the most powerful family in the world.

The legendary M5 is back. Its 560hp M TwinPower Turbo engine is the most powerful in its class, yet also the most efficient. And with its unrivalled list of standard

equipment, the worlds fastest production sedan to lap the Nrburgring is also the most luxurious on the road.

Introducing the all-new BMW M6*, the embodiment of athletic design and stunning performance. This M icon returns with a 560hp M TwinPower Turbo engine that can propel you from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, while its 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission delivers seamless power.

The BMW X5 M delivers the Motorsport driving

experience in an SAV, setting the benchmark for

performance and versatility. Experience 0100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and racecar agility without sacrificing all the

luxury and utility that the X5 M with xDrive has to offer.

The BMW X6 M is the worlds first and only high-performance

Sport Activity Coup. The distinct and aggressive exterior

styling is a prelude to its 555hp M TwinPower Turbo engine that delivers 500 lb-ft of torque and an astounding 4.7 second

0100 km/h time.

Bmw x6 mBmw x5 mBmw m6Bmw m5

Born on the racetrack, at home on the road. Each M vehicle pushes the limits of thrilling power and sophisticated design. The heart of an M, its engine, is not a tuned version of a standard production engine, but a completely new, specifically engineered Motorsport masterpiece. From suspension to aerodynamics to cockpit orientation, every detail is crafted to serve performance. M: no other letter has so much power.

Make the Most Out of Business TravelFor many frequent business travelers, routine and efficiency tend to take priority over comfort and perks. But with very little extra planning, business travel can be as comfortable and relaxed as any vacation. Here are a few quick, easy tips to help make your next business trip as smooth as possible.

Pack Effectively

Whether youre staying at your destination for several days or making a return trip in one day, ensure youre packing your bags effectively. Make sure youve got your laptop cord stored in your carry-on so you can take advantage of in-seat power outlets, and not run out of juice mid-flight. And if you can, try to pack light enough to keep your baggage to a carry-on. That way, you wont need to spend time waiting for your luggage when you arrive at your destination.

Use Your Airport Time Efficiently

Start your business trip stress-free, by taking advantage of the Priority Check-In lane at Air Canada check-in, and the Priority Security Lane. Simply show your American Express AeroplanPlus* Platinum Card, and use your line-standing time for something more productive.

Wait in Comfort

Once youre checked in, take time for yourself in the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge to catch up on email, read the newspaper or just relax a bit before the trip ahead. Many lounges have business centres and private conference rooms in case you need to print a few documents or have a last minute conference call before you board your flight. To access these lounges, present your American Express AeroplanPlus Platinum Card and a confirmed ticket for a same-day departing flight on Air Canada, Air Canada Express or any other Star Alliance member airline.

Schedule Strategically

When youre planning your meetings, make sure to keep your schedule both strategic and realistic. Account for your entire travel time, including flight time, as well as time youll spend in customs, ground transportation line ups and taxi rides to your destination, so youre not overly rushed or panicked to make meetings as soon as you land.

Reward Yourself with Travel Perks

If your business trip is going to keep you away for a night or more, make sure that youre making the most of your hotel stays by enrolling in hotel loyalty programs. For example, if you stay at Fairmont properties for five nights in the same calendar year, you become eligible for the Fairmont Presidents Club. You can receive one complimentary night, room upgrades and dining gift certificates by registering for the Fairmont Presidents Club membership and paying with your American Express AeroplanPlus Platinum Card.

If you dont already have an American Express AeroplanPlus Platinum Card, visit americanexpress.ca/aeroplan to learn more about the Cards benefits and services.

In a digital world, pure emotion is still analog. The new 2013 Boxster re-engineers the human experience of the open-top roadster. Considerably lower weight, a longer wheelbase, wider track and larger wheels significantly enhance the Boxsters sports car driving dynamics. A lower profile, larger air intakes and a dramatically raked windshield improve aerodynamics and reduce front and rear lift. And additional horsepower wrung from a more fuel-efficient engine simply delivers more from less. Porsche. There is no substitute.

The new Boxster.

On my iPod when I travel Mumford & Sons. The best drink in the best bar The whisky sour at Dean Street Townhouse in Soho. If I had a year off, Id go see more of the U.K, specifically Devon and Cornwall. I grew up there, but there is still so much left to explore. When not shooting for enRoute, I shoot for Monocole and Hardy Amies. Je vis Londres. Meilleur moment pendant la prise de cette photo Quand des coliers mimaient les poses du manne-quin dans mon dos.

