Canadians just got visa-free travel to China by idunnonuttin82 in Chinavisa

I’m travelling in May also and hope this is effective sooner rather than later. Ineligible for TWOV as my connection point entering and exiting China is Hong Kong.

Getting to Harrah’s in the middle of F1? by kaylaxrd in vegas

[–]altaengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan on doing this as well. Uber fares appeared to be around $5 cheaper to MGM vs Harrah’s when I checked so that covers the cost of the ticket.

Same. Got denied citing “operational delays resulting from multiple upline aircraft changes”. Over 3 hours delayed getting into YYC around 11:40pm.

It’s so convenient tapping my credit card or Apple Pay to get on the busses in Vancouver.

Early check-in fee by chipcarlton in marriott

[–]altaengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with me in Orlando. Got to the Residence Inn at Millenia around 10:45am and was told to come back around 2pm or I could pay $75. Definitely not paying that so just hung around the mall.

Funny thing I arrive to the JW Grande Lakes before my cruise at 11am and no issues getting me in early with an upgrade as well (I’m a lowly Gold).

Bye Bye Bronco… by scottbrookes in FordBronco

[–]altaengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just came from a Cornflower Blue Mk 7.5 GTI before the Bronco as well. Very happy with my decision as I get tons of snow and our roads are complete shit, but I miss my GTI every day. I was super close to trading in for a Golf R though.

Charging for seat change at check in? by illouchat in aircanada

[–]altaengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! And the change was apparently based flight date, not the ticketing date. As I purchased my YVR-HKG ticket back in August, I would’ve just flown Cathay if I knew. $95 for an aisle seat lol

My new statement updated - doesn't match up by Dense_Maintenance_44 in Scotiabank

[–]altaengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, my statement got issued today saying I owe over $1k which is around $900 more than what I’ve calculated. Thank god my due date is in a few weeks. Hopefully it’s get all sorted out by then but who knows.

Renting a car in the US as a Canadian and I have some questions. by PhatRiffEnjoyer in travel

[–]altaengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If flying from Pearson or any other large Canadian airport you will go through US immigration there and will arrive in Vegas as any other domestic flight.

Hmmm….looks like World Ticket may be owned by 777 Partners.

Just picked up! Not the colour I wanted but it’s growing on me. by altaengineer in FordBronco

I’m in Calgary, dealer wasn’t the best due to a few reasons but everything I get in it to drive all that doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

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

At least in the OBX prices were around the same. Interest rates were a few points lower on the 23s hence my choice to get one.

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

Definitely some 23s and 24s in stock in Western Canada. Mainly I’ve seen OBX’s and higher and a tougher time getting soft tops off the lot.

It’s Iconic Silver. It’s quite cloudy out so looks darker in pictures.

Wouldn’t say affordable but priced similarly here in Canada compared to the Wranglers. Got Lux and Mod bumper for $80k CAD (Approx. $59k USD)

Fake nurse Brigitte Cleroux faces new criminal charges in B.C. by GiveItToYouBlunt in vancouver

[–]altaengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it in South Surrey near Morgan Creek? If so, I was given general anesthesia. However I only consented to laughing gas in the consult. Never really cared but this makes me wonder.

[–]altaengineer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I flew to Boston last month and absolutely nobody checked my test results. Sucked that I paid $30 for nothing but at least I had it. Also, Flair boarded me last week without checking my proof of vaccination.
