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 previous versions are the
original 2004 - 2014 thread and the 2015 edition
The 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 hotels or airlines and/or their 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.

from the general gist of the flight reviews of NH F, I'm almost expecting their FAs (actually "CA" in NH parlance) to half be able to read minds and proactively offer what you want

I pushed my very first call button yesterday, after the SD took my drink order, walked up front to get it and then... disappeared, for half an hour.
When she came back after I hit the call button, she said she'd just forgotten - do I need to switch to a more memorable drink order? Diet Coke, with a glass of ice and a side of Tabasco sauce?

Speaking of which it's about that time of flight.
I don't even think it's an Asian thing. I think it's an F thing.
I don't care if they're proactive if when I push the button, five seconds later there's an FA with my Krug.

...and I'm sure the weather is much nicer in California, which is where I assume you're studying.

Just don't leave California when you're done. I love getting paid in USD.

YYZ trans border T1
what a mess at YYZ transborder T1. With the construction going on the regular line was in the terminal as the room was too small. Half the Nexus machines were not working so another line. And the lines intersected like a crosswalk. Made it to the PP lounge as the AC lounge will be busy today with everyone heading to Vegas for CES on top of the regular rush hour crowd
