Air Canada passengers will now be boarding according to zones clearly indicated on the Air Canada issued boarding pass. Your priority boarding benefit makes you eligible for Zone 2 priority boarding.
I assume the equivalent CIBC card will get the same...
Re "I assume the equivalent CIBC card will get the same......"

Priority services are unavailble to CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders at LHR T2 when not flying on an Aeroplan redemption ticket. It is available to TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders only according to information posted at www.aircanada.ca as of today:

"Premium desks and dedicated full-service check-in are available in ZONE A for:

Super Elite 100K, Elite 75K, Elite 50K, Elite 35K and Prestige 25K customers
Star Alliance Gold members,
Customers travelling in International Business Class, Premium Economy Class or on a Latitude fare
Air Canada/American Express Maple Leaf Club card holders
American Express Aeroplan Platinum, AeroplanPlus Platinum and Corporate AeroplanPlus Platinum cardholders
TD/ CIBC Visa Infinite® and small business cardholders travelling on an Aeroplan Flight Reward
TD Visa Infinite® Privilege cardholders"

I dunno about this design. I would have way more gold and red...drop the blue....maybe some white.

Also would have written "Get the f*ck out of my way!" at the bottom instead.

We need a cafe press store (or something similar) with all these designs for sale.
Proceeds could go to funding the bar bill at Do's

This is Sooper (Elite) Genius (as in the 'Wile-E-Coyote, Genius', business card from the Bugs Bunny episode, the only one where Wile-E ever spoke btw).

It would have been very helpful on AC848 the other night where boarding was a complete zoo.

Nah the bottom should say "Do you [freaking] know who I am?""
Line below should say: "stop staring kettle. back of the line"

I might not give AC as much money as you do, but if AC goes revenue FFP and uses similar $ targets as DL/UA, I still spend enough to maintain SE

I'm not sure why you advocate it so highly when, despite spending 3x I do, you still don't fly enough miles to make SE

It probably uses less ink too!

I just dropped your cost of production lol

Call it "rouging the tags".

I don't pull cows out of my 6. (yes, mr. cow, I realize it was once, it was a JOKE). I fly direct. As they say, time is money And I have a very generous vacation policy And new to 2015. I buy H fares
