Wow, so #HarbourAir has gone from "get 10-12% back in credit on flights" to "you get benefits that make little difference to you" (get scenic tickets, and beverages).

Basically, it's gone from better to worst than a traditional commercial airline rewards program. At least those get you points you can "spend" on things even if trying to figure out the best use/value is annoying.

So #HarbourAir the float plane company, just cancelled all my flights for the next 2 months. They've added it to the "seasonal" route list, meaning no flights on weekdays after Oct 5, and only the occasional weekend flight until next summer.

Result: If you want to travel to #Vancouver from the #Cowichan #CVRD, you need to add an extra hour each way and pay to get to Nanaimo.

Check out the #eplane at #HarbourAir if you’re in #Downtown #Vancouver today. I hear the #Yeti will be flying back to #Richmond #YVR at around 5pm.