Le monde entier dbarque Londres pour le plus grand vnement spor-tif de la plante : les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques. enRoute en pro-fite pour oser lindit : consacrer un numro complet une seule ville. Deux de nos rdactrices, Laura Osborne et Alexandra Redgrave, ont hrit de la tche. Quant leurs propres souvenirs de la ville-hte, les voici.

Laura : Lanne que jai passe squatter dans ma famille britannique (trs tendue, vous voyez) a t syno-nyme de karaok dbrid, de qute du meilleur cari de Brick Lane et de soires-questionnaires au pub (p.67 80). chaque visite je dcouvre du neuf : quau bar du septime tage de la Tate Modern, la carte des vins vaut la vue sur la cathdrale Saint-Paul ; quavec 75 on sachte une garde-robe printanire Primark, sur Oxford Street ; quil est plus civilis de se bai-gner dans la piscine chauffe sur le toit du Shoreditch House que dans un bas-sin de Hampstead Heath.

Alex : Lorsque jallais Londres (avec un nom comme Redgrave, est-ce que je pourrais venir dailleurs ?), ma mre se ravitaillait en classiques : des bottes de pluie comme celles de lours Paddington (pour moi) et du th PG tips (pour elle). Cette soif de musts a inspir nos articles sur les canaux de la ville (p.48) et les recommandations de la reine (p.58). Ceux-ci montrent que lauguste Londres peut tre source de nouveaut ; assurez-vous quand mme de rapporter de la crme de citron et des mouchoirs motif Liberty.

Bien dit, nest-il pas ?

R e s t e z b R a n c h s T w i T T e r @ e n r o u T e _ i l a n a fa c e b o o k e n r o u T e m a g a z i n e T u m b l r e n r o u T e m a g a z i n e .T u m b l r . c o m

The world is arriving in London this month to witness the planets greatest sporting events, the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was the perfect excuse for enRoute to do something weve never done before: devote an entire issue to a single city. Two of our editors, Laura Osborne and Alexandra Redgrave, were charged with the task. Here are their own memories of the host city.

Laura: The year that I spent flat-surfing in the U.K. (yes, my British family is that big) meant unbridled karaoke, hunting down the best Brick Lane curry, and pub quiz night (see pages 6780). Every time I go back, I discover something new: that the bar on level seven of the Tate Modern has a wine list as legendary as its view of St. Pauls; that 75 at Primark on Oxford Street buys you a whole new spring wardrobe; that swimming in the heated rooftop pool at Shoreditch House is more civilized than a dip in a Hampstead Heath pond.

Alex: Visiting London as a kid with a last name like Redgrave, where else could I be from? my mum stocked up on the classics: Paddington Bear galoshes (for me) and PG Tips (for her). Seeking out the tried and true served as inspiration for diving into life on the citys canals (page 48) and recommendations from the Queen (page 58). Both show how old London can be a source for the new just make sure to bring back some lemon curd and Liberty print handkerchiefs.

Cheers!

It wasnt the first time I took your magazine home so that I could encourage my husband to plan our next adventure, but I was particularly captivated by the

wonderful description and photographs of the Swiss hut-to-hut experience. While weve conquered a number of hiking trails in Western Canada and the U.S., were now looking to expand our horizons. Thanks enRoute for not only keeping us motivated to travel but also for helping us to stay active and enjoy the great outdoors all over the world.

each day, aiR canada connects people fRom all over the globe. But as successful as airlines are in doing this, nothing can quite surpass the Olympic and Paralympic Games in bringing the world together.

Every few years we all pause to enjoy sport at its highest level and celebrate the best in human achievement. As Canadas flag carrier and the Official Airline of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Teams, we are proud of our role in the Games, which start in London this month. It is a pride that dates back to our involvement in previous Olympic and Paralympic Games and extends into the future, as Air Canada will be the Official Airline of Canadas Olympic and Paralympic teams for the Sochi 2014 Winter Games and the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Games.

Being Canadas f lag carrier, we bear a special responsibility to ensure that everyone travelling to the Games enjoys a smooth journey. Since May, designated teams within the company have been preparing to carry the athletes and their equipment, team officials, a large media contingent and, of course, throngs of Olympic fans and supporters all requiring special care.

Our preparations are based on what we learned during the Air Canada teams outstanding performance at the Vancouver 2010 Games, when on the busiest days the number of travellers surged thousands above our normal levels, yet everyone was accommodated seamlessly. Although this time we are not the home team, we do know London well: It is our largest international station, and we already fly up to 84 times a week between Canada and London. This should give us an advantage, particularly during the peak, when Heathrow airport expects up to 138,000 travellers and 203,000 bags to pass through its doors in a single day.

