FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: jc94
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 , 2015 edition, 2016 edition and 2017 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 as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.

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 here 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.

That is easy. I mean the middle chunk of numbers (which would have been on physical "plates" like in the old chunk-a-chunk CC thingers). I'm trying to figure out some corporate TA shenanigans.

I need to reduce this muffin overflow. The armchair P25Ks, E35Ks, and E50Ks here who have never met me say I clearly must be chubs chubs and have a horrible life, and that I should lose some of this muffiny muffmufftop.

I guess I could always try this:

If you need to reduce your 2MMMuffinTop I guess I need to reduce my 100kLifeTime one.

To be clear, it's actually #2MMuffinTop with only two M's... it's a one letter-common portmanteau.

Wait, we haven't figured out which one is the worst, 15h 777Y, rouge Y, or 7M8 Y. And to maximize the effect, please choose a middle seat at the back

Leafs deserve to not make the playoffs. They're just lucky with the divisional playoff requirements and a weak Eastern Division.

Luckily I haven't done Rouge, but I think I'd have to say 7M8 Y is worse than 777 Y

Leafs will make the playoffs. And once a team's in the playoffs, anything can happen.

The Habs, on the other hand.......
