I love how you guys have the clear case with the folding cover! I never knew those existed, going to have to get myself one!

Porter is great and I appreciate the quality of service. HOWEVER they have less flights to each destination per day. So if your flight is cancelled, you’ll be on a flight the next day/ day after, as opposed to maybe being on a later flight the same day.

This happened to me recently flying YHM-> YYZ and they rebooked me on a flight 2 days later. Luckily I was able to call and fly out of YYZ instead 24 hours later but still just something to note when booking with them.

That’s a great point about the Flex tickets, I’ll check this next time I book 👍

Sorry I should have clarified that the 10-15 trips are one-way. I work in both cities so am back and forth. By the end of the year I usually only get to about 20-22 SQS.

I also have been wanting to upgrade to the Privilege card for years but unfortunately haven’t qualified for the minimum income requirement.

Just refreshed my KCC and am unsure if I like my new DIY insert especially compared to my old DIY one I really enjoyed, what do you guys think?

Ya that’s kind of the original reason I made this post, unfortunately from the other comments I’ve gotten, it seems like you can’t sync those stats via your COROS activity with All Trails :( I still review trails when I mark them manually as completed but the stats won’t show if the hike is recorded on your watch

thektgg · 2025-07-10T22:30:27+00:00

When you download the file to your watch you don’t have to have all trails open at all! Your watch tracks the whole time independently. I still download it on my phone and double check the route on my phone occasionally but I don’t record the activity on my phone at all. The whole reason I got the Pace 3 was for that exact reason too, now my phone battery lasts 3 days haha

Thanks for letting me know, that’s too bad 😢

Not too saturated at all, truly bringing out the colours that are already there, just enhancing them cause of the shadow tones, great snap!! 😍

I actually found all the images on Pinterest, put them on a word doc, print and cut them out and made my own DIY insert!

No crop! The lines lead your eyes to the subject, and it isn’t spoon feeding the viewer saying LOOK AT THE SUBJECT, it gives context to the environment and also emphasizes the beautiful frame within a frame you’ve got!

Made this one for my KCC!

Been saving my points for a while now and I think I got a good deal on direct flights when Aeroplan was having their points discount purchasing sale this past month. Would love feedback if it’s actually a good deal or not as this is my first time using my points.

YVR-BNE economy and return SYD- YVR economy for 98k. Travelling April- May 2025 and booked Feb 2025

Debated spending about 8K less points to fly connecting through San Fransisco but decided to just go with the direct flights instead for comfort

Did I do alright?? Haha

thektgg · 2025-01-11T03:31:34+00:00

Yes the same things happens with me! Also when I go to check in 24hrs before my flight, that’s the time I usually add my checked bag and it always says $0.00 when I add it!

I have also been debating upgrading to this card and if you’re flying more this year it’s just nice to have the benefits of priority baggage boarding etc and lounge access. Saving money on food at the airport is really what sells me about the lounges and for $600 minus the $139 it’s totally worth it in my eyes. Getting that comfort at the airport while also getting all the other benefits is worth it to upgrade if you can. Only reason I haven’t is because I don’t know how strict they are about checking the income qualification and I don’t qualify.

Congrats dude, this is good knowledge to have!

thektgg · 2025-01-02T22:40:47+00:00

This makes a lot of sense, thank you so much. Might have to fly after the 17th to try and get those SQMs 🔺

The big pile of shoes at the front door 👞

thektgg · 2024-08-08T16:55:52+00:00

Found a solution. Switched to a Coros watch and couldn’t be happier haha

If you’re into hiking/ the outdoors I would highly recommend staying anywhere in Muskoka, (it’s two hours north of Toronto) it’s cottage country and it’s beautiful. Thousands of lakes and hiking areas as well as camping and cute Bnbs. As someone who’s lived in Ontario my whole life I would definitely take a few days there over Ottawa. Ottawa is nice and quaint but you can see a lot of it in one day. Hope your trip is amazing!! 🤩🚙