Beyond being a sponsor, we at Air Canada feel an affinity with the Canadian teams. Very much like our athletes, we approach our chosen task with careful preparation, a determination to perform at our best and an allconsuming passion for what we do. As well, we share the international ideals of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which through the excitement of sport and friendly competition connect not only all Canadians but indeed the whole world.

The women and men of Air Canada heartily wish our athletes the very best for success. Now let the Games begin! W r ite to m e: p r e s i d e nt@ a i r c a n a d a . c a

Tous les deux ans, chacun de nous sarrte pour apprcier le sport son plus haut niveau et clbrer les meilleures performances humaines. En tant que trans-porteur national du Canada et transporteur officiel des quipes olympiques et paralympiques canadiennes, nous sommes fiers de notre rle dans les Jeux, qui commen-cent ce mois-ci Londres.

Notre titre de transporteur national saccompagne dune responsabilit spciale : celle de faciliter le voyage de tous ceux qui se rendent aux Jeux. Depuis le mois de mai, des quipes ddies demploys se prparent transporter les athltes et leur quipement, les accom-pagnateurs officiels, les nombreux reprsentants des mdias et, bien sr, une foule de partisans, autant de voyageurs qui exigent une attention particulire.

Notre prparation se fonde sur les leons tires des Jeux olympiques de 2010 Vancouver, o nous avons offert une performance remarquable en assu-rant sans heurts le transport, au cours des journes les plus achalandes, de milliers de voyageurs de plus qu lhabitude. Mme si nous ne jouons pas chez nous cette anne, nous connaissons bien Londres, notre plus importante escale internationale : nous assurons jusqu 84 vols par semaine entre le Canada et Londres. Voil qui nous procurera un avantage, surtout au plus fort de la demande laroport LondresHeathrow, o transi-teront jusqu 138000 voyageurs et 203000 bagages en une seule journe.

En plus de commanditer les quipes canadiennes, nous nous sentons des affinits avec elles. Tout comme les athltes, nous nous prparons soigneusement notre tche, sommes dtermins exceller et faisons notre travail avec une passion dvorante. Nous partageons galement les idaux internationaux qui sous-tendent les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques, qui, grce lexci-tation suscite par le sport et la comptition amicale, runissent les Canadiens et le monde entier.

No need to stop the game: Grab housemade canaps on the fly, like sausage rolls with Bloody Mary ketchup or mackerel toasts spiced with horseradish. Your biggest challenge?

Ce resto asiatique lclairage tamis se trouve au fond dune ruelle qui donne sur Oxford Street.

You train in Barcelona. How do You like tHe citY?I try to attend as many FC Barcelona games as I can. The sport and team have really grown on me since I moved there. The nightlife also stands out in Barcelona, although I havent been able to enjoy it because its too intense for me people go to dinner at midnight, head to the nightclubs at 3 a.m. and finish around 7 a.m.

How d o You e xperience a cit Y Be Yond jus t pl aY ing tHere?When I travelled to Johannesburg, one of the player events was a safari holding a baby tiger was completely new for me! In Paris, thanks to my sponsor Lacoste, I got to play right in front of the Eiffel Tower. So not only do athletes see the cities, we get to do stuff that many people cant say theyve experienced before.

d o You Have a favourite Hotel gY m?All the players like the InterContinental Montreal. The Hilton in Shanghai has an unbelievable gym too, because its fully equipped. I like cities that have big parks somewhere you can run in peace and quiet and not have to worry about cars. But Im not a big fan of running; I do it because I need to. When I get my time off, I want my time off!

I feel like I can adapt more quickly to new places when Im on tour. its a tr adition of Yours to e at a s te ak Before e verY matcH. wHere d o You go ?In Toronto, Ive always had my steaks at Ruths Chris Steak House or the Keg. In San Jose and Miami, I eat every night at Mortons. In Paris, its Le Relais de lEntrecte. In Australia, its Rockpool. I know steak is not the best thing for me, but its become a supersti-tion. And its nice to have a ritual.

Pub-lic OPeraO p r a l a p r O

Pints and Puccini are a pitch-perfect mix in London. Londres, ales et arias sallient sans bmol.

