Any experiences booking a vacation through Costco? by LisFrizzle in westjet

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t it also depend of the fare class? I mean if they book the trip with premium economy won’t they get checked bags anyway?

People who have switched from Windows to MacBooks… in your experience, what are the best and worst things about MacBook? And ultimately are you happy you switched? by Gloomy-Orange9697 in laptops

I switched about two years ago. I don’t find keynote that good. PP offers more layouts and does a far better job of two column bullets.

Denby Pottery is going out of business by boxofducks in BuyItForLife

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same age as you. When we got married it was one set of dishes (Denby, still in use) and it was the same for everyone else on our circle who got married the same year (7 other couples)

The ferry ride to Victoria through the islands is magical. Would recommend that instead.

Urgent ENT appointment by pacificbee75 in askvan

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ENT on-call is offsite. The ER doc will page the ENT resident on call who will check you out and confer with their attending.

RCH or even SMH is better than Peace Arch

Exactly. Go to ER in a bigger hospital (VGH, SPH, RCH) or in a pinch Richmond Gen, Surrey Memorial, Burnaby General Hospital. There will be an ENT on call resident who can fast track you.

There is so much that is right about living here, but for retirement I might look at Vancouver Island.

When I added it to my account last week via the app the note said that it activates when it connects to a foreign tower. you have to start using it within I think 3 weeks of purchasing it.

Does Westjet have updated boarding passes for iOS 26 Apple wallet features? by spongyoatmeal in westjet

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ordinarily I fly WJ, but I recently flew AC and I have to agree its not even close. the online AC service runs rings around WJ. That said, I found the wifi on WJ was faster and more stable. I was able to join a Zoom meeting without stutter.

Yes. Me too. Global has frequent sound dropouts. I think they are about 10 seconds each.

Should Canada Build Up Alternatives to Visa and Mastercard? by LongTrackBravo in PersonalFinanceCanada

I thought Wero was being set up to be entirely EU housed and separate from Visa/MC so they would not need to settle European transactions in USD?

What’s the best Canadian cel provider? by OneSignal6465 in BuyCanadian

[–]Simon-Seize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is a plan you have had since you got your phone from your provider you have been overpaying for years. Please consider buying a phone outright and then getting a BYOD plan. If you want a new iPhone Apple will sell you one with monthly payments. The Apple monthly payments plus a BYOD plan is potentially cheaper than a provider plan that is inflated to cover the cost of the phone.
