Touche. I wonder if he was asked if he was using his parents AP account.
I can just see it causing issues in other circumstances.

Still, even with different names it appears that in some cases the actual traveller may be allocated the account holder's status. Has happened to my wife and she does not use my surname.

Zone 6?

In YYC TB area today and the Air Canada signs have us lining up as zones 1-2 and zones 3-6. This is the way the signage reads at multiple gates.

FYI - covered recently upthread and sporadically prior to that in the last couple of years.

The FT search function sucks, so hence my gentle fyi.
You would only know if you spent some time scanning through the last year of posts, or be up to date with the thread in general.
Plus, nobody even updated the wiki with this info ever since it was brought to light roughly 2 years ago, IIRC.

(and you're certainly not the first, or will be the last, to point out Zone 6)

Some people will get Zone 6 because their company travel policy sucks

You know the wiki has a history feature right?

​​​​​​I would never put such a snarky sentence in what is supposed to be a factual wiki.

Can you access it from your phone? I didn't really think it was you.

I saw he was the last editor but didn’t check the editor at the time that cow claimed to have done it. So we’re sayinf @veronc made the error than cow claimed credit, so it’s also his error
