Walked into YYZ concierge office today at zero dark thirty to print our connecting boarding passes.

We were greeted first not by the concierge but by 24left!

Naturally, we did the most reasonable thing and changed flights.

Four of us are now having an impromptu mini-do on AC101. 24left confirmed they loaded on enough kitkats.

Many years lurker here, I finally ordered some bright yellow Flyertalk luggage tags and first flight I had a great hit.

Standing in line waiting for upgrade in YYC I spotted another yellow tag to belonging to Traacs and ruthless, we went for a drink in YVR what a nice couple, really great conversation and finally I feel like belong

Looking forward meeting more of you legends out there......cheers

A day early, but I received a text from @expert7700 today mentioning his plans to connect through SFO tomorrow night, and asked if I was traveling.

Turns out five of us are booked on AC 754.

I guess I won't be SDCing...

Unsure if I met someone.

Driving in midtown Toronto yesterday (early afternoon). Car ahead of me had a liscence plate YYZTANGO (ON plate). On the other hand perhaps not a FTer. Maybe an employee?

Any chance the individual on SQ860/AC16 is a FTer?

Met @24left and @SteadyAT on AC 17.

We're all sitting together. Hijinks may ensue.

I've always wanted to be High Profile?

A stressful Fathers day of travel had a great ending.

Just before midnight, @expert7700, @zone1boarding, @10yroldsuperelite, @24left, and @yyznomad happened to meet at the YYZ concierge office.
​​​​
AC service failures led to this $96 FREE midnight feast and great conversation at YYZ Sheraton.




​​​​​​/apologies for the lack of kit-kats in the above photos.

You should be apologizing for the over-abundance of water.

5 FTers and not a drop of alcohol to be seen. Has that ever happened before?!
