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 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.

Not here, apparently.

But that's ok, because I have a better option that gives me the information that I need, before it even hits this place for fly-once-a-year-to-see-grandma people to gripe about (or post a 2,000 word soliloquy about the wonders of life).

Trying to find a gift for that hard-to-shop-for SEMM in your life?

Make every day a visit to the MLL with the perfect AC stocking stuffer.

+1. ^

Although I'm sure the effort would be futile, since I am sure some of those people are already stuffed with pickles - some in places where the sun doesn't shine.

Yep. When it gets like this it simply means things are becoming less and less relevant. Several here have their wake-up tune set to the Spice Girls' debut hit single, and sing to it in the shower and dance to it in front of the mirror.

My wake-up tune? The daily newsletter.

Wannabe - Youtube
One of the greatest songs of all time, IMHO.

The chord progressions are so complex that even Chopin and Rachmaninoff would be jealous.
