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.

Great idea, and normally I'd be in, but I'll be somewhere in New England with son #2 .

It is the May long weekend, so it might be difficult to get a crowd...

Isn't every weekend a long weekend for you right now, so long it blends right in to the next one?

And frankly, not really a long weekend in Montreal.

There is something about celebrating the birthday of a British Queen that does not really translate well in la belle province....

I could possibly attend a May YUL DO... depending on my travel/work situation at that point in time.

Anyone try/had Grant's Sherry Cask Reserve?

Yes, I know I know... it's a blended malt and relatively young... but wanted to know people's thoughts on it while considering the relatively low price.

It‘s a strange holiday given the UK (except Scotland) doesn’t celebrate it. They have two public holidays in May. Neither is for Queen Victoria.

But then we have a random day off in August just because too. Works for me!

Woke up to the coldest day of this winter today. Currently -26.8 C according to the thermometer on my deck (so no windchill included in that). I know that the prairie folk will laugh at me, but us wimpy Nova Scotians aren't used to this sort of thing.

At least the airport workers have it easier. It is -19 C at YQM and -14.6 C at YHZ.

It is for the Public Works crew that is repairing the water main at the end of my street. Though it has warmed all the way up to -18 now that the sun has been up for a bit. It bottomed out at -27.4 around 6:30.
