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.

Will you be putting your bare feet on the bulkhead of your next flight so everyone can inspect the results?

Well, I did it.

My last day is next Thursday.

I'll be doing a bit of a Canada tour in March (I have the month off) to visit people. YTO, YOW, YYC, YVR are definitely on my list so far. No dates yet, but I'll post them here if anyone wants to grab a drink.

Good for you. Any chance you can save YVR for first week of April? Haven't decided 5th or 6th yet.

Well shoot.

Either way, we will have a drink somewhere in this great country in March.

Congrats!!

I did the same thing. My last day is this Friday!!

I’m hoping to take 2 months off, but we’ll see. If Mrs Yhztraveller’s “honey do” list gets too long I may have to start work earlier!!!

I may join you for drinks at some point along the way. I still owe @yyznomad some single malt from Cape Breton.

Might be a good time for a mileage run!!

Hey, I wanted to try the Cape Breton single malt too, and it was my Do that you were supposed to bring it to

Are you talking about the "Glen Breton" whiskey, that fended off the lawsuit from the Scotch Whiskey Association (maybe close to 10 years ago)??

@canadiancow, along the lines of being asked if you're using your dad's SE card, I'm at a Bonvoy hotel with my mom, and when I gave the server my platinum breakfast voucher, he thanked her for her loyalty

Or the waitress at a YYZ Marriott who sees a fistful of meal vouchers and thinks she isn't going to get a tip because they don't cover that, treats me accordingly, and is treated by me, still thirsty and now also annoyed, accordingly?
