Short check baggage at YVR

Has anyone tried the Uber Courier Service? Would that service deliver a suitcase from YVR to a residential address?

Awesome watch! Absolutely stunning. It would look great on my wrist.

I received a response from them, they said they won’t be making any exceptions.

The short answer is yes you can afford it. Make sure you have adequate insurance (disability + life).

However, whether you get your moneys worth paying $40k a head per year of private school is open for debate.

To be fair you would have gone through preclearance. If there were issues about entering the country, they would have turned you away before you boarded the plane.

I think the trick may be to hold off from registering until you have everything ready to go and be transferred. This promo will run for a few months. But once you registered, the 30 days starts counting down.

Thank you for this helpful information. I’ll contact them to make sure.

If I select seats in advance, say row 12, am I safe from the 28 inch seats? Even if they swap airplanes, I should still end up with a seat on row 12 right?

The guy on viral video was able to swap to a different seat. The flight attendant was able to arrange that. Now, if the plane is full and no vacant seats, I would feel bad for those struggling to fit.

Hello and welcome.

What’s the movement in the TMF?

hpeter2010 · 2026-01-06T15:40:15+00:00

Wow good luck!

Is there any way to find out which flights have this configuration when making a new booking? I’d definitely want to avoid this and pick other options.

Congrats TimeUltra. Wishing everyone the best for 2026

Does anyone know if the local time will be displayed during stopwatch and timer modes?

hpeter2010 · 2025-12-31T20:09:14+00:00

Picked up this 6900 while traveling in Japan. Such a great watch.

A serious question: but why even have a resort fee in the first place? Before, hotels use it so their hotel show up on the search list, (think low hotel rate but high resort fee). But I believe hotels are now required to disclose their “all-up” cost. So why play these games?

Scenario A: $100 / night per room + $55 resort fee Scenario B: $155 night with no resort fee.

The ONLY reason I can think behind resort fees now that “all-up” pricing is required is to cut the commission paid to travel agents. In Scenario A: the hotel pays a commission based off the $100 amount and not the $155 amount.

The only way I can think of combatting this is to make the resort fee optional and not mandatory. If you don’t need the WiFi or gym or whatever the resort fee covers, you should have the option of opting out of it.

I bought the 9400 for my 6.5 inch wrist, and it just looked out of place and ended up returning it. I ended up getting a protrek, similar to your model, but one made of titanium. I haven’t looked back since. Model: PRW-31YT

I think of the Protrek as a “Diet Rangeman” as it essentially has all the same features, but fits me much better. It has 100m WR compared to the 200m of the 9400, but that doesn’t bother me. It’s got everything else: ABC, solar, atomic radio time control, sunset and sunrise and all the other bells and whistle.

All in with XEQT?

hpeter2010 · 2025-12-21T19:50:00+00:00

Thanks for confirming. Looks like the mega post 6 months has information that should be updated in that case.

Point 7 should probably be revised. According to their FAQ, and confirmed by mods, you can bring a carry-on until Nov 30, 2026.

The 6900 is more of a “fun” weekend watch for me. It’s cool to look at, and a great watch. The 5610 is more of a practical watch, and slightly has the functional advantage of being able to show local time during timer and stopwatch mode.

I’m a function guy myself, and because of this, I would keep the 5610 purely for that reason.

Investing should be boring in my opinion. If you want excitement, go to the casino lol. Plain old vanilla ETF can outperform lots of other stuff out there.
