On Wednesday May 15, 2019, I spent $34,171.20 to buy a Latitude North American flight pass for myself and MrsITAG - 30 credits, or 15 round trip tickets.

My business would have had us easily using this up by the expiry.

But when Covid hit in March 2020, I quickly came to realize that I'd end up writing the pass off. I had 16 credits left in the pass, almost half the value. I wrote off more than $17k in my mind.

Then, AC kept extending them ... business slowly came back ... and I started using them.

Tomorrow, MrsITAG and I will use the last two credits on a flight to Florida. The other 4 are committed to a YYZ-LAX return just at the end of the March 31 cutoff - I did a 3 month extension.

I don't often say thank you to Air Canada, but I'm certainly thankful in this case - and actually sort of shocked that I managed to use them all.
