I saw a bit of that. Is she immune to the cold or can we expect a news article about her being admitted for hypothermia from the CBC? Seriously it’s -20c here before the wind kicks in and can’t be much better in NYC.

It's now 2018 here so I can properly wish a Happy New Year to all.

Happy New Year to the AC FT family!!!

Hope everyone finds some killer YQ free mini-RTW routings and can burn through most your E-Ups this year!!!

It's good to be back to the dark side... ;)

I had gone back to school after a few years of "work". I have to admit I really enjoyed going back to school. I got all my assignments done early and stayed on top of my studies. It was like righting the wrongs of all the procrastination of my first go around through school.


I was also studying abroad and learned about FT during that time. :D

It's a waste if you're in business (exception: HYPS MBA)

That television show is absolutely draining to watch.

Following up to this thread...

@SparseFlyer: Were you looking for my opinion of the LX E Gates Lounge at ZRH? If so, 10/10 for a J/*G lounge! :)

@yyznomad: Actually, I'm not a huge fan of the TK IST Lounge. Granted, it's massive. But I've always found its aesthetics lacking, often quite crowded, and not great for privacy.

Having just flown ZRH-IST-YUL I had the opportunity to compare both IST and ZRH lounges side by side. :D

The IST lounge was crowded, hot and sweaty and yes the food is nice and diverse but I'm not quite sure it's living up to the hype anymore. On a previous trip, I tried the sleeping rooms downstairs and while the idea is nice, the soundproofing is terrible and they are located right next to the kitchen, making it real hard to get decent sleep. Plus transit security at IST can be a real sh*t show, significantly reducing my urge to transit there in the near future.

On the other hand, ZRH is clean, organized, efficient and the new E-gates lounges are impressive, including the kitchen, work areas and extensive bar. I would agree with your 10/10 assessment. ^
