summary: elias makes his decision

part one

-

The next available flight that Elias could get was the next evening, he’d called the airlines and surfed the internet but to no avail the first available seat was over twenty-four hours later.

He desperately wanted to be with you, to find you and talk about this.

He told him family what happened, why you left and how upset he was with himself.

They were upset with him too, shouting at him how they raised a better son and how disappointed they were by his reaction.

He felt horrible. He felt like a horrible person, boyfriend and dad.

He however felt a million times worse when the news played the next morning.

“and we have breaking news coming out of Canada! An international flight has crashed coming in to Vancouver. It’s not yet been announced which flight it was or where it departed from… there have been several casualties reported”

Elias felt like he couldn’t breathe.

He began crying, grabbing his phone to see if there was any extra news and trying to call you.

He got your voicemail time and time again.

He couldn’t sit here any longer, he had to do something. So he took himself to the airport — if it was your flight he’d be better in Vancouver than in Sweden.

The entire time in the airport, Elias was pacing back for forth, asking random by-passers any news on the plane crash.

If by a strike of luck, as Elias sat on his plane seat on the runway his phone lit up with a notification

‘it has been confirmed the vancouver flight crash originated out of heathrow airport - 6 people have been confirmed injured’

Maybe he should have felt guilty about the relief he felt when he read that.

It wasn’t relief those people were hurt.

It was relief that you were safe, his love was safe and his baby was safe.

The almost 10 hour flight was just filled with anxiety and Elias’ seat-mate was not too fond of his very shaky leg.

By the time he touched down in Vancouver airport Elias was sure he was going to have a panic attack, he tried calling you again.

There was still no answer.

He had claimed his luggage and went through customs before he fought his way through just about every tourist in the taxi rank so he could get a ride to the apartment.

When he got there he ran in, straight to the elevator completely ignoring the doorman who was welcoming him home.

When he made it to the apartment, he fumbled around in his pocket for keys — his fingers were too shaky to get a proper grip.

He flicked through the keys; his home in Sweden, Brock’s apartment, Canucks training facility, Nils’ home and finally your apartment.

The door unlocked and he threw the door open, letting out loud, winded breaths.

His eyes immediately fell on your sleeping form on the couch, fast asleep.

Shutting the door quietly as to not wake you , he rushed over to your sleeping form.

Kissing your head, his thumb rubbing over your cheek and pressing kisses on your shoulder too before he pulled the blanket from behind the couch over you.

After, he sat on the floor next to you in silence just staring at your chest rising up and down with every breath.

He sat there for four hours, not a word, not a sound before he began to fall asleep. When you woke, you saw his face not too far from yours, his head had fallen to the side and lay next to your stomach.

You grabbed a pillow from behind your head, lifting his softly and sliding it under knowing that he was going to wake up with a sore neck if he slept like that any longer.

You lay there a little longer, hand carding through his hair and scratching his scalp lightly.

He hadn’t chased you down the hallway of his parents home but he had followed you back to Vancouver. Maybe he was here to tell you to leave? To pack his stuff?

You didn’t get much of a chance to continue down the rabbit hole you had begun mentally climbing as Elias stirred awake under your hand.

You smiled at him softly “hey, baby, hey”

Once he’s fully regained his consciousness he grabbed your hand and kissed your knuckles repeatedly. You only let him, in this moment just needing to be by him.

The sweet moment soon turned to worry when you felt his tears on your hand and watched his shoulders shake with sobs

“Hey, hey what’s going on? What’s wrong?”

“I thought- I thought I’d lost you” he gasped.

You furrowed your eyebrows “I wouldn’t leave, I told you this was your choice. I just had to come home, I’ve been home waiting for you” you explained.

He shook his head “No, no there was a plane crash and I thought- I thought you were hurt, the baby was hurt!”

Your heart simultaneously broke and soared as you listened to him.

Your hands gripped the sides of his head and made him look at you “Babe, I’m here! We’re okay I promise…”

“I was so scared” Is all he said, now pushed up on his knees to kiss you.

