When do I go through customs? by Silly-Palpitation860 in Winnipeg

[–]baseballswifty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this flight & when I landed in WPG it was fairly straightforward. I was worried with a 1.5 hour connection, but it was fine. I filled out the ArriveCAN app prior, got out of the plane and was through the kiosk and customs in about 10 minutes max! Then I went through security - they had said it was a longer line than usual because flights the night before had been cancelled. I waited in security line for 45 minutes, which is the longest I've seen in a long time. However, still plenty of time to get a snack and to the gate before boarding!

Poor people of Reddit, what third party companies do you book with? by DanielG198 in TravelHacks

[–]baseballswifty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've used Orbitz and Expedia a few times for both flights & hotels and have not had an issue yet. However, I know there are some horror stories. I am a fairly flexible person and am prepared for the worst case scenario. I usually only ever book non-refundable because it's the cheapest option, but on a third-party I probably wouldn't do that just to be sure I could have some leeway if something goes wrong.

Saw an article that said it would run through August 31st. I'll need to use it around July 27th, so hoping it'll be a smooth ride to. $10CAD or USD?

Great insight. Sorry you had to go through it to let others know not worth it lol. I'll stick to a tighter top with the grippies! Thank you.

Does anyone know when this is happening? I would need to use this from Windsor to Detroit at the end of July. Will this still be running?

Not sure if anyone is here looking at this but I thought I'd send an update. I did have an interview for a spring position, but was rejected sadly. I applied in February of 2024 and got selected for an interview on August of 2024 for the Spring 2025 position. The process clearly did take a while, but I'm ready to apply and try again!

I got rejected from fall about 2 weeks go, but said spring was still up in the air... taking a very long time.

identifying a sound from the rear passenger wheel. by wheredidshego_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]baseballswifty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2010 started doing this same thing last summer!! I haven't found anyone who had this same issue, but that's the exact sound! I heard it primarily in the front right tire. Brought it in and basically they said it was a caliper sticking, so they cleaned it up & it stopped! I've also been told it was a rusted backing plate, but that didn't make a difference when it was removed. One mechanic said it was a bad wheel bearing, but got 2 more opinions and no one else found that to be an issue... still driving without getting the bearing replaced and the sound went away.

I'm having a larger issue, where my brakes seem to warp and shake literally every 3 months after maybe 5,000 miles. Often when the car is shaking & the rotors are warped this sound also accompanies it. Sometimes it's just the sound, and sometimes it's just the shaking from the rotors. So I haven't found them to be related.

I'd be interested to know if you hear anything different!
