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.

I haven't seen any posts by @yyznomad since mid July. Perhaps he and @24left are playing tag team on FT?

@24left and @yyznomad might in fact be the same person.

Here we go then,

Oh where, Oh where has @yyznomad gone?
Oh where, Oh where can he be?
His 2MMuffintop hasn't been spotted for a while,
Now that he's a FOTSG.

The rhyme only works if you read it as an initialism. But I still laughed ��

That's alright, the rhythm doesn't work at all.

I heard Pearl Jam when reading it. Hopefully that was the intent!

Sorry, in my mind it was "Oh, Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone"

I just looked it up, I didn't even know that Pearl Jam covered that 60's song.

I gotta say the small planes without IFE like the DH8 often compensate in the entertainment area with the passenger-facing "sharon stone" jumpseat

TIL what a Sharon Stone seat is

Is it actually possible to be jetlagged after a 3h flight = 2h timezone change? I didn't think so until today...

“Hungover” is the term that’s eluding you.