When you pulled away from the kiss and your foreheads rested against one another he said

“I want this baby, I want this baby with you! I was scared and selfish but I love you and I know we are going to be good parents”

You sucked in your bottom lip and nodded “I can do this alone if you’re not confident, please don’t do this if you are not-“

He cut you off with another kiss “I am one hundred percent sure I want to start a family with the woman I love”

The tears that lined your eyes fell and you smiled “We’re having a baby”

He nodded “We’re having a baby”

You watched as Elias moved down your body, pulling the blanket down to your waist before you felt your shirt lift and he kissed your belly

“du är redan mitt allt” you are my everything already

You laughed “What are you two talking about down there?”

Elias smiled “That’s between me and baby”

“Can’t mom know?” “No, then we’ll let out all of our secrets”

You only smiled and said “I love you ‘lias, so much”

“I love You more, my angel”

Six months later and they were still up to their secret conversations.

You lay in your hospital bed listening to Elias speak to Astrid in Swedish.

“jag älskar dig redan, astrid�� I love you already, astrid

She cooed, no idea what her dad was saying.

“din mamma är bäst. vi är så lyckliga som har henne” your mom is the best we’re so lucky to have her

You could identify words, not sentences. They were talking about you “You two talking about me?”

Elias looked up at you, still bouncing your daughter in his arms “it’s secret, we won’t tell our secrets”

You only rolled your eyes “you two and your secrets”

The Monkees with CFUN DJ's Terry David Mulligan and John Tanner in Vancouver, April 1, 1967.

“Regina: CKCK’s Terry David Mulligan claims to be the first Canadian air personality with an interview with the Monkees and he has a tape to prove it. Anyone wishing a copy can take Mulligan up on his boast by sending him a blank tape and he will return a dub to sender. Terry also did a 30 minute Christmas show with Peter Tork, his sister and brother. They sang cuts from the Monkees new LP (Mulligan sings too)[,] sang a few carols and just chit-chatted in a relaxing mood.” - RPM Canada, January 28, 1967 (this Christmas 1966 anecdote was previously posted here and more about Christmas 1967 here)

