I'm potentially interested if the location is east of the 401.

Umm, FYI, the 401 runs East-West. So a location can be north or south
it.

I'd prefer north.

I've used the 401 in a clumsy/unusual way. But it can be East, if you say east of the Ontario/Quebec border

How about IPC?

It's all about the journey, right? Would undoubtedly go down as the most remote FT DO. There was a VIP airport lounge building when we were there...

While IPC is on my list for a near future visit it's a bit of a expensive and long trek for a do!

If it's ever in LAS, we can help out a bit with planning.

Though to keep it fun we would need to position ourselves somewhere..anywhere 2-3 stops away so that we can travel "to" the DO.

If the timing works, this may be a good opportunity for my first Do!

Yeah, I feel kind cheated that I didn't make the YYJ Do (which have been my first) because of tour guide obligations. On the plus side, it was probably the shortest flight I could actually take out of YVR, so anything epic would be more in keeping with FT travel fun and games.

Venue - I vote for YYC and we turn this into the WS Do. Or we could try YUL and turn this into the AC Do.

I suspect WS might be more interested in hosting us, especially if we offer them the opportunity to get live feedback from a group of die-hard FFs.

If we're trying for an international Do, then we can go anywhere that doesn't require a visa since visas are a pain. A mistake fare to get there would be very useful too of course.

Yeah, I'm harshed I couldn't make the YYJ Do, it sounded awesome and would have been super convenient location-wise. Willing to burn some soon to be useless AE miles for this EPIC Do though!

I think AC should host us for this in YUL. Who has the best relationship with HQ and can propose this?
