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'd stay with my OnePlus 3 for another year, but the rear camera doesn't focus anymore, which can be annoyingIt is nice to know that you can take a picture anytime day or night because your phone is always with you. I left my Fuji camera at home too many times in the days before phone cameras were good enough to be useful. I missed a lot of good photo opportunities with the kids. My Motorola Milestone (Droid) had a camera that gave me five megapixels of blur, so I didn't even bother with pictures on it.

Blasphemy. With a comment like that, you might suffer the curse of flying on Spirit Airlines next to a morbidly obese flatulent pax. Fenway is a Temple. True, the place smells like an AC Y lav after a DEL/PEK/CUN - YYZ flight , and the F&B costs are abusive, but the Bosox are to baseball, what Grand Canyon Airlines are to aviation. (Complimentary beer in an MLL to anyone who figures out the relationship.)
Is this a comment in the spirit of the recent legislation that legalized the demon leaf, or are you channeling Neil Young?
Can't stand Bixby though and I can do without some of the bloatware. I have no complaints and no issues.

lol. No, in case you weren't joking, it was a comment on the Leafs' win over the Jets at their arena.

Okay I’ll bite, let’s go Sox.
But honestly I have pretty much no skin in the game this year aside from a friend who works a ton with Boston lol.
