Hello YVR Connections readers! My name is Breanna and I am one of three tour guides who are part of the YVR school tour program The Future Lands Here. Jake, Annalisa and I give tours of the airport to local grade five students.

Plane-spotters who enjoy seeing Cathay Pacific’s Boeing 747-400 commercial flight take off and land at YVR better take one last glimpse before Cathay Pacific retires the aircraft on Saturday, October 27. To mark this occasion, we’re giving away several Cathay Pacific 747-400 models!

Today we dug into the video vault and found one of our favourite videos from Live@YVR. It’s been a year since Live@YVR’s Jaeger Mah interviewed June, a YVR employee who works at Starbucks in the Domestic Terminal. We thought it was high time to share this cheerful video for a Friday “laughternoon” break.

Keeping entertained and connected while travelling has become much easier in recent years. Tablet computers have replaced heavy laptops; e-readers have replaced a stack of books and portable DVD players and Smartphones keep the little ones entertained.

September often gets a little hectic as everyone settles back into their routine. Before you know it, the leaves are changing colour, the October long weekend has snuck up on you, and it’s a scramble to get everything ready for that flight to Aunt Muriel’s annual Thanksgiving dinner.
