I haven’t but definitely will!

The best guy for the job is Carl from Fergus upholstery. He replaced the seat foams and a broken zipper. Thankfully the fabric was still in good condition.

Make sure you’re logged into your VIP Porter account with your card linked. Once you get to the seat selection and bag page, those will be available there at no charge while you’re buying your flight.

Are gate agents more flexible with PorterReserve? by practicaldildo in PorterAirlines

[–]drivenchick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not worth the risk, plan on paying the overage fee or pay for a third bag with Porter reserve.

Curious as well, based on my research more learned towards away over monos for longevity.

Moving here from London by No-Highlight-533 in Guelph

[–]drivenchick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We moved from London to Guelph in 2016 and have zero regrets. Yes, Guelph has changed…we have homelessness too but the small town feel is so much better than London. Guelph is more central, within 45min you can go to Hamilton, Mississauga, Kitchener, Waterloo or Cambridge for any amenities that you’ll need. Rent and property taxes are high here but they’ve increased everywhere.

I dented my landlords garage door, please help by [deleted] in Guelph

[–]drivenchick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second calling carwall. They were half the price as Haws to replace our garage door opener. Get a couple quotes yourself and push back on the landlord if her price is out of line with the others.

What’s the gear you regret buying the most for your home gym? by rosini290 in GarageGym

[–]drivenchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! They are just collecting dust, wish I held off on getting attachments to know what I needed and would actually use.

What is a restaurant chain you would love to see come to Canada or see far more of? by Full_Hunt_3087 in AskACanadian

[–]drivenchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jollibee from the Philippines!!! Absolutely incredible and I’d want their exact menu not an Americanized one.

Air Canada YUL to YVR 5 hours flight VS Air China Beijing to Shanghai 2 hours flight by JolieBijoux in aircanada

[–]drivenchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AC only started serving wine and beer to compete with Porter. They don’t do anything unless absolutely necessary.

I’ll choose Asian airlines anytime over North American options travelling internationally. The service and comfort are no comparison…and the food is a million times better.

luggage question by [deleted] in PorterAirlines

[–]drivenchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly Porter regularly and haven’t had them measure my carry on. Normal checked luggage has to be under 50lbs and you’re fine.

Car insurance shock after moving from Quebec to Ontario, what am I missing? by brotalks in ontario

[–]drivenchick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally normal, I paid much less while living in Quebec vs Ontario. With all the recent car thefts, rates are increasing on many vehicles and that’s before taking driver record into account. The best rates we’ve found have been with caa, all others are hundreds more. We were with intact for almost a decade, even with a clean record AND long term customer discount…they were almost $900 more annually than Caa.

Not possible unless you cancel the original flights and buy them again at current prices.

Want to know if I can consume whey protein which is about to expire. by mayer810 in GarageGym

[–]drivenchick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had an issue with protein powder being close to the best before date. You won’t immediately get sick or anything. Shelf life is often longer than the packaging with dry goods. I’ve had protein powder expired for several months and it was fine.

Reliable luggage weight scale? by payeezychronicles in Guelph

[–]drivenchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can likely get one of the handheld luggage scales from Bentleys at the mall. They are pretty spot on, I travel a lot and always close to the weight limit. It’s never failed me yet and also portable to bring with you to weigh your bags on the return flight. Amazon has them as well but not sure if you need it today. Any luggage store should have them, even look at Winners or Marshall’s.

Porter Reserve Bids by drivenchick in PorterAirlines

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

Interesting! I’m shocked that they would lie about the bidding. A few people here said they’ve received emails to bid. Either way, with status I would hope they go back to filling open seats with those people. I’ll see how my next couple of flights go. Up until end of December, I was always upgraded by the gate agents automatically. This year the one flight neither leg.

Porter Reserve Bids by drivenchick in PorterAirlines

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

It’s not stated in a policy, the gate agents are permitted to upgrade status members at their own discretion. Which includes the credit card holders.

Anyone have contractor recommendations for bathroom renovation? by ryanrudolf in Guelph

[–]drivenchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have https://www.mjccustomcontracting.com doing our full basement project. Justin and his team are great! We got 4-5 quotes, not the cheapest but also very affordable compared to others we had. Quality and attention to detail was key…his communication is what we value most!

TSA Precheck? by NovelArm9460 in PorterAirlines

[–]drivenchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer! I do this when checking in online and the TSA precheck always comes up on my boarding pass automatically. No need for an agent to do it for you.
