that in mind, have your devices on a full charge and make sure to get a window seat to keep yourself entertained for these otherwise short flights. The food and beverage services could get you to pay $2.75 for a soda and $5.50 for a Molson beer. A coffee would cost $2.35. All that after currency conversion. My Verdict Image Source: runwaygirlnetwork.com I did not have much qualms about flying with Flair. It was a regular journey from one place to another. The airline’s internet service is also set to launch soon so that too can be an attraction for travelers. Flair’s rapid expansion is on its way to breaking through the expensive air carrier industry with its budget-friendly approach. Flair Airlines Tripadvisor Reviews Image Source: media.flyflair.com I told you what I felt from my experience. But if you want to know what others are saying about Flair Airlines, here are some of the Flair Airlines reviews left by real flyers on Tripadvisor. In case you are asking yourself, “Is Flair Airlines good” or “Is Flair Airlines safe,” here are all your answers: "My mom and I traveled to edmonton in the beginning of July to a convention, it was my first time on plane and was understandably nervous. The folks when I arrived at the gate was friendly and welcomed us! Everything was on time and found our seats okay, we will definitely upgrade next time but being it was only an hour 1/2 flight it was fine. If you are flying and bringing more than 1 bag and carry on, one thing I recommend to save $ is to purchase a package online and pre book. It's the one thing I wish I knew before hand. Otherwise baggage is pricey. Coming back from Edmonton it was a great experience too! Given the option I will choose Flair again to travel within Canada. Prices are good and the staff are very friendly. Even better, our flights to and from were 10 minutes early. So bonus!" Ashley P "After reading some questionable reviews about Flair i was convinced i was not going to have a good experience. I am blown away by the level of kindness and overall attentiveness of the flight attendants, along with the customer service i had received over the phone. Had bought our seats prior to both flights and we had no problems with keeping those seats unlike some other airlines that tend to mess that up every time. I highly recommend this airline to everyone and will gladly be returning!" Stefanie b "I am tired of people complaining in this industry. Covid changed many things, but I am grateful to travel again. We took a family trip out to Vancouver Island with Flair. Captain Tyler McDermot was wonderful and after the flight, I was invited for a picture with him. The crew were wonderful, check in was quick and our flight on time. Great job Flair!!!" Gail G "Booked online and purchased carryon only. Checked in online to avoid paying checkin fee at airport. Downloaded movies and brought my own snacks. People need to realize that Flair base prices only include your seat. Their website clearly states all extra costs. It would be great if Flair continues their Windsor to BC route throughout the whole year. I booked taking a chance, after reading all of the negative reviews about cancelling, I guess I was one of the lucky ones. It's nice to have a direct flight to BC from Windsor and avoid paying three times more, with other airlines and having connections, at either Pearson or Metro.” monicahumenny Wrapping Up Have you taken a Flair flight recently?

