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.

Maybe it's the "oinks".

Umm, have fun?
I know you're thinking Deliverance. But I assure you it's clean fun.

Spend enough hours here that we can have dinner/drink before you go where the government buildings are. When?

Well, YEG has the latter two so send up a flare if you're in this area code on your travels.

As per above... unlikely, unfortunately.

But that doesn't stop you from coming over here and joining us.

The baby in its second week does though. Well technically I wouldn’t be stopped by him but I would be unlikely to ever make another if I came out there

I have been grounded for a month. I feel weird. I have 3 more weeks to go and then things return to normal

EDIT: This was my 1000th post. I really should have noticed and made it something noteworthy.

@24left and yyznomad return to the east
it was fun on the island, especially with the main feast
The trip was short
With MLL food to snort
Their final flight of the weekend was on a 773, what a beast!

Of course. We can then argue (over beers) how many more first round draft picks the Oilers need to make it to the playoffs again.

Ugh, IAH for 2x weeks. Then maybe BUF... which means driving from my lounge away from lounge?

Time to watch the Raps game 5. Hopefully The Claw continues his dominating streak and Embid suffers the curse of Montezume or something similar.
