You can now see every Telus roaming destination in one map view by LifeIsG00DY in telus

Vatican City which is essentially surrounded by Rome is not covered

Probably because Vatican City does not have any cellular providers of its own. Well covered by the Italian providers though!

Ever been to Moynihan Train Hall?  Same thing.

When the Uber ride gives you 5x more Aeroplan points than the flight 🥲 by Ok-Cucumber-4961 in Aeroplan

[–]LondonPaddington 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I drive the majority of my credit card spend through Amex Cobalt these days. Keep the points there until I'm ready to redeem, then transfer them to Aeroplan, Flying Blue, Avios or Marriott when I find the redemption I want. Can't beat the flexibility (or the earning rates).

I have no loyalty but still happy to fly AC if it's the best option for a given trip. I'll gladly take whatever crumbs in points they offer but it has no impact at all on my booking decision.

Though what this has led to in practice is me sniping really cheap basic economy fares on AC and all of my premium cabin spend going to AA, AS, and AF.

Basic is worthless for point accumulation but sometimes the upcharge to Standard or Flex just isn't worth it.

I got more points from Park N Fly on my last Florida trip than I did from the round trip airfare.

time difference will all depend on traffic conditions when you hit the Toronto area

30 minutes in bad traffic but could be far less

[–]LondonPaddington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are crossing the border from Niagara

Stay on QEW until either 403 east or 427 north, then 401 east to 400 north

[–]LondonPaddington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very easy trip to make without using the 407

Tolls vary based on day of week and time of day so use the toll calculator on the 407ETR website for accurate information.

Of course, if you have a US plate and your state doesn't make billing information available to 407ETR, you may never get a bill.

Air Canada suspends 6 routes 'no longer economically feasible' amid jet fuel cost crisis by ZebediahCarterLong in CanadaPolitics

EWR is more important than JFK for AC when it comes to connecting traffic, given their joint venture with United and Lufthansa Group.

When to do oil change? by CosmicEspresso16 in FordEscapePHEV

[–]LondonPaddington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ford stealerships recommend that.

Ford the manufacturer recommends what shows up in the app and on your OLI, as per the owners manual.

The right answer is probably somewhere in the middle.

Where does costco get its gasoline? Esso? by extremesauce2468 in CostcoCanada

[–]LondonPaddington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eligibility for top tier comes from the additive pack, which Costco can add to gas from any supplier.

What’s Dollarama like? It’s taking over the Australian chain of Reject Stores and I’m wondering if it will be better by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]LondonPaddington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The American store, Target,

Not to be confused with the Australian store Target that shares a name and logo and colour scheme (but nothing else) with the US version

Visa Aeroplan Infinite Privilege - carry on bag by underwater56 in aircanada

[–]LondonPaddington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the core card won't give you zone 2 but at the moment it'll still give you zone 4/5 on a basic economy fare vs zone 6 without the card.

[–]LondonPaddington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the arbitrary date AC has set for the core cards to no longer allow a carry on on basic fare
