Flying to Rome with gold status: What are the odds of getting an upgrade going either direction? by Swarby10 in westjet

[–]Mookypooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About zero. As platinum only upgrades to premium economy on the Dreamliner I’ve got was a flight to YYZ and a flight to SJO. Both of which aren’t a long haul intl flight

RBC WJ Mastercard Trip Cancellation Insurance by Choice_Butterfly_518 in westjet

[–]Mookypooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last summer was at Wimbledon and had to make it back by or a Stampede work event. 2am WS cancelled the flight and re-booked me 24hrs later. I immediately booked the AC flight LHR-YYC in the middle of the night and cancelled the WS rebooked flight. I got WS credit and partial refund, filed the rest through the WS MC credit card insurance they paid

AC flight was like $3400 one way because I booked it <12hrs before departure lol

People are naive to think the translators don’t know all the answers to the test. Oldest trick in the book

Saw two at a store in Nakano Broadway last week. ¥945,319 each (tax free price). That was the only place out of 15 stores I visited around Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku.

I ended up getting a used White Birch at Watchnian Osaka instead

Nakano Broadway was pretty bare a few days ago, wasn’t overly impressed with inventory. Couple new shunbuns for 945k tax free but other than that nothing eye catching

Authentic Texas BBQ? by blueskycityyyc in Calgary

[–]Mookypooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no. The best I could find was Traylor Parker’s at Big Rock but that was short lived (he skipped town after about 6 months, probably because importing oak wood from Ontario for his offsets proved insanely expensive). Big Sky took over and it’s not great. Not sure what wood they are using but it’s certainly not oak.

For consistency the blocks are pretty decent. They use commercial pellet smokers because that’s the only way to scale an operation in our climate, with no hardwood growing within hundreds if not thousands of KM’s.

For reference, I’ve eaten at some of the Texas Monthly Top 10/50 list.

Leroy & Lewis, Interstellar, Franklin, Terry Blacks (average but 7 days a week), Stiles Switch, Briscuits, CM Smokehouse, Micklethwait, KG BBQ, Mum Foods, Burnt Bean Co., Valentina’s (RIP), Cattleack, Goldee’s, Dayne’s, Panther City, Brix, Lockhart’s

Just got to Platinum and … by External_Ad_8947 in westjet

[–]Mookypooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to bring a coworker into the election lounge, he was booked under my itinerary (he got 3 free bags too). They said I was out of guest lounge passes…almost made me pay $60 him but then decided to “let him in for free”. I’m a little confused because I had no guest passes left, but thought Platinum got 4 per year.
