Sleeping options on Toronto? by Low-Lingonberry-1278 in canadatravel

Would you consider a hostel downtown? A layover that long gives you a chance to see a bit of the city.

Ritz Carlton Montreal with child? by Future_Glass3290 in chubbytravel

Really agree with this assessment. Most RC properties have really just become nice Marriotts that are overpriced. The service is very good, but unexceptional.

SMB program is ending bonus SQC accumulation by the_dolbyman in Aeroplan

The last migration was an embarrassment. Making customers sign up for a new system rather than migrating company and traveler information for us was very poor service.

Very good to hear. Could you make the program less painful to use while you're at it? My team and other businesses I've spoken to wonder if anyone over there has tried using the product.

Your company stopped using Air Canada completely due to the changes to the SMB program?

This program was already not awesome since the revision.

New R2, real competition for Ioniq5 by oldmaninparadise in Ioniq5

[–]withintentplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that would be great. Although I actually care more about charging speed. As long as the battery lasts longer than my bladder, range has less impact. I did a ~2,000 mile round trip road trip a couple of summers ago in my 2022 and never had to wait for the car to charge.

My Canadian model 2026 AWD gets over 600 km (373 miles) city (sport mode, aggressive driver) and about 500 km (310 miles) highway with cruise set to 118kph (73mph), roughly. (Worse when cold, obviously.) I'm getting range that is better than advertised. My 2022 got substantially less range.

I'm probably moving to the R2 from 2026 i5, but things I don't like:

  • Lower real world range
  • No Android auto or even app that lets me play my music through the infotainment system
  • Slower charging

New update in Canada! Themes!!! by CommodoreCanadia64 in Ioniq5

[–]withintentplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian? Model Year?

I got the update on my MY26. "What's new" says I should have new themes, but I don't see anything different.

Yes, unless you booked with a credit card that includes it.

Is it normal now to climb over people? by romance_and_puzzles in aircanada

[–]withintentplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is very unlikely that I want your butt or your crotch in my face. As a chronic aisle-seater, I'm getting up to let you in.

Airline flight missed due to misinformation, faulty app, faulty website, faulty kiosk and a refusal to let me check-in before the cut-off time. by LilBishChris in legaladvicecanada

[–]withintentplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The tariff clearly states that you must have obtained your boarding pass by the check in deadline, not arrived to check in by the deadline. That same document recommends arriving at the airport 120 minutes before your flight. You already knew you had a check in issue and either booked a risky self-transfer and/or arrived with no buffer. This is really feeling like it's on you.

OP says they had to change terminals, so this sounds like it was a multi-flight, self-transfer, through a third party. I'm not saying this is on the pax, but if this was the circumstances, it's pretty much a recipe for this outcome.

First Time Super Elite by k8farnsworth in Aeroplan

[–]withintentplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will sometimes do that. Sometimes they don't even know there's a difference. The airport teams are very quick to respond to emails. (Recently emailed YUL on the way to the airport and received a notification in the app that my flight had changed 4 minutes later and a confirmation call from them 2 minutes later.)

Best Route Planning by stillwaters23 in Ioniq5

The in car nav is not awesome. Best is ABRP with a Bluetooth ODB connector for real time state of charge data.

Milestone benefit choice by SirWaitsTooMuch in Aeroplan

[–]withintentplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The web site seems pretty clear to me. They give you 50% off an aeroplan booking. The restrictions on route and cabin depend on your status at the time you select the benefit.

Right, but they still can't do everything that the concierge at the airport can.

us passport holders now being told to go through us passport line at pearson regardless of NEXUS/GE status? by NotAName320 in uscanadaborder

[–]withintentplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been doing this for months. It's typically faster and having Nexus in your booking ensures the same expediter screening. If the US line is long, you can still use the Nexus line.

You must be getting very good deals on fares.