Located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula of Mexico is the famous region of “Los Cabos.”   This is recognized by the diverse coastline that separates the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of Cortez because of the two different towns that exist there: Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo that are joined by a corridor with many beaches and bays.  The Cabo beaches have water characteristics, accessibility, and activities that differ from one another.   There are those with calm water suitable for swimming, while others have strong currents ideal for walking, taking photos, or surfing. This is important for travelers visiting the area and have plans for activities at the beaches of Los Cabos. Geography Of Cabo Beaches The coast of Los Cabos is influenced by two bodies of water:  Pacific Ocean (West-Facing beaches)  Generally rougher water, bigger waves, and rip currents.  Sea of Cortez (east-facing beaches)  "More tranquil conditions, clearer water, and improved protection in bays."  This is why swimming and snorkeling are recommended to be undertaken in particular spots.  Beach Safety And Water Conditions Not all beaches in Cabo offer safe swimming. There are strong undertows and steep drops in many areas, most notably on the Pacific side.  Beach Flag System The majority of the popular beaches have a flag system that indicates the conditions of the water:  Green flag – Calm conditions  Yellow flag – Moderate currents, caution advised  Red flag – Hazardous conditions; do not swim  Black flag – Beach closed  Visitors should make sure to check flags and signs before entering the water.  Beaches In Cabo San Lucas The different beaches of Cabo San Lucas. 1. Medano Beach Medano Beach can be found in the nearby marina area of Cabo San Lucas and represents one of the more developed spots along the coastline.  The beach has relatively calm waters, unlike other Pacific-side beaches, and is thus often employed for swimming and aquatic sports. There are eating establishments and hotels along this coastline.  2. Lover’s Beach (Playa del Amor) Because it can only be reached by water, the Lover’s Beach is located close to the iconic rock formations at the famous “Land’s End.”  One side of the beach is calm since it meets the Sea of Cortez, while the other lies adjacent to “Divorce Beach,” which meets the Pacific Ocean and has dramatic waves.  3. Divorce Beach (Playa del Divorcio) This is a beach that is parallel to Lover’s Beach on the Pacific side. The waves are not ideal for swimming, and there are rip currents.  Beaches In San José del Cabo The different beaches of San Jose del Cabo. 1. Palmilla Beach Palmilla Beach is famous for its protected bay and quiet waters. It is among the beaches that have relatively stable swimming conditions, depending on the weather and the tide.  2. Costa Azul Beach Costa Azul has a number of breaks and is famous mainly for surfing. It has varying water conditions, making it not very suitable for swimming.  3. Hotel Zone Beaches In the hotel zone at San José del Cabo are long stretches of sandy beaches. While these are attractive, there are areas that have high currents and are not recommended for the inexperienced visitor. Swimmable Beaches In Los Cabos Swimming in Cabo should be restricted to beaches recognized for their calm conditions. These beaches are:  Chileno Beach  Santa Maria Beach  Palmilla Beach  Medano Beach (conditions vary)  Even in such places, circumstances change on a daily basis due to tides, wind, and seasonal changes in weather.  Snorkeling And Marine Life There are a few bays on the Sea of Cortez that offer snorkeling opportunities due to their protected location and clearer water.  Common Snorkeling Areas Chileno Bay – Gradual entry, reef visible  Santa Maria Bay - Horseshoe-shaped bay, calmer waters  The kinds of marine life that might be found there include tropical fish, rays, and others that migrate during certain seasons. The best time for snorkeling is usually early in the morning  Surfing Beaches Surfing in Cabo takes place mostly along open beaches, mainly around the area of San José del Cabo. Known Surf Areas Zippers  Acapulquito  Costa Azul  Surf conditions are dominated by swell directions, varying according to season, and larger swells usually occur from late summer to winter. Beaches For Walking And Scenic Viewing The Mexico’s beaches are more suitable for walking, photographing, and enjoying the sunset.  Pacific facing beaches around Cabo San Lucas  Playa Las Viudas  East Cape remote beaches  Usually, these regions experience intense wave action and shoreline formations. . Family Considerations Families staying in Cabo and wanting to visit beaches should consider  A calm water environment  Easy access  Availability of restrooms  Lifeguards on duty when available  Chileno, Santa Maria, and Palmilla are some varieties commonly used for these purposes. It is advisable that the conditions be checked, however.  Seasonal Considerations Winter (Dec–Feb): Cooler water, Whale migration offshore  Spring (Mar-May): Weather is stable; water conditions  Summer (Jun-Sep): Stable weather, moderate water conditions  Fall (October-November): Transitional weather, fewer crowds  Ocean conditions can change rapidly, no matter what season it is.  Public Access And Beach Use In Mexican law, every beach is public property even if it’s in front of a resort chain’s property. The access points to the beach might be an exposed pathway to the shore, but once you reach the shore, this is public property.  Amenities vary widely  Restrooms and parking are available at certain beach destinations  There are others which are undeveloped  The enforcement and laws concerning alcohol consumption and distribution might differ from one municipality to another.   Planning A Beach Visit In Cabo When visiting beaches in Cabo, it is advisable to.  Check water conditions every day  Safety signs that are posted  Don’t forget the sunscreen and water  Do not swim at unattended Pacific beaches  Compliance with local regulations and natural environments  Many wellness retreat villas in Cabo region are carefully placed in or just off the more quiet areas of the coastline.   Being in the beach environment affects the rhythm of life in the wellness retreats, ranging from the morning walks in the quiet bays to the practices conducted in the outdoors that make use of the beach breezes.   The beach environment is often simply incorporated as a passive element of the wellness activities that provide seclusion or insulate the participants from the busy beach environment. To Sum Up! The beaches in Cabo have various conditions that result from the influence of geography and development.  Knowledge on the suitability of various beaches for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, or sightseeing goes a long way in ensuring that one takes advantage of the experience while staying in Cabo. All one needs is the correct information.

