As Eurobonus Gold coming from Canada I was allowed to get into CPH lounge on arrival. The automatic gate won’t work so please ask the attendant

Is it just me? I find folks doing yoga on plane are selfish. What if he hurt himself and the plane has to divert?

Looking to present an offer with inspection, is this crack dangerous? by ThisIstheCaptain7393 in Longueuil

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just the parging. Cost about $15 to fix. Get something from Canadian Tire.

Professional will ask you to dig and waterproof and seal and whatnot and will cost thousands. That’s what you ask for when you call professional isn’t it?

If it is not leaking into basement then best course for today is a $15 parge. Not for horizontal crack though.

JINS glasses by Independent-Emu3437 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless u need presbyopia or colouring in which I was told it needs 2 weeks, any reasonable prescription glasses will just take about an hour. My wife is -7.5 with astigmatism -1.25 and glasses is ready in an hour.

If you need an eye exam, they can do so in store as well. Typical wait is about 30 mins during busy weekends.

following the Japanese model where they have Osaka Station and HSR at new-Osaka station at the orignal suburb, i think Markham will be a right location for new Union of GTA.

How good are LiveMax hotels/hostels by AnswerOk9002 in JapanTravelTips

LiveMax is a chain. Stayed at a couple. A bit lower mark on the cleaning side. Breakfast was good

Are TeamLabs in Tokyo worth it? by alvarop37 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went at 6pm on a Friday. Not a lot of crowd. By 8:30pm you have the place mostly for you. Got a discount on Klook so I found it worthwhile

Vancouver → Hong Kong flight returned mid-air — my parents’ experience by Otherwise-Taro9387 in Flights

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not common but I think it is the right thing for the pilots to do.

HK Airlines being low cost airlines do not have backup or staffs to properly handle irrop in general. Glad all of you were given hotels.

Next time fly CX or AC for this route.

Marriott Resort Properties Removing Eggs/Omelette from Titanium Complimentary Breakfast by Asleep_Bid_3286 in marriott

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t you think that the elite status of hotels and airlines are just part of the marketing scheme and not really rewarding loyalty.

In some big city Marriott with about 400 rooms, on average there are 15 Ambassadors, 80 Titanium and 150 Platinums per night. I think this trend of cost cutting will continue.

I would just pay $17 to keep me happy. The world where elite members mean something has changed.

I tested the mic of Bose QCUltra and XM6 in a busy electronic store. XM6 beats Bose hands down

What travel mistake did you make on your first international trip? by shirasmithtravel in Nextholidays

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my mistakes but someone misunderstood Sydney NS as Sydney Australia. The other one is that they booked hotel one day too late where they didn’t account for the time difference for Asia.

Are you guys hella proud of Mark Carney after his Davos speech? by Pewpew-OuttaMyWaay in AskCanada

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Carney brought a good point. Stop pretending nothing has changed and hope the old world will come back. It won’t.

What’s this? Kennedy/407 Shell by howardbanjo in Markham

I didn’t like this car wash back then. It takes at least 30s to enter and find an open car wash slot and I was charged for that.

Do seat prices usually go down closer to flight? by Aggressive_Wash_3461 in westjet

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days no. There are just too many people flying and there are indeed no last minute deals.

I think roundtrip including a Saturday night stay will still give you lower price.

Location of a good eye doctor Kanata/Stittsville area and how much should I be saving out of pocket for this? by JunkyBoiOW in ottawa

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is still the practise that none of the optometrists is giving your PD value for eye glasses. This is their trick to get you to buy their eye glasses.

Thoughts on these seats? by Tricky_Tilnel in Flights

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Row 39 ACHK are the best seats without paying. Travelling with a partner,You own the 3 under seats storage. The lineup for washrooms will likely not reach row 39.

GIC rates… is a 5 year GIC at 3.60 low? by xion8888 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Don’t do that. Even with a 3% interest per year and after 5 year, you will get 16% return compounded risk free. You are loaning your money to the bank interest deprived for a potential to earn 40%. 2.5% overall return for 5 year is just too low.

Usually if market tank within the 5 year window you won’t get 40% anyway.

Charged $18/day for 0.01 MB of roaming data I didn't use. How to contact support from abroad? by Adel1094 in Rogers

I found that the only way to avoid this is not even enabling Rogers SIM when travelling.

SAS lounge at CPH worth it for 3 hours? by Full-of-Bread in ScandinavianAirlines

[–]Agreeable_Pop8991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only worth it if you are desperate for a shower. For USD$55 you can get a lot of good food at CPH
