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.

Snow? But it's almost April!

You guys in Central Canada are truly hard core.

Although I may have burned my nose today driving around with the top down.

I note for the record that you're not denying that you have long & dainty fingers .... Just that this particular picture is not a picture of them

Hey guys!

I bought a Juneyao Airlines ticket last week. The ticket was issued with 018 stock.

It seemed familiar, so I looked it up. 018 - Canadian Airlines

Didnt know where to bring my question... nor what my question would be... thought it was pretty odd though.

The IATA designator got re-used too. CP is now compass air.

Also JD used to be for JAS, the third largest airline of Japan back then. It’s now for Beijing Capital Airlines.

There's a travel agent in Eastern Ontario with a large Canadian Airlines logo sign still on a sign outside

I have this twisted feeling of wanting the buds to lose all remaining games and habs to win all their remaining games.

In other news, I learned how to play the Alexander Siloti piano reduction of the Waltz from Sleeping Beauty (Tchaikovsky, Op. 66, Act I, No. 6) this week. The reprise of the main theme was the most difficult with the left hand melody and the right hand leaps.

Nice.
No. 48 gets called up, and scores.

Added: and Jays being nono'd so far bot 7
More added: Hess (BAL) pulled after 130+ pitches and having perfect game broken by a walk
and more: nono broken bot 7

more!: and buds clinch, no. 91 exacts revenge!

Indeed. Not much left of the old team. Hopefully the young fellows will remember that they are supposed to hit the little round thing with the big wooden stick sometime soon. Rebuilds can be painful but I have hope that this one will eventually work out well.

Here's to hoping.
I still need my '15/'16 fix. Especially '15. (sick of rewatching the same YouTube vids for that nostalgic injection)