Mumbai, formerly Bombay, is also called “sapno ka seher”, the city of dreams. It is a metropolitan city with many different people.  Be it a dreamer, laborer, gangster, top film industry celebrities, and ofcourse, vada pav lovers. Mumbai lives in contrast: the most expensive houses and the biggest slums, people earning millions and others just surviving the day. The urban city that never sleeps and surprising tropical forests.  Mumbai doesn’t just have big buildings and busy traffic. Mumbai’s heart lies in street corners, old buildings, small cafes, sea-facing promenades, and markets.  Among those who are always in a rush are some who seek solace in a big city like Mumbai.  Here’s a guideline to help you reach the heart of Mumbai. Buckle up; whether you're arriving on a Goa-to-Mumbai flight for a weekend break or planning a longer stay, this guide will help you with the 12 top things to do in Mumbai. Best Things To Do In Mumbai: Here are some of the places that make Mumbai feel like Mumbai and not like any other destination to travel. These experiences will make you feel you belong here: 1. Walk Through Mumbai's Colonial Heart Everyone will suggest you visit the Gateway of India, but before that, slow down and have a walk through South Mumbai to feel the essence. Start at Flora Fountain, walk past St Thomas Cathedral, and continue towards the famous Asiatic Society building.  Honestly, this is the place where you will understand that Mumbai wasn’t built overnight. Every corner has a story to tell. 2. Look Around For The Parsi And Irani Cafe Now, keep walking through the gali (lanes) of South Mumbai; you’d come across the fire temple and iconic Parsian cafes.  These cafes are hidden in lanes, and you will definitely be out of the wifi zones here. Jimmy Boy, Kyani & Co, and Yazdani Bakery will make you stop and wonder if it's the smell of the food, or you’re really hungry.  3. Visit Gilbert Hill Let’s be real, geology in mumbai; not in your bucket list, right?  But Gilbert Hill is one of those places that will subtly surprise you. The massive rock formation in Andheri, somewhat 66 million years old, makes it one og the world’s monolithic basalt hills.  And I’ll be honest, you will be standing on something that is even older than dinosaurs, whereas the chaos of Mumbai around you continues. 4. Explore Bandra Beyond The Cafés Whenever you step into Bandra, people will want you to flee to cafes, but that is certainly not the only place to visit.  Another by-lane cafe, along with the Parci, is the Portuguese-style homes, beautiful street art, and old churches. I would rather be lost in the lanes of Bandra than follow Google Maps. 5. Watch The City Wake Up At Marine Drive Almost everyone will drag you to Marine Drive in the evening with one Kulfi in hand. I would suggest paying a visit at sunrise instead. Come when the city is still calm, when the joggers are out, and uncles are discussing life over cutting chai.  This is the time when Mumbai feels a little different than any other part of the day. 6. Take Some Time To Admire The Neo-Gothic Architecture Bole to, these forts are recognized as UNESCO’s World Heritage Site. If you are into literature, these Victorian buildings will steal your heart.  Oval Maidan is the only place where Victorian heritage and Art Deco stand face to face. The easiest way to be there is to take a train to Churchgate. It is a 2-2.5-hour walk at a relaxed pace. Bombay High Court, Rajabai Clock Tower, CSMT and Elphinstone College are your spots. 7. Spend A Few Hours At Sassoon Docks If you want to see a more authentic side of Mumbai, head to Sassoon Docks to see the Koli people out for work. They are the original inhabitants of Aamchi Mumbai. Fishing boats arrive throughout the day, workers sort the catch, and colorful murals add character to the surrounding area. I mean, isn’t this the exact essence of the sea? 8. Take A Ferry To Elephanta Caves As Arijit Singh sang, “Safar khoobsurat hai manzil se bhi,” that definitely fits the ferry ride to the Elephanta Caves. Many visitors focus only on the caves themselves, but the ferry journey is part of the experience. Hop on the ferry from the Gateway of India to the caves and slowly witness the skyline and buildings fade from your sight. Take ample amount of time to feel the centuries-old rock-cut cave. I can bet it is fascinating. 