FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: tcook052
This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested the original 2004 - 2014 thread on the topic may be found here.

That original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about other airline/hotel loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT.

While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply her as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Well, either or, not many AC customers will fly 10 million miles. I'm sure they'll take whoever they can get, as long as they sit up front

My point is that someone who flies 3MM in J is likely a lot more profitable than 10MM in P.

And depending on routes, it could be an even larger spread.

Still, 10 million miles is worth celebrating! Even if they did fly tango

Tango would require 20 to 40 million for 10 million

Luckily I am only connecting there, so I guess idc.

On the way back, I am staying in Shinjuku, and I believe the NEx passes through there so E Z P Z.

Nevertheless, monorails OP.
When will you be here? I'm at Ebisu.

In a long time!

Going to JP in August, Fukuoka and Tokyo.

Hopefully it falls at the same time as one of your million trips there!

We should organize a HND or NRT DO

(or, something like a Robot Restaurant DO )

(or not)

I think the NH forum organizes a FUK DO every year? I'm sure the more the merrier?

I think we missed it by a couple of months!

But ROBO restaurant? I am down. Right after the cat cafe, and a stroll down Akihabara.

Obviously, the real meal would be at Ichiran Raumen though...

I am bound to NRT, but hey, I am all up for an in-land stroll!

I think 24L was trying to see if it was feasible. We'll see.

I have a US client's VPN that works rather well (as well as my dedicated SG VPN, though that doesn't help for Netflix...)

Transborder lounges worth it? I've got flights out of YUL and YVR to the us coming up - I'm on united ticketed tickets so I don't know how easy access will be, but none of my other lounge choices are available inside the transborder area.

Do you have status? Are you flying up front? Are you planning on eating? (bleh) or drinking (bleh, until you have a lot in you, then YAH BABY!)
