Ooooh, I was too buzzed to notice that. Had to put the Gran Marnier down the hatch when I realised it was 13:08.

And what do they do to you if you go back in time? NZ flight 46, AKL-RAR, arrives 18 hours before it leaves.

Exactly 58695.54 miles per year traveled, but none of it status miles unfortunately :(

...unless you opted to save $3 and get no miles! Quite the savings for AC there..

Ancien Maestro Jul 19, 2011 9:26 pm
LOL!

I agree.. AC IT does it again..^

That warp drive would have helped a couple of years ago when my Aeroplan award flight YVR-YYZ-FLL had a change on the YVR-YYZ segment that wasn't reflected in a necessary change in the now leaving-before-arriving connection at YYZ. I did catch it and get it corrected and perhaps Aeroplan/AC would have eventually caught it as well - but I never like to wait with messed up flight schedule/cancellation changes that aren't auto-fixed immediately.

BTW, that YVR-YYZ segment had to be changed to the red-eye to make onward plans work. Yuk, but better than a 40-year layover.

Jet fuel was about 20c/gallon in 1970. You should get a credit for the fuel surcharge that you paid.

AFAICT.. so far in this thread..

The only thing warp with AC IT, is that its still warped.:)