9. Discover Mumbai Through Its Food “Bhau ek cutting chai dena” is a phrase I would want you to learn once you step into the streets of Mumbai.  Mumbai's food culture goes far beyond restaurant recommendations. Grab a vada pav from a busy local stall. Order pav bhaji at a long-standing eatery. Finish the evening with kulfi or gola by the beach. And the best part is, different neighborhoods have their own favorites, which makes exploring through food especially rewarding. 10. Escape The Crowds At Sanjay Gandhi National Park Believe me or not, there is a tropical forest in between these urban buildings. Finding a national park inside a city isn't something you expect. Yet that's exactly what you'll find in Mumbai. If you need an escape button from traffic, noise, and busy streets, spend a few hours exploring Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The greenery, trails, and forest will, for a moment, make you forget that you are standing in one of the busiest cities in India. 11. Watch The Sunset From Malabar Hill After running around Mumbai, if you want to hit the pause button, come to Malabar Hill. Look around and try finding a spot near the hanging gardens; watch the sun slowly defeated by the horizon of the Arabian Sea. 12. End Your Day At Juhu Beach No, Juhu Beach is definitely not the cleanest beach, but that’s not a point. I'll be honest, people come here for the vibe. That reminds me of Ishan Avasti wandering by himself with a gola in his hand on Juhu Beach (Taare Zameen Par). You’ll find families catching the evening breeze, kids flying kites, and local street food stalls working overtime. Grab a plate of spicy pav bhaji or a tangy bhel puri, take a walk along the shore, and just watch the city breathe. Plan Your Journey Before You Arrive Aamchi Mumbai will teach you 2 things: people here are always in a hurry, and the traffic almost never is. If you are stepping off a Goa to Mumbai flight, map out your accommodation before you touch down. Depending on the hour, the drive from the airport can either be a quick cruise or a lesson in patience. A few travel tips that always comes handy: Check-in online whenever you can: Save time by skipping the airport check-in desks. Since most airlines open their check-in window 48 hours before departure, I suggest you complete your web check-in to secure your boarding pass.  Know your timelines: While domestic flights are straightforward, international flight check-in usually requires a 3-hour head start.  Audit your luggage: Nobody likes spending extra time at the check-in counter; review the policy prior to packing to save time and money! Stay Ahead of the ScheduleFlight times fluctuate. Before you leave for the terminal, check your flight status or view it live on your phone. If you are flying with the national carrier, you can track Air India flight updates, check your flight PNR status, or monitor the broader flight schedule right from their app.The same logic applies when you are leaving the city. Taking a minute to verify your flight time before heading to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport saves you from sitting in terminal lounges longer than you need to. Plan Your Trip NOW! Mumbai is one of the cities that grows on you. You surely would visit the landmark that goes unsaid, but the real magic is when the tunes and the people make you visit places you did not plan for.  The best experiences often come from mixing the famous attractions with neighborhood walks, local food, historic streets, and places that don't always appear in traditional travel guides. And it is great if you slow down; Mumbai is already in enough rush. So if this is your first visit or fifth, there is always something new to experience here, but a few things that never change- bhau ki cutting chai, aur akka Mumbai ka favorite vada pav.
