Altitude Super Elite 100K, Made It!
I have made it! I was losing any hope, but all of the sudden I had to go on a business trip. However, I was about to pay for a few short trips (but my heart wasn’t into it), but more than paying out of my pocket I was prepared to resort to extreme measures: a change of…
Baggage damaged, first check from Air Canada
The damage happened during the trip I did this summer – Business Class United and Europe (various). It took some time and a few e-mails, but partly it was my ‘fault’. They say to keep the subject when you reply and I did but I sent the reply with the required documents from other e-mail…
WestJet Turning into Air Canada?
WestJet is the other major Canadian airline company that I knew had lower prices than Air Canada (and I think they still have) but it is good that AC was my company’s preferred airline (almost mandatory) so I tried to avoid WestJet as much as I could as they did not offer upgrades or status miles. However, I was curious…
‘Air Canada tops for in-flight entertainment’
I have just read in an Air Canada newsletter: “We’re delighted to have been chosen as one of the world’s ten best airlines for in-flight entertainment (IFE) by SmarterTravel.com. Air Canada has been ranked as one of the world’s ten best airlines offering the most advanced, unique, and high-quality in-flight entertainment offerings in the industry.”…
Air Canada Facebook Contest “Around the world in 750 stories”
Usually when I see a contest on Facebook I pass especially if I have to write stories. However, we are talking here about 750 round-trip tickets, so the chances are good. https://www.facebook.com/aircanada/app_318740734900406 So, let’s participate this time, I’ll write a (very) short story and be done with it. Suggestion for Air Canada: best stories (as…
Earn 50% Extra Air Canada Status Miles and Israel is in Asia!
“From October 16 until December 31, 2012, every time you fly between Canada and Europe, Israel, Asia, Australia or South America, with a Tango Plus, Latitude or Executive First fare …” I wonder why they mention ‘Israel, Asia’ separately. Israel is in Asia. Not that Wikipedia is the ultimate truth but it is the only free…
Business Class United and Europe (various) – findings and conclusion
This was my first time I had flown business class with other airlines than Air Canada (and the reason is in this post: United vs Air Canada – $339 vs $908). So I flew Vancouver to Chicago with United business class and in comparison with Air Canada I felt like I was back in time: no…
“I too have felt the fury rising when I hear the word ‘deplane’ from cabin crews.”
I was about to use the word ‘deplane’ for one of my posts, but I thought ‘I’d better look it up’, all of the sudden this word didn’t feel right even if I had heard it countless times before. And I found an article about this word 🙂 on The Economist website: “A COLLEAGUE writes: My wife was…
Air Canada contest that made me log on to Facebook everyday is over
Thank God! I have logged on Facebook for the past month more than in my entire life. However, I missed a few days as I forgot, otherwise I was quite disciplined. Also, I could not help but notice the fairly addictive nature of Facebook. So there are some chances that in 5, 7 years the stock…