“History records that The Monkees played their first Canadian concert in Winnipeg on April 1/1967. What never gets mentioned is that the first time all four Monkees set foot on Canuck soil was many hours earlier, in Vancouver, while en route to Manitoba’s capital city. Top 50 radio station CFUN assigned two deejays—Terry David Mulligan and John Tanner—to meet Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork at Vancouver International Airport. A photo op ensued in a private waiting area as the lads waited, shortly after sunrise, to board a connecting flight. 'If you study that picture, you could tell two of the guys (Davy and Peter) were really into it and the other two (Micky and Mike) didn’t really want to be there,' recalls Mulligan (second from right in photo). 'They weren’t pissed off at us. They were just tired and weren’t particularly into having their picture taken that early in the morning.' Nevertheless, all six exchanged pleasantries. Despite the early hour, Davy Jones seemed friendly and 'Mike Nesmith was so whip smart, while Micky Dolenz had this interesting Hollywood vibe about him,' remembers Mulligan. Terry and Peter got the opportunity to renew acquaintances. The previous year, when Mulligan was spinning discs at CJME Regina, 'who should walk in but Peter Tork. Of course, I asked: "What are YOU doing here?" And Peter answered: "My dad (Halsten John Thorkelson) teaches at the University of Saskatchewan and I dig your radio program."' Peter would take a couple of additional breaks from Monkees commitments to visit his family. Each time, he’d visit Mulligan at CJME. 'We’d always have really good off-air chats, in between as I was playing records.' For his part, CFUN deejay John Tanner (second from left in photo) boarded the plane bound for Winnipeg with The Monkees. 'I remember being at the tail of the plane while The Monkees and their entourage were much further forward. I walked up there at one point and noticed some of them were sleeping. So I went back to my seat as I didn’t want to bother anyone.' Prior to the late afternoon Monkees concert at the Winnipeg Arena, Tanner said he killed some time walking 'what seemed to be the coldest streets in Winnipeg.' Indeed, band insider David Price would mention the frigid 17 degrees Fahrenheit daytime temperature when he subsequently wrote a four-page article titled My Life With The Monkees—That Wild Canadian Weekend for 16 magazine that detailed the April 1 concert in Winnipeg and the ensuing show in Toronto on April 2. Price, who also served as a decoy for Davy Jones (in addition to other band duties), claimed The Monkees came to Canada aware of rumours that attempts might be made on their lives during the two concerts. In the 16 magazine piece, Price wrote: 'Mike asked me and his friend Charlie Rockett and Mike’s wife Phyllis’s brother Bruce Barbour to make sure that any packages that landed onstage were thrown off again, because one of them might contain a bomb.' In the end, the only ‘bomb’ at the Winnipeg show was a water bomb hurled at Micky Dolenz atop the seven-foot high stage just before opening song Last Train To Clarksville. Seconds before, the four Monkees burst out of phoney amplifiers on either side of the stage, with the boys having hidden themselves within when the house lights were momentarily turned off. Likely backing up The Monkees onstage was Candy Store Prophets. If so, that band’s members—including guitarist Tommy Boyce and keyboardist Bobby Hart—had played on many early Monkees studio tracks that Boyce and Hart produced. Winnipeg-based Electric Jug & Blues band opened the show. Press reports later revealed that before the concert, rambunctious fans charged past about 30 police officers as the band left the Hotel Fort Garry for the arena. Monkees publicist Don Berrigan described the incident as a 'near riot' adding 'Mike and Davy were knocked down. It was really nasty.' There were apparently well over 400 police and security inside the arena. Perhaps it was the security concerns that resulted in Winnipeg and Toronto fans receiving slightly shorter concerts than about a dozen previous American shows in late 1966 and early ‘67—13-song setlists, three less than south of the border. The Winnipeg concert marked the first time Peter Tork-sung Your Auntie Grizelda, was played publicly. 'He really dug it, and so did the audience,' wrote Price. [...] Back in Winnipeg, after final song I’m A Believer, the band rushed to limos to return to the hotel, before taking an evening flight to Toronto. A subsequent Canadian Press article noted that one policeman was taken to hospital after a wire retaining fence collapsed on him when 'thousands of fans surged towards the rear exits in an unsuccessful bid to catch a glimpse of their departing idols.' The officer was treated for cuts and abrasions and released. The official capacity of Winnipeg Arena was 11,800. But Price claimed that several hundred additional tickets were sold just before showtime, resulting in an attendance closer to 12,500. Later that Saturday night, The Monkees checked out of the hotel and headed to the airport in what Price described as near-blizzard conditions. For his part, CFUN deejay John Tanner got a kick out of the 'wild and crazy' show he had just witnessed. 'It was kind of a thrill being there.' The photo taken back in Vancouver earlier that day would be published in the April 8 copy of the C-FUNTASTIC FIFTY survey given away at Greater Vancouver record stores. Part of the photo ID read 'They said it couldn’t be done' — likely a veiled reference to doubts that The Monkees would trek north for concerts so soon into their existence.” - Richard Skelly, Facebook, April 1, 2022 [x]

Well, we’re off and away! ✈️ So far just to the International Departures Gate of Vancouver Airport but that’s not nothing! My next post will be from London England!

And, don’t worry. The flights will be safe. They confiscated at Victoria’s airport my small tube of toothpaste. Whew 😅 That was close! 🤨

Champagne Strawberry Rose!

For me and a beer for hubby in the Maple Leaf Lounge in the Vancouver International Airport on our way to NZ!

Just finishing up our welcome drink on board our flight to Auckland. Thirteen hours to go!...

[katblu42]

Day 1 of the adventure.

I have been (basically) awake for 24 hours and I still haven't finished travelling! Admitedly I am sitting at an airport gate lounge awaiting a connection. I have been here for about 3 hours, and my flight boards in just under 2 hours from now.

Sydney to Vancouver is a 14 and a half hour flight, and we were delayed by half an hour before boarding. Because you have to be at the airport 3 hours before boarding for an International flight I had to get up at 4:30am.

24hrs later and it is 11:30am (local time) on the same day. Time zones. Gotta love 'em.

I tried to snooze on the plane a few times, but it's next to impossible for me to sleep on planes. Also really hard to sleep in an airport when you also have to keep an eye on your valuables!

Anyway, free Wifi at the airport is a blessing . . . but my eyes are starting to go all sleepy blurry again.

Maybe I'll go see if food helps!

Next stop San Diego.

Bellingham, Wshington

July 25: So long Bellingham. We didn't see much, but we found a good BBQ restaurant and, most importantly, the peeps at the hotel and FBO were awesome. Gas is a little higher here at $7.20/gal but that'll look cheap compared to the prices farther north.

