If you're not doing a minimum of 9 segments a day, you're not truly experiencing the contest.

I'm not sure if this year is harder to rack up badges or easier. They definitely have less Canada-based earning Globetrotter badges, or combine more US airports which makes things a bit more tedious.

I like the picture of the snow.

The leading cause of AC's ongoing OTP issues as we all know. And apparently for AC IT as well.

I really need to go discount-code hunting. If Jazz employees get the same or similar ones as mainline employees, I really regret not getting contact info from all the FAs last year

Edit: The Jazz codes are ~10% off and they do not allow for Aeroplan accumulation, so they wouldn't even work for EYW. Sigh.

For Wing Tip badges, does it have to be direct? ie. does it have to be LAX direct to YYC as opposed to LAX-YVR-YYZ?

Yes, Wing Tips require that specific segment to be flown.

Hey, canadiancow . Can you dial back your script a bit? I'm trying to book a flight, but keep ending up in the waiting room.
