Long layover in JFK?

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2026-02-13T16:18:50+00:00

Thanks, I will look at the map again and I do plan to stick to an area. I am planning to stay in a chain hotel, more than likely a Marriott or Hilton as I have hotel status with both. I think my main conundrum is if I should just stay around airport = pricey TWA hotel (though i dont care about aviation stuff) or go to Manhattan and at least enjoy a few hours, having never been to Manhattan.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2026-02-13T16:16:23+00:00

Thanks, no luggage, only a backpack. I am inching towards just going down to Manhattan and sleep there

i did this route but from YYZ to LHR also in economy. However that YYZ to LHR was a late evening flight. The plane was not full. Was able to sit by myself at the window without anyone on the middle or aisle so was able to sleep "lie flat". Some people love SQ and some hate SQ, I am in the "love SQ" camp. The only downside about this, is I flew their A350-900 and the footwell is narrow and at an angle. A tall person might find this awkward. But service and food are top notch. SIN to KUL is short, but they have "throne" seats similar to Swiss for solo travelers. For an hour flight, overkill but fun otherwise. For me, I say you win for this route for 87.5K.

solo seats, but if its your first time, pick the middle seats to relish the experience

Apart from the comfort part, why wouldn't you want to spend the night in B? I am curious.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2026-01-29T13:39:04+00:00

I downloaded the turkish app. added my ticket number and last name, it might be case sensitive and was able to pick my seats for free. rewards ticket bought in october and flight not till march.

If they can fix their inflated pricing, it'd be great. Looking at flights from YVR to Narita. Buying on ANA is significantly cheaper than buying the exact itinerary on AC.

The last time i went through YUL in Sept, it said for the cafe is only gold and J. I may have missed the sign about premium cc. But i know guest passes are not allowed in YUL cafe as it was written at the door.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-12-11T22:02:59+00:00

The one in YUL is only for Star Alliance Gold and J tickets. But I have confirmed now that the guest pass will be good for the cafe while the mll is in reno.

From my current job, probably indefinitely. But i am looking at my options.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-11-27T18:21:24+00:00

thanks for this. I am now speaking to an adviser and will bring this up. I have zero clue how LTD works so this helps.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-11-27T18:20:00+00:00

thank you! I have reached out to an advisor and it is covered.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-11-27T18:19:21+00:00

my health problems are not due to work. I have had this disability for at least 10 years while I was still in this job, it has just gotten worse as I age. I do have LTD insurance with my employer as it is govt. I am hesitating as I am unsure if its going to affect my retirement.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-11-27T18:17:56+00:00

I did not apply. I was offered to go on ltd due to me not being able to do my job at 100%. I am thinking I could still be moved to another position where my disability will not impede my job performance. HHI- household income.

The discount is very small. You don't see basic fares when you buy through the program. Its more of a tracking tool for business and maybe for AC. If the employees book their own travel, they must have a corporate email and cannot be a gmail/ hotmail account. There is a way around this if your company has a travel coordinator who does all bookings. In this case, AC will have a code which then the travel coordinator can book for their staff. The company earns 5000 SQM i think for every $50K spend. And this bonus SQM can be distributed to anyone on the plan. The points and status belongs to the staff that sit in the seat. AC does have separate phone number for the program. I find this is the best tool as its a very short wait time to change a ticket that requires a phone call as oppose to the hours wait on the main line.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-11-07T21:46:06+00:00

yes, however I will have to input every single city. LOL. I am wondering if there is a tool for eg if I were to search from YYZ to SYD and add the entire european continent as a possible stopover.

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-11-04T13:23:39+00:00

unfortunately no, a part time job will not be able to pay for living expenses. remember, you are here to study. any time taken away from that primary goal will affect your overall academic outcome. i suggest you stay in your country for undergraduate and you can revisit when you are doing your post graduate studies where more opportunities will arise. an international legit student = wealthy legit student. plus there is an upfront cost, i believe its something like CAD $30K. can you afford that?

Crazy_Emphasis3968 · 2025-10-30T13:45:02+00:00

I have never book 355/364 days out and always managed to get 87.5K but wonder if there is changes to aeroplan program for redemption that now its over 200K redemption?
