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.

You should have seen me back in 2013. Flew 90K BIS on UA, 10K on AC (wonder why there's the AC minimum mile requirement?). 2010, 2011, 2012 was like 33K BIS UA 2K BIS AC (sfo-yvr-yyz-yvr-sfo = 4 segment minimum)

Come to think of it, I wonder how I haven't //wrist yet

If TPAC, then yes, between January 1 and Febuary 29, 2016 inclusive would be good.

How's your CTS doing?

Who told you what I was planning?

It's a targeted offer. If you don't receive the email, you don't get the points.

I mean invitation.

The answer to tolerate all this flying is to take drugs.

And not the cheap stuff, you have to go for the hard stuff. Bonus points for crack.

Now at the NH HND J lounge... it's a frickin' zoo here! But civilized zoo at that.
I have never seen this lounge this busy before... somehow the staff are keeping up and don't look flustered. Hopefully it the crowd wanes a bit in the next couple of hours.

Anyone drop a spoon and 6 of them rush to pick it up?

Chicken nuggets are nice and tasty Goes well with the black squid ink noodles.

No, it was 10 of them the rushed to pick the spoon up and then 5 of them to wipe the spot where it fell

So bloody hot and humid here in Tokyo (no surprise, but still, unbearable)... drank way too much last night at an izakaya and paying for it now
