FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: tcook052
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 , 2017 edition and 2018 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. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status 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, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.

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.

At the moment it reports no snow.

And yet, the snow continues......
Didn't they tell you, the internet lies.

*cleared is a relative term, there's a space just about wide enough to drive down in the middle of the road now......
Cleared is a fluid term, more of a suggestion really.

I love that this little bit of history and expression never goes away.

I hear they've had lots of time to work on their golf game recently, much like every Leaf's squad in my lifetime.

Always interesting to see the different types of people out there when you help them solve a problem or with info that will allow them to do it themselves. Clearly some went to the rude school and others are very grateful.

Wouldn't mind being in MCO tomorrow night to see the men's soccer team put the boots to the US again!

Then I could go to Universal Orlando on Sat and get a Red Velvet Chocolate Chip muffin and see if I could run into flyquiet . Judging by her Twitter posts I am sure I could find her at Voodoo Donuts....

You have to post a pic for 24left She is this Forum’s resident foodie pic lover (and a good baker as well)!

Not at all the calibre of 24L's photography, but I will lead off with a snap of the Santa pair of filled doughnuts from the display case. Jelly doughnuts are not my jam -- I think these are filled with some kind of chocolate cream but whatever. The Grape Ape was my selection. I regret that it started to rain so I stuffed the bag into my drawstring bag and it suffered a wee bit on the walk home to eat it. A little skimpy on the purple sprinkles, if I may say.

Hyatt app lists alot of Mlife/MGM properties for $110-150 a night by searching Thurs Jan9 thru Sun Jan 12 as separate dates.

Though the trick of any successful trade show is to go just long enough to get the name badge, freebies, and tax writeoff.

Blue meth? Are coloured versions now superior?!

I'll give you a chance to make your own judgment in exchange for a flu shot.

Blue meth is vastly superior. Much purer. That's why Walter White was so successful with it.

Someone made a documentary about it, actually.