The first order of business after getting checked into the hotel last night was to find dinner. Shoutout to Big Stick BBQ; I'm a little too far west to find my favorite Eastern NC BBQ, but the brisket was pretty damn good. We spent a couple of hours catching up, comparing notes, and making plans, then went back to the hotel and promptly crashed.

The temperature this morning was a cool 54°. Goodbye sweating, hello down jackets. We had breakfast at the hotel (a big thank you to Danis for taking care of us early) before Jose hauled us to the Fred Meyer and to the airport. Even with shuffling 5 planes up to the pump to fuel up, we were wheels up by a few minutes after 8.

The plan was to go from Bellingham to Ketchikan to refuel before ending up in Juneau, or an alternate location if everything aligned. We skirted Vancouver and followed the Strait of Georgia north until we turned direct to Ketchikan. I've been on, and in, Puget Sound. As stunning as it is from the surface, it's insanely beautiful from the air. With the view of the vast Pacific off to port, especially breathtaking at the 140 mile-wide opening to Queen Charlotte Sound, it was easy to imagine the #NextChapter when we'll be sailing north instead of flying. (or motoring as the Inside Passage makes for terrible sailing)

Although we don't have any real use for them now, I've been teasing the Boy Scout about getting floats. All I could think about as we flew over the island-dotted waters was how sick it would be to look down, pick a spot, and land on the water. Maybe do a few dives off the floats before having lunch and flying off to find the next interesting spot. After today I don't think he needs more convincing.

The Ketchikan International Airport is located on an island across from the town of Ketchikan, which appears to exist solely to cater to the cruise industry. Like many other towns in Alaska, Ketchikan is not connected to the rest of the world by any kind of road; it's accessible only by water or air. We topped off the tanks (11.29/gal) and continued toward Juneau.

About halfway to Juneau we passed over the community of Wrangell which lies opposite the Stikine River Delta and several glaciers formed from the Stikine Icefield. There are several National Park and State Recreation cabins available but we couldn't see any way to access them short of a boat or a float plane (hey cowboy). Flying over them confirmed they were a no go. What we did find was a multitude of gravel bars which was the perfect excuse to put the new tundra tires to work. For the most part the ground was sandy/gravel and pretty smooth but the big tires made the landings like buttah. After finding a wide gravel bar where we could park and tie down all five planes well off the water, we set up camp in the tree line overlooking the river. A few tried their hand at fishing (no luck) while the rest of us gathered firewood, did a little exploring, and chilled. A little river-bar happy hour soon commenced around the fire while we thought about what freeze dried delicacy would be on the dinner menu.

I should add here that I'm not a boy scout. I grew up sailing, not camping. Tonight's events were the most boy scout shit ever, and it was awesome. More flight-seeing, including glacier flyovers, tomorrow before we head to Juneau for a couple of days. Assuming the local bear population doesn't get rowdy in the middle of the night.

Seattle->Vancouver

Oh boy has it been a LOOONG day(s). Gonna do updates in parts so this is the beginning of my travels. Woke up bright and early to head to the airport for a whole one (1) hour flight to Vancouver! Though it was short, it’s still out of the country—that’s a first for me! I like to look at the safety manual on airlines to see the different babies they draw, because sometimes they turn out really silly… Seattle’s was a bit disappointing to be frank. Once we got to the Vancouver airport we had five hours to kill before our next flight, so I walked around and enjoyed the beauty that is: Vancouver International Airport!! Hung around, took up only three seats trying to nap and had A&W! I thought that was just a root beer brand, not an actual restaurant?! You learn something new every day! Anywho, from then on we had our next flight which means, our next adventure B)

favourite thing to do at the airport? and how do u keep urself busy when flying?

(have a safe trip🫶🏼)

hi swaggy!

um, i'm not really sure! it depends on the airport and the terminal, like at the vancouver airport the international departures terminal has many plane watching windows and i could sit and watch the planes take off for hours. if there isn't a window to watch the planes (or it is the middle of the night), i usually just walk around and listen to podcasts or video essays! sometimes i get tea to drink while i walk

usually when i'm flying i either have one song on repeat while i read or i watch movies! for this flight i'm planning on rewatching the grand budapest hotel, its one of my favourite comfort movies. i also usually watch movies on my laptop, so i obsessively check the flight tracker because i love that thing

(thank you so much 🫂🫶)

[bogfern]

Great news everyone: i have been stuck in the Vancouver international airport for 15 hours. i have been through security three times. i have had my flights canceled and rebooked four times. i have about 12 more hours of travelling to go.

