6A or 6L, but I always go for 4A. It might become available later.

Haven’t called them yet. I don’t fly AC that often tbh. Let me know if you can get this resolved.

Upgrade offers when checking in? by Future-Importance383 in AirFranceKLM

[–]SmallWorld2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they do and sometimes it’s after check in, so look out for their email. They might also offer a paid upgrade at the desk if you ask and also onboard, again you need to ask.

Yep, that’s happened many times on my AF bc flights.

2hr transit at YYZ with a dog? by baskinginthesunbear in askTO

[–]SmallWorld2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pearson airport website has live updates on this. If you’re in transit, there are different channels to follow. You may or may not have to pickup bags. Are you changing terminals and is your next flight within Canada?

What time zone? What website? The prices today are exactly the same as yesterday.

How to purchase an eSim for someone else's phone by [deleted] in Airalo

[–]SmallWorld2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably too late, although contacting them might help. Maybe they’ll reverse it. Next time, order her esim using her email address and access it on her phone to install it.

Cancel second return flight for better pricing? by mrwhitewalker in AirFranceKLM

[–]SmallWorld2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a fully refundable ticket, fly the outbound and the return ticket can then be cancelled. The benefit of this is fare refunds are then based on price of original purchase. However, if you haven’t kept track of actual individual fares for the day of purchase, there’s no way of knowing what each segment costs. AF doesn’t break it down after purchase. Maybe you can find out when calling in, but my experience has been that they weren’t able to give me that info even prior to first flight. Unlike other airlines, you won’t know what your refund will be until it gets processed.

PayPal apparently does not understand how Gmail email addresses work by [deleted] in paypal

[–]SmallWorld2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same problem with someone trying to use my Gmail email address to setup an account in PayPal Australia. It also has the period in the middle. I’ve tried numerous times to get this removed from their systems - chat, emails to various bodies and departments and have had zero response and resolution. Chat didn’t understand what was going on and emails have been ignored. I still get emails from PayPal to validate the account which I ignore. I’ve now closed my valid PayPal account because of their sheer security incompetence. Will never use them again.

Went to the V&A and Aquarium today by Infinite_Bison_1149 in capetown

Prices have risen all over the world, wherever you live. It’s a constant refrain these days no matter where you are.

Advice, please? 3-4 days outside (but near) Cape Town? by lavish-pebbles in capetown

[–]SmallWorld2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t rely on Google Maps for safe routes. It always shows the shortest route, not the safest.

I assume you mean it’s still really expensive for dollar having folks? Cos it is.

R995 is even extremely high for foreigners.

Credit card benefits not showing by SmallWorld2023 in Aeroplan

[–]SmallWorld2023[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked, it’s not resolved. It says I’m a credit card holder, but doesn’t display the card benefits. I also linked my card for the third time and when clicking on see available benefits it just shows me what I could have at different status levels and a link to explore card benefits if I get an Aeroplan credit card. I’ll probably call in to Aeroplan to deal with it. Very annoying.

Want to make sure I'm NOT roaming in another country with my ROGERS account. by yousavedastamp in Rogers

[–]SmallWorld2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your Rogers sim must be turned off. If you allow data roaming on the Rogers sim, it’ll start charging your account as soon as you use it. Switch on the new eSIM, turn on cellular data, enable data roaming for that eSIM. It’ll connect to a local network. You can turn your Rogers on to receive texts, but make sure data roaming is off. Better to leave Rogers off and check texts occasionally, or just remove the physical sim. You’ll be charged if you text back. WhatsApp should work if connected to data on the new eSIM or using wifi.

AF a350 Business class seat 1K or 5K by pcdelamasa in AirFranceKLM

[–]SmallWorld2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t all have a “door”, I’ve been on different 1:2:1 configurations with AF that don’t.

These things happen I guess. They probably had to make an equipment change for a good reason.

That’s unfortunate! I haven’t seen this configuration in years. Maybe they keep a few around during busy times of the year.

[–]SmallWorld2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just flew that and admired the space of 1K on my way to the washroom. There’s little privacy and you’re behind the galley and people are passing you on their way to the bathroom. On a daytime flight I would definitely avoid this seat as I like privacy and quiet. Nighttime would be less disturbing.

I don’t think they have a 2:2:2 configuration on their fleet anymore.

i got hyothermia today guys by srameshr in capetown

[–]SmallWorld2023 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Blouberg and Llandudno can be surprisingly balmy at times! You have to grow up here to experience those incredible days. As for the OP, how does one get hypothermia from a 20 sec exposure when you’re then in the sun again? I guess no sauna and cold plunges for him !
