YVR Maple Leaf Lounge International

Lovely lounge - and checkout the snow! Yep. Snow in Vancouver. I hope our flight gets off the ground. Our afternoon flight out of Whitehorse turned into an evening flight when the deicing fluid didn’t work the first time because it was so cold. The pilot had a little rethink and did all the preflight checks, then deuces and we got off the ground at around 7pm. For a 4:20 pm flight. One of the cabin crew told me we were within 30 seconds of not taking off the second time because ice was starting to form on the wings again.