[autumnoakes]

yup! first image is from vancouver international airport which is about an hour drive from the canada-US border. most international flights out of YVR are bound for the US.

i don't really know how to describe what the greater vancouver region is to the US (as i live in canada lmao) but there's a lot of overlap and the highways are major shipping routes coming to and from the US.

Another week means another shift at Porter Airlines – yay!

It was such a busy shift, but we helped tons of passengers and learned a lot of things that you can only really get by working on the floor. From figuring out the fastest way to get through a long line to assisting people with special needs, I felt like I was picking up so many useful skills that just weren’t in the training. There’s something about being in the moment and having to think on your feet that’s really satisfying. Each new situation teaches you how to be more adaptable and empathetic.

The best part, hands down, was getting to talk with the passengers. A few were kind enough to stop and chat about their experiences. Hearing travelers’ stories about their time in Toronto made me so proud of the city. Some were raving about the CN Tower, while others had fallen in love with the food scene – I couldn’t help but smile as they shared their highlights. And then there were those flying domestically who were so pumped for their adventures across Canada. I had a passenger who was headed to Vancouver for the first time, and she was practically buzzing with excitement about seeing the mountains! The international travelers were in a whole different league of excitement; their trips sounded like huge life events, and I could feel the anticipation.

Beyond the passengers, I’ve been getting closer with some of the CSRs here, which has been awesome. Arvin, Teejae, and Mark have been super welcoming and are full of tips. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without them. Every time I have a question about something, they’ve got an answer ready. Whether it’s about moving a passenger to an earlier flight, finding available flights to places like Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, or other domestic spots, or just making sure I’m giving the right info, they’re there for me. It feels great to be part of such a supportive team. The shift was definitely tiring – night shifts always have that way of sneaking up on you – but I felt accomplished at the end. There’s something special about working through the night in a busy airport; it feels like a whole other world that most people don’t get to experience. Plus, the feeling of being able to actually help people, answer their questions, and maybe even make their travels a bit easier? Totally worth it.

Already looking forward to my next shift! The more I work here, the more I feel like I’m getting into the rhythm of things and becoming part of the Porter Airlines family. Can’t wait to see what new challenges and stories the next week brings!

Traveling from Vancouver? Find the Best Flights to Pune, Kochi, and Chennai

India, a land of vibrant cultures, historical wonders, and stunning landscapes, is a dream destination for many. If you’re planning a journey from Vancouver to cities like Chennai, Pune, or Kochi, finding the best flights with reasonable fares is essential. These cities each offer a unique experience: Chennai is known for its rich heritage and scenic beaches, Pune for its educational institutions and cultural hubs, and Kochi for its picturesque backwaters and colonial architecture. This blog will guide you through tips and options to secure cheap fare flights and make your travel from Vancouver to these incredible Indian destinations hassle-free.

Finding Affordable Flights from Vancouver to Chennai

For travelers heading to the bustling city of Chennai, the primary international gateway is the Chennai International Airport (MAA), one of the busiest airports in southern India. Since there are no direct flights from Vancouver to Chennai, you’ll typically need to book a one-stop or two-stop flight with layovers in cities like Toronto, Frankfurt, or New Delhi. Air India, British Airways, Qatar Airways, and Emirates are popular airlines serving this route.

To find affordable flights from Vancouver to Chennai, consider booking tickets well in advance, as last-minute fares can be high. Using flight comparison websites and tools  can help you identify the most economical options. Additionally, look out for off-peak travel times; flying in late summer or early winter often brings cheaper rates, as opposed to the peak seasons of spring and late winter.

Traveling from Vancouver to Pune: What You Need to Know

Pune, another popular destination, is known for its vibrant blend of history and modernity. While it doesn’t have as large an international airport as Chennai or Mumbai, Pune Airport (PNQ) does accommodate a few international flights. However, travelers from Vancouver to Pune usually fly into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) in Mumbai and then connect with a short domestic flight or a scenic road trip to Pune, which is around 150 km away.

