So far this year:
4 Segments on AC
10 Segments on UA
6 Segments on Southwest
2 Segments on WestJet
My segments on Southwest could have been UAL / AC travel, but I decided to spend a couple of weeks in the US rather than return home.
I was extremely surprised by the level of service and smiles etc on both Southwest and WestJet. To think last year I would have never considered flying without getting Aeroplan points. Today my Aeroplan points are coming all from my Aerogold Visa. . . .
I have no idea when another AC trip is in the cards.
