    UEFA Europa League Final 2013 in Amsterdam

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 18, 2012June 5, 2024

      I have received the above email and I said I should book the hotel first and then worry about whether I will win the ticket for the final. Last year I did not win the lottery for the Munich final but after that I checked whether I could have booked Radisson or Marriott and…

    Aeroplan wants to make a drunkard out of me!

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 11, 2012June 5, 2024

    It is 1 mile for every $2 spent at Liquor Depots and Liquor Barns.  2 weeks ago I was in a liquor store and I was asked whether I wanted to get Aeroplan miles, I was so surprised I don’t think I even understood Aeroplan but Air Miles, the same offered at Safeway that I…

    Protein/Energy Bars

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 9, 2012June 5, 2024

    Yesterday I wrote about superfoods today is the day of the protein/energy bars. In my quest for maintaining a stable energy level while away from home and on work – because on vacation I don’t need to eat this ‘stuff’ ðŸ™‚ – and helped by the per diem policy that required receipts for reimbursement (i.e. I…

    Superfoods, Not So Super!

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 8, 2012June 5, 2024

    When I travel, breakfast is the most difficult for me, lunch and dinner are easy choices, but breakfast is – “What am I going to eat?” – I value my breakfast and I need a good one to properly start the day. And I do not want to go for the hotel breakfast as most…

    Altitude Super Elite 100K, Made It!

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 7, 2012June 5, 2024

    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

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 6, 2012December 4, 2012

    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?

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler December 5, 2012June 5, 2024

    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…

    The Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Card Annual fee $120 in Canada vs. $85 in USA!

    ByThe Skeptical Traveler November 17, 2012June 5, 2024

    And both of the cards are issued by JPMorgan Chase! I understand that most products are cheaper in the US due to lower tariffs, larger market and competition, but to have a card annual fee (much) higher in Canada when the currencies are almost at par it is ludicrous. And now about the offer, that…
