The flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines.[1] On 2 September 1998, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 performing this flight, registration HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax Stanfield International Airport at the entrance to St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The crash site was 8 kilometers (5 mi; 4 nmi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the small fishing and tourist communities of Peggy's Cove and Bayswater, killing all 229 passengers and crew on board the MD-11, making the crash the deadliest accident in the history of Swissair and the deadliest accident involving the McDonnell Douglas MD-11. It is also the second-deadliest aviation accident to occur in Canada, behind Arrow Air Flight 1285R.

Ali was a wonderful tour guide. He was on time, very professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He gave us time for lunch and touring on our own at Peggy’s Cove but would have accompanied us if we had requested. He also pointed out many sights and facts about Halifax as we drove in and out of the city.

It was a nice drive, clean comfortable car. It was fine, it was very much a car ride from the port to Peggy’s cove and back. Peggy’s Cove is absolutely stunning!! Would absolutely recommend a visit but there’s still room for improvement, instead of being dropped off where we got picked up we could’ve been at least offered to closer to the door as it was raining. Would’ve appreciated some background noise in the car too but it was a good trip.

It is a step up from renting a car. Best to know where you want to go. You can walk as little or as much as you want to walk. Convenient cruise pickup. Most of the journey is riding through the forest.
