Voice of Travelers to Sydney
A layover in Sydney with ticket purchased by Air Canada
I traveled on an onward ticket from Toronto through Sydney to Halifax. I purchased the ticket with Air Canada. While the ticket was quite expensive, I preferred this option instead of a return direct ticket from Toronto directly to Halifax so that I can see a bit of Cape Breton area which I had heard of before. I bought the ticket in a ticket agency. Once aboard Air Canada, I was surprised by great onboard service and the possibility to buy a bus ticket to Sydney. When I landed at Sydney, I took a bus to downtown Sydney and I spent two days exploring Cape Breton With a ticket to Halifax, I would not have discovered Sydney. I am more than happy that I wasn't counting money when I decided for this airfare ticket with a short stop in Sydney.
Visiting Sydney and its steel mills.
I visited Sydney two years ago. My visit to Sydney was primarityl in order to see the Sydney Steel Corporation as I work in the same field. I was actually invited to Sydney by the management of the Sydney Steel Corporation, so all my travel costs, including an airfare ticket from Toronto to Sydney, were covered by them. Thanks to this invitation, I was able to discover first class service aboard the Air Canada flight from Toronto to Sydney. This return ticket to Sydney was probably quite pricey, but I just enjoyed the services. My return ticket from Sydney was three days afterwards as this was only a short business trip. I will probably fly to Sydney again soon, this time paying for my own ticket. I would like to use the services of Air Canada to Sydney again, even if the ticket is pricey.