To get the best deals, keep an eye on flights from Vancouver to Mumbai, as Mumbai offers more flight options and frequent deals. From there, flights from Vancouver to Pune can be booked at a much lower cost, with airlines like Air India, Vistara, and IndiGo serving this route. If you’re looking for cheaper fares, try booking flights with layovers in Toronto, Dubai, or Doha. Opting for evening or early-morning flights may further help reduce costs.

Securing the Best Deals on Vancouver to Kochi Flights

Kochi, with its serene backwaters, colonial history, and spice markets, is another top pick for travelers to India. Flights from Vancouver to Kochi arrive at Cochin International Airport (COK), a major hub for visitors to Kerala. Similar to the other destinations, direct flights aren’t available, so you’ll need to book a flight with one or more layovers. Airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates, and Air India offer flights with layovers in major cities like Toronto, Doha, and Abu Dhabi.

To save on Vancouver to Kochi flights, flexible travel dates can make a significant difference in price. Additionally, booking during airline sales or considering alternate airports for layovers, such as New Delhi or Bengaluru, can sometimes lower fares. If Kochi is part of a larger itinerary, consider booking a multi-city ticket that includes flights to and from different cities, which can sometimes be more economical than round-trip tickets.

General Tips for Finding Cheap Fare Flights to India

Book Early: If you know your travel dates, booking early is one of the best ways to secure affordable fares.

Compare Flight Prices: Use comparison websites  to identify the best prices for flights to Chennai, Pune, or Kochi.

Flexible Dates: Having flexibility with your travel dates can help you find significant discounts. Mid-week flights are often cheaper than weekend departures.

Sign Up for Fare Alerts: Most travel sites offer fare alerts, so you’ll be notified when prices drop for your selected routes.

Consider Alternative Layovers: Flights with multiple layovers, though longer, can sometimes result in lower fares. Layovers in cities like Toronto, London, or even Istanbul can bring down costs.

Traveling from Vancouver to India offers countless options, each city providing unique and enriching experiences. Whether you’re drawn to the historic streets of Pune, the cultural richness of Chennai, or the tranquil backwaters of Kochi, securing affordable flights is achievable with a bit of planning. By booking early, comparing prices, and staying flexible with your dates, you can find cheap fare flights and make your dream journey to India a reality.

So, start planning today and get ready for an unforgettable adventure from Vancouver to the heart of India’s most captivating cities!

Day one: Not the text message we wanted.

Still can’t quite believe that less 12hrs before we were due to leave, we got a text message staying flight to Vancouver was cancelled and that the airline was working hard to reallocate us to another flight. After about an hour on the phone with AirNZ (mostly on hold), we were sorted for flights, just not the way we hoped. We were going to have transit in LA, stuff of nightmares & newspaper articles.

But as I sit here typing this in LAX Airport, with caramel coffee in hand and a full belly after a lovely chicken burger for lunch (at least it was lunch somewhere in the world) it really wasn’t as awful as I thought it would be.

But day one of the holiday had a few things to be done prior to catching the first flight to Auckland. 10km trail run, coffee with Nick’s Mum & her friends (she had travelled to Welly with to see WOW), house to tidy, three loads of washing (bedding, towels and stinky run clothes) and a cat to reassure that she would like the house sitters & that we would be back. The cat ignored us and just enjoyed a spot in the sun.

Couldn’t check in on line, turns out AirNZ wanted us on an earlier flight to Auckland, which turned out to a) be a good option b) even with a 20minute delay it still gave us breathing room - just as well we did the traditional be at airport extra early move.

A lovely brisk walk over to international terminal in Auckland and pretty quick trip through security we were on our way. Flight from Auckland to LA is 12ish hours and because we were a late addition and we paid for a bit of extra leg space our names weren’t on our seats TV screens, which meant the young lady who assumed that meant no one was sitting there was very disappointed. A bit of turbulence during the flight but nothing exciting. Nick got a bit of sleep and I caught up on some reading & a movie I had been wanting watch.

So all in all not a bad day except that we are still in LA and not in Vancouver but we will still get there on 5 Oct, a day which has now been 36hrs long so far and has another 8 hours to run….
