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.

@meagicano enjoy your first paid J trip with your mom and MOM 
My first paid J flight did feel pretty different from op-up, e-up, and AP J flights.The only downside of J is that once you go J you can't really go back

I once again reaffirmed my stance that airline loyalty on doemstic US routes is dumb.
I'm flying DL to LAS because my friend is a DL snob and we're flying together. It was within $10 of the cheapest option.
On the way back, AS was both the cheapest and the best schedule.
I've never flown AS before, and I'm excited to try it.

Ah yes the Eaton Center store. Took me a few hours even with a prebooked appt to get a new battery which to be honest didn’t help much. Overheard their convo with this girl who clearly couldn’t afford a new phone but was being told that was her best option.

FWR, I always chuckle when I walk by the Apple and Microsoft stores... because I often mistake one for the other for a split second.