B y / p a r C r a i l l e M a g u i r e g i l l i e s i l l u s t r a t i o n B y / d e n a t e l u e t k e h a n s

t he lights dim as two pianists play the open i ng notes f rom Gi lber t a nd Sullivans comic operetta The Mikado on a shiny black baby grand positioned stage right. A man in the front row uses his pint glass as an armrest while the woman next to him sips a berry-coloured cocktail. We are so close we can see our reflections in the actors patent leather shoes.

West End shows are an institution in London, but tonight Im nowhere near the Strand. Im front and centre at the Kings Head Theatre & Pub in Islington, experienc-ing two quintessentially British pastimes: a night at the pub and a night at the the-atre. The Kings Head became the first new opera house in London in almost a half-century when it started staging classics such as Puccinis La Bohme with admission run-ning as little as 5 this in a city where an evening at the Royal Opera House can cost up to 200. And judging by the audiences laughter, its a hit.

Were doing something no one else is doing. Were experimenting on a small stage, Adam Spreadbury-Maher, the Australian-born artistic director at the Kings Head and a former opera singer, tells me a few days later as we sit by one of the pubs fireplaces. Antique red velvet theatre seats are propped against a pressed-tin wall, and photos of actors like Rupert Graves line the room. The lilt of a soprano rises from the back theatre (once a boxing ring and pool hall) during an afternoon rehearsal. Its pub-lic opera, Spreadbury-Maher says, sipping a tar-black cup of coffee. (It is, after all, only 2 p.m.) Were democratizing it.

While Kings Head was the first (since the days of Shakespeare), it isnt the only show in town; other fine drinking establishments-cum-theatres include the Old Red Lion Theatre and the Hen & Chickens Theatre Bar, attracting stars like Joseph Fiennes (who appeared at The Bush Theatre) and Rachel Weisz (who performed at the Finborough Theatre). The night I see The Mikado, the lead playing Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner, shimmies, flexes his muscleman biceps and does a few dance moves borrowed from an old hip hop video when he wins the shrew Katisha. To seal the deal, Nanki-Poo and Ko-Ko fist-bump. The performance is appropriately for a Gilbert and Sullivan musical over the top. The audience howls and raises a glass.

la lumiRe baisse dans la salle aloRs que deux pianistes, assis ct jardin un quart de queue noir laqu, jouent les premi-res notes de loprette Le mikado, de Gilbert et Sullivan. Au premier rang, un homme sap-puie lavant-bras sur son verre de bire tandis que sa voisine sirote un cocktail rougetre. Nous sommes si prs de la scne que nous pouvons nous voir dans les chaussures de cuir verni des acteurs.

Les spectacles du West End sont une insti-tution londonienne, mais ce soir je suis cent lieues du Strand. Je suis aux premires loges du Kings Head Theatre & Pub dans Islington, o je me livre deux passe-temps purement british : une soire au pub et une soire au thtre. Le King's Head est devenu le premier opra voir le jour ici en prs dun demi-sicle quand il sest mis proposer des classi-ques comme La bohme de Puccini pour aussi peu que 5, et ce, dans une ville o l'entre au Royal Opera House peut coter 200 . Daprs les rires du public, cest un succs.

Ce quon fait na pas dquivalent ailleurs. Cest de lexprimental sur petite scne , mexplique quelques jours plus tard le directeur artistique du Kings Head, Adam Spreadbury-Maher, Australien de naissance et ex-chanteur dopra, prs dune des chemines du pub. De vieux fauteuils de thtre en velours rouge sont adosss contre un mur tam ; des photos dacteurs, dont Rupert Graves, tapissent la pice. La voix dune soprano en train de rpter slve du thtre, larrire, qui a dj t un ring de boxe et une salle de billard. Cest de lopra populaire , insiste Spreadbury-Maher en sirotant un caf noir. (Il nest que 14h, aprs tout.) Nous le dmocratisons.

Si le Kings Head a t le premier (depuis lpoque de Shakespeare), ce nest pas le seul pub-thtre en ville : citons galement lOld Red Lion Theatre et le Hen & Chickens Theatre Bar, qui attirent des vedettes comme Joseph Fiennes (quon a pu voir au Bush Theatre) et Rachel Weisz (qui a jou au Finborough Theatre). Le soir de ma prsence dans le public du Mikado, linterprte de Ko-Ko le Haut-Bourreau se dhanche, joue des biceps et y va dune petite danse tire dun vieux vido de hip-hop quand il obtient la main de la mgre Katisha. Pour fter cette union, Nanki-Poo et Ko-Ko se cognent les poings. La performance est excessive, et donc parfaite pour une comdie musicale de Gilbert et Sullivan. Le public sesclaffe et trinque en chur.
