It says only Maple Leaf Lounges and only one lounge per day. So this will be limiting.

The team badges says "To earn the Team Silver Dart Badge, participants must complete a combination of four (4) domestic round trips and one (1) international round trip."

So I assume US is included in international? since it's not domestic?

not one lounge per day

"once PER lounge PER day"

so, max 3 badges per day at each of the following airports: YYZ/YUL/YVR. (maybe 4 if the YYZ SS counts as a lounge.)

Wowzers. Looking at some routes it really looks like AC's branded fares / new fare system has jacked up the price for flex substantially. Looks like it's going to be an even more expensive EYW than last year's.

Each team member must complete the 5 round trips, or the team as a whole?

Each team member.
For every four domestic round trips and one international round trip you complete, your team receives one of these badges, and you receive 300 Wings.

Define day. 11:59pm and then 00:01am ... once or twice?

”I’ll be back in two minutes”
”Okay I’m back please rescan my BP even though you recognize me”

Sadly, I went with the other team since almost all of trips are international. But will cheer on all FT members. Except the trolls, of course ;-)

Also did the same. Unfortunately booked most of my International trips before the EYW window, so missing out on a bunch of wings here.

Seems like YYJ, YCD, and YEG will be quite lucrative this time around. Along with YQQ.

Yeah me too. Oh well, I'm not sure I would have earned that many wings with next weeks YVR-SYD-AKL-BNE-YVR trip anyway.

In the end EYW is an enjoyable spectator sport for me.
