This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested the original 2004 - 2014 thread on the topic may be found here.
That original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about other airline/hotel loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply her as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

I'm going to hopefully uhhhh "research" first-hand how good ASU is this weekend. Hope it doesn't disappoint 
I love McDonalds back in Taiwan. If you pay for RTW ticket, I'll gladly help you "research" non-CAN/USA McDonalds first hand
Ha, if I had the money to pay for that, I'd be going myself
But actually, I would appreciate help. All I really need is for people to buy something (either a big Mac / their preferred sandwich or something more unique to the area, like the McAloo Tikki in India) and take a photo. You get to eat McDonald's guilt-free. And put me through school

Whatever, you live once, and for me, eh i'll die when i'm 40
but i'll go out with a bang On another note, SFO has been a great trip. The Dos and other events were great, now off to SAN to visit/pet a few penguins, should be fun.
United F though. [insert expletive here] me. GA/FAs can [insert expletive here] off ahead of time. Surely agents ahead....time for a prescriptive sedative or two to dull the pain. Ugh.
How UA didn't win the award for the crappiest flight attendants is beyond me. Perhaps they at least fit this time @:-) Or maybe there'll be a weight and balance issue McDonalds from SAN trip report?
You know, what is weird though is the Wendys Chicken Burger (combo 7). Really weird stuff, so in Canada they toast the buns which means i can't eat them (lactose intolerance), but in the US they don't, so I can. AND the chicken strips in Canada (combo 6?) doesn't exist in the US. Wendys carries chicken mcnuggets.....WTH?

Don't forget, booger king's nuggets are $1.49 for 10 -- but even so, I rather prefer paying slightly more for McDonalds' 20 for $5
....
In something just as totally TMI as the penguin's inability to digest certain foods, I'm so #%@ pissed I can't find any good hookups in %#@% scottsdale. Hopefully this week can end soon so I can pretend to be like pewpew and do some "research" first-hand at ASU

I'm trying to find the "approved carry-on baggage" thread where flyers posted the model #'s and/or pictures of their carry-on that fit the AC sizers.
For the life of me, I can't find that thread. Can anyone help me here?
I was a bit trigger happy yesterday and bought several Tumi pieces....
SAP, we need to touch base...LOL

B&R bags have a lifetime warranty. Tumi, last I checked have a 5 year warranty. So why would one pay more money to have a worse warranty, IMHO, both bags are equally well built...

Well Tumi's command a higher price point, which, ok fine if one can afford them, all the power to people who can buy them, but the difference lies in the detail.

I guess it's more like saying.....well, if a BMW has a warranty for 3 years and a Merc for 8, then my gut would be to suggest people to buy the Merc
