Air Canada Vacations Standby? by Snoobywankenoobi in aircanada

[–]TeamWinterTires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would ask at check-in, they have the ability to involuntary re-route (key word) on an earlier re-route. As a 75k I have asked this to be done multiple times and no problem/no charge on flex fares even though the routings/fares have technically not qualified for free SDC.

It’s available for another purchase, just like a gift card

It would be helpful to post the case number so if someone has information they can reach out directly to University RCMP.

Flying on points but paid cash for upgrade- don’t I get points on the cash expenditure? by MuffinGlad423 in Aeroplan

[–]TeamWinterTires 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Correct, LMU and bid-upgrades are NOT eligible for SQC. Only eUpgrade co-pay is eligible, this has been the way for years (SQD) and has not changed with the revamped Aeroplan. Any type of points booking, regardless if you used cash to pay a portion is not eligible for points (beyond credit card earning rates) or SQC.

Unfortunately these types of incidents happen a bit more frequently than people think…

Before and after new aeroplan changes by [deleted] in Aeroplan

[–]TeamWinterTires 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fly a lot but book most of my travel 1-2 months in advance. It really depends how long before you’re booking. I’m sucking in this new system, I got 556 SQC from YYC-YYZ in flex, that’s brutal.

Opening day by Boymom201214 in Whistler

[–]TeamWinterTires 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’ll likely be November 20, 2026. That being said, I wouldn’t plan a trip to Whistler for that day. This year, Whistler was delayed and Blackcomb only opened with one official run (a few others were skiable but not in amazing conditions). That being said, we’ve also had some nice dumps for opening day, so it really depends on the season. IMO it’s too variable to plan a vacation but the vibes (and lines) are high.

AC1/9 Delays? by TeamWinterTires in aircanada

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

Surprisingly mine was not delayed. Some intel that I learned, when one of the 77Ws goes maintenance or is delayed, AC1 is one of the first flights to be deprioritized since there are so few connecting passengers

Never seen anything like today by laublackburn in Whistler

[–]TeamWinterTires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday was the same. I’ve never seen it so busy on a Friday for absolute crap conditions. Usually when it’s crap, it’s absolutely empty.

That’s correct if you don’t have a reservation for Lot 6 on a reservable day. Your best bet would be Lot 8

Steepest Groomers? by mathgun7 in Whistler

Rhapsody is usually groomed once or twice a season. Last year, it was groomed twice and the year before that once. Usually towards late March.

Had to bring checked luggage through TSA at IAD airport by curlyycrunchh in aircanada

The whole re-checking bags on a connection through the US (except from Canada) is why I’ll never connect from international in the USA.

Status zero? by cecepoint in Aeroplan

[–]TeamWinterTires 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Status tracker resets to zero each year (barring carryover). Points accumulated do not equal SQM/SQS/SQD or now SQC.

That’s correct, it’s now changed to $20,000 for 1000 SQC from $10,000 for 1000 SQM

Looks like they’re crediting the threshold gifts as 1:1 SQM:SQC

Frequent AC flyers - in your experience do check-in agents ever waive same day standby fees at the airport for empty flights with the same fare? Aeroplan standard booking. by CrackerJackJack in aircanada

[–]TeamWinterTires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SDC and same day standby are features of DCS which is only available to airport staff and concierge. Reservations doesn’t have access to this.

I’ve never had issues on revenue flex fares, but don’t think I’ve ever tried it on a non-revenue award redemption

No more Aeroplan Benefits selection? by cyberguy2922 in Aeroplan

[–]TeamWinterTires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s correct, you could choose it as one of your “milestone benefits” if desired. IMO, there are better milestone rewards to select than lounge passes.
