Important Event Notes - FAQ
- It’s in November. That’s not really fall, is it?
Yes, technically it’s still fall until December 21. - Will the YYC Fall Do offer superior dining and beverage service?
Yes. The restaurant has a very long whisky list and the best burgers in town. You can savour a sit-down meal from the ŕ la carte menu crafted for the Do. - What if I like hockey puck beef?
Then you're a weirdo, but I guess you can ask them to do it.
Important Event Notes (real ones this time!)
- The burger and Scotch theme is purely optional. Those are the specialties of the restaurant, but you're free to have a salad and a Coke Zero, fish and white wine or whatever floats your boat.
- We will have access to a few of the restaurant's recent Whisky Wednesday tasting menus which offer a flight of 3-4 whiskies at a reduced price. For past Do attendees, this is the same as previous years

Sounds like this event will be as packed as the YUL DOM MLL at 17:00 on a Friday.
Hopefully with better food and no need to line up outside though.

Thanks Adam Smith .
I arrive in Calgary (late) the night before - does anyone have any interest in getting together for a pre-do (for lunch, etc)?

I've moved myself to the confirmed list. But, I'll be leaving early for my flight out to YVR and on to HKG.
Adam Smith, I owe you a drink or two for that cemetery tour ticket!

Should we list our flights, seats, and hotels on the wiki? I'm booked inbound to YYC on the 5th on AC210 in J, and outbound on the 6th on AC213 in J. No seats selected or hotels booked as of yet.

Wikis can be edited by anyone with 90 posts and 90 days on FT
I will be staying at the Chateau Smith. The bed is comfortable and the bar is great, but it's quite small, and I'm sure it's sold out for the night in question

I think AC223 is at risk of becoming >50% FTers in J.
Too short a trip for an-inflight Do, luckily.

I was just looking at what it would take to get on it. I'm either gonna have to cancel my first booking (AE lowest) and use my latitude flight pass at T-48 if there is any J space, or risk it and go for the SDC. Now that I'm older I get bad hangovers. After flying halfway around the world the odds are I'll need the extra time to sleep that 223 allows.
