FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Adam Smith
The original forum lounge 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.

While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge, that doesn't mean that the FT rules don't apply here (they definitely do), please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

For those interested, previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread,2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition, 2018 edition, 2019 edition, 2020 edition, 2021 edition, and 2022 edition.

I think there was discussion of a YVR date that I can no longer make due to immigration issues.

Where's the SQ F cabin between YVR and SFO when you need one? I don't feel that is an unreasonable expectation.

Or possibly I'm just hanging out with the wrong people on FT.

I suggested one, but that was three itineraries ago.

If anyone's interested in a Sepulveda In-N-Out Burger planespotting DO on the evening of Jan 31, I'll be there.

That is so freaky - I was just talking about In-N-Out.

Great minds think alike, I guess.

I'd rather do something in BKK on the 30th and then have an in-flight do on the 31st.

Gosh, that’ll be my son’s dream.

Cannot tell him I can’t take him there due to my work

That sounds like great fun, and I'd be happy to attend, there's just the minor detail where I won't be *on* a flight from Bangkok on the 31st.

Luckily AC is being so slow with the rollover processing that it won't make much difference...

Ah, so not the SCL that just wrapped up its testing of the Smuggler's Cove Category 2 rums, with a resounding 9-1 victory for El Dorado 3 over Plantation 3-Star?
