LOL -- not laughing at your misfortune but it's good to know that I am not the only person who has done this! Fortunately, I was an SE at the time, so they were pretty good at fixing it for me without a penalty! -- catgirl
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that was a joke

Damn! And I thought I had someone to commiserate with. I typed in YYZ instead of YYC and didn't notice till a couple of days before the flight ... it ended well -- catgirl

Saturday morning hiking
I am planning to lead a hike before the 'official' 'do'. So far 3 of us are going, but I'm happy to show off our beautiful trails to as many as possible! We will go at the pace of the slowest person (possibly me!).
We will be hiking from Alyard farm, meeting there at 11am. If you need a ride, PM painintheuk. It will be a slow, relaxed pace, with snacks along the way!
We'll be done and back in plenty of time to check in and relax before the Do.

This will be my second, after the St. John's do a couple of summers back, looking forward to it.
Just booked my flights - on the Friday morning from YYT had a choice of connection in YYZ to AC183 to Vancouver or AC1681 direct to Victoria. Whilst others are on 183, I'm going to save the dollars in getting to YYJ direct and take the Rouge flight and sample the delights of Vancouver island for a couple of days!

Fantastic!
(for a second there, I thought I read that you were going to sample the delights of Rouge.

Haha, if aeroplan had availability on 183 IN addition to a connection then no question I'd take it. But alas redemption then revenue to YYJ to avoid Rouge doesn't make much sense.
Never actually been on a Rouge 319, you've got to try these things once right

We've never been to YYJ for more than 30 minutes at a time before. Guess this will change that. Added to the wiki.
Aeroplan is offering us a 3-stops option (eyw/milk run) Sunday. Only as a priority reward of course. yyj-yvr-ylw-yyc-las. bookable at the economy OR business rate!
Will add actual routings to wiki once finalized A seaplane Sat and a YVR TB mini-DO Sunday sound tempting..
