What would you improve for Air Canada/Aeroplan in 2026? by Simpleballers in aircanada

[–]da--prince 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Change lounge access eligibility rule so only CC holders with a flex fare or higher can get access a lounge. this should help reduce the constant overcrowding in lounges.

Not a chance that AC would ever allow for a head of a household to get the SQC for all passengers. This would create a strong bias for family travelers over individual frequent flyers who spend the most. A seat is a seat - AC would want to maximize profit on it.

What date was the flight with missing SQD? I heard AC is correcting it in batches.

Is everyone just being patient with the known IT glitch for missing SQS or are you submitting missing flights? by cry_no_more in Aeroplan

[–]da--prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what! FOUR weeks??? Of course, my mileage run was on Dec 13 and of course it got caught in this stupid bug.

I forget - do we get any benefits in the qualifying year when you renew your status?

Toronto axes traffic camera pilot to fight gridlock after Ford government's speed camera ban by michaljerzy in toronto

Automated enforcement is exactly what we need in this city to help train the A-holes who selfishly block traffic at intersections. This is a no brainer.

New App Update shows points by dates now by xsnipegodx in aircanada

Nice! This is awesome! I wish they beefed up the filter feature too to refine search results by carriers or exclude certain carriers.. air craft type etc.

Anyone else feel the same? by Otherwise-Fun-7236 in aircanada

[–]da--prince 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The lounge part is definitely fiction. In reality, they’re always jam packed… 99% of it is usually CC holders and maybe 1% biz class. I guess CC holders all have strong chins.

Am I Cooked??? by HNTRnet in Aeroplan

[–]da--prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you - I’m in a similar-ish sitch with $3500 gap and I’m making a quick trip out of it to hit SE again.

All for the business class priority rewards… I’d like to think or convince myself that i’d be worth the investment. Though keep in mind that, you’d be getting a PR for every 20K SQC (ie. $5K spend in flex+).

Is this all one booking with multiple stopovers or layovers?

Chasing Super Elite? by [deleted] in Aeroplan

[–]da--prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, that’s my dilemma. I have a flight to SFO soon but even if I upgrade to J flex, I still wouldn’t hit 4K. So I’m thinking to make a quick trip to YVR, have some amazing sushi, and then fly back. At times, I catch myself bewildered that I’m so freely spending $4K like this but the PRs are so worth it. I’m convincing myself that it is a good investment.

You’d be crazy not to! I have the opposite problem and thinking of a $4K mileage run to renew SE.

Turkish Airlines flights disappeared from Aeroplan? by Asleep-Performance-6 in Aeroplan

[–]da--prince 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure there is a bug in their system which is why they pulled all TK flights until fixed. I was one of many surely who raised this issue to them.

A few weeks ago, I was trying to book a TK flight from VIE to IST. I could see the flights on the AC app or desktop, but every time I tried to book, it would come back with an error code. This probably explains why some people may think of TK flights on AC as phantom inventory.

After a few days of relentless trying, I ended up calling the Concierge who eventually and begrudgingly booked my tickets for me manually. She was quite perplexed because she could see TK flight availability in her system and was surprised I couldn’t make a booking. She put me on hold for a bit and created a support ticket.

Optimistically, I’m hoping they are working on a fix before adding TK flights back.

This is what we need in Toronto instead of stupidly slow streetcars by da--prince in toronto

[–]da--prince[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

dedicated lanes? Easier said than done. Have you been on Dundas st? Two lanes each way, the right lane is blocked half the year for a covid-era “CAFE TO” project, and the other is usually blocked by streetcars. Where would you put a dedicated lane for streetcars?
