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.

I am not sure if 36 is considered "hot" in BOM, probably just "warm".

It’s meant to be 16c tomorrow but they were reporting a few cm in say ... Newmarket. I’m not that far north as you may recall but we definitely had a dusting. Pretty much all the road signs on the 401 were unreadable and anyone parked outside had to wipe down.
Hope your upgrade clears.
Besides ... Newmarket? Sheesh, who would want to drive to that barren outpost, when you could just stay in a "warm" Mumbai?

Our Sales guys begged me to come out for a meeting in YYZ next week. I was really hoping that Winter would not be in force by then. Oh well, I guess I'll have to get temporarily reacquainted with non-skiable snow. At least my e-ups cleared.
