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, 2018 edition and 2019 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.

So? Don't you have to go shopping from time to time anyway?

And other delivery options.

The fountain also produces the best sparkling water I've ever had, which is my primary non-alcoholic beverage.

No, like leaving the city limits for less-strict CO2.

Okay, but I'm just saying that there are some fairly simple solutions that don't involve a lot of hassle. There's also 7/11, drugstores, etc. So many places you could source some Coke Zero

7/11 would be stupid-expensive for the quantities we need.

And given store entry requirements, I'm not actually sure about the hassle. I'll find out tomorrow.

How much do you need to get you through until early next week? 2-3 2L bottles? Expensive on a per-mL basis (or per-fl. oz?), but not a lot of absolute dollars, is it?
