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.

This is in Coal Harbour. Agreed, a douchy part of town, but a place with enough tax base to complain loudly. Stinks around Arbutus too. SYD is looking good right about now, except I'd need to be back for Wednesday, which I suppose 33/34 might do... J9Y9 on 33 tonight... hmm...

I'll buy you a signature cocktail and will even throw in the insulin.

Stayed in Vancouver. Too lazy to shower and stuff, and the winds shifted so the poopoo smell went away for now. Also realized that being on planes for 30 hours (turn) runs a similar risk of being draped in poopoo smells...

My issue with these events is that they cater too much to the people who know nothing.
I think there were maybe 3 things I learned from attending an FTU and two PointsU events.
It certainly doesn't help when some of the sessions are "how to get a US credit card without an SSN"

Leafs couldn't get past BOS in first round despite being one of 7 teams with over 100 points (albeit less than BOS).
Raps, with a NBA-2nd-best reg season record, get owned and swept by LeBron again in second round.
Jays' pitching prospect Pearson has line drive fracture his ulna; Osuna, the ace closer arrested for assault charge and put on admin leave; team currently being no-hit by Mariners into the 7th at Rogers Centre.
MLS lost CONCACAF Champions League final to Chivas.
On the bright side, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

Well, at least Jays got no-hit by a Canadian... who was a former Jays draft pick!

My mother just told me the they are are flying YUL-MRS on TS.
Their need to punish themselves is well known, but I can't fathom that level of self-flagellation.

At least it avoids an extra connection in Europe? I tried to convince my parents to fly KLM over TS (both were 1 stop) but they preferred a 'Canadian' airline.
