Beep Beep! our alarms went off at 430 am and we sleepily got up. We were at the check-in desk just after 5 and walk straight up to the Premium desk., The usual- did you pack yourself etc- and 2 mins later we are leaving with our boarding passes - seats 1D and 1E Front row. :) Then it was off to security with us which was empty due to the time of day so we flew through and headed for a well needed cup of coffee and breakfast.
We were called first for the plane and went straight on to be welcomed with a choice of rose champagne or orange juice- what a change from easyjet the day before. At our seats we find lots of legroom due to the front rowness, a blanket, pillow, and a bag of goodies- socks, moisturizers, wipes etc. It really is the simple things in life.
A few hours sleep, shrek 3, iron man 2 and Gavin and Stacey later we begin our descent into Edmonton. I enjoyed our premium class trip and will willingly pay to upgrade again.
Straight to customs and anything to declare? eh not this time. The customs girl was very excited that we were in Edmonton for the year and was apologising for the rain that is apparently unusual here. We picked up our bags and went nervously to immigration. There were several families in front of us becoming permanent residents which held up the queue as the officers had to verify all the paperwork. Then it was our turn- another extremely nice officer who apologised for the rain while printing our permits. It official we're Canadian - until 28th September 2011 at least!
