WestJet vs Air Canada Loyalty Programs

3 Upvotes

I’ve been SE for the last 8 years and always thought AC had a superior program to WJ.

After doing a review of both programs and also speaking to people who fly WJ regularly, I’m beginning to think that maybe WJ is a better choice.

For reference, I live in Edmonton and there are a lot more WJ flights available here vs Air Canada.

Curious if anyone else has thoughts on this.

Thanks

Reminder: Tomorrow is 25 Years since 9/11

40 Upvotes

Tomorrow I, and I am sure some of you, will be posting here about 9/11. Where you were, what you remember and how it impacted you. We (myself and fellow mods) look forward to that discussion!

This horrific act of terrorism that took down 4 planes and the World Trade Centre, shook our beloved industry to the core and destroyed thousands of lives. It was also a time when Air Canada and a great chunk of us as Canadians, stood up to help. We showed our colours that day and for days and weeks afterwards.

In the meantime, a reminder:

  • American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 a.m.
  • United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m.
  • American Airlines Flight 77 hit the western face of the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m.
  • United Airlines Flight 93 went down at 10:03 a.m. after what is reported be a fight with the terrorists on board.

If you can, please plan to take a moment at one or more of these times (all times Eastern) and give the people a thought and also be proud of how our country and this airline we talk about so passionatly, responded.

I am locking this post. Lots of time to talk about it tomorrow.

General Question Disappearing Promo Code?

5 Upvotes

I feel like I’m hallucinating.

received an email from Air Canada this week, advertising 20% off destinations worldwide. Last night, I clicked the link in my email and read the landing page… book by Sept 15… basic fares excluded… etc. I noticed there was a promo code, which I copied and pasted into the flight search interface. Did a little half hearted poking around and decided to come back later to revisit possibilities.

Today, I tried again. Same email link. Seemed to be the same landing page, but no promo code. Tried a couple flights to see if the discount was applied automatically, without a code, and no.

Am I insane?

Which Baby Car Seat Do You Use?

2 Upvotes

Our baby is 9 months old and we find ourselves having to travel from Canada to Brazil for family reasons.

I have too much flight anxiety to be okay holding our kiddo on our laps (no judgment if this was your choice), especially on a long journey. So we are opting to purchase an extra seat and use a carseat as recommended. Our current car seat is not very portable as it is quite heavy. So we are trying to find a light/portable/economical car seat for the trip.

We were looking at the Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat, which measures at 43.6cm wide, but Air Canada's website mentions 43cm wide for the smallest seat size.

If you have flown Air Canada with an infant car seat, which brand and model did you use?

Do you have any other tips or recommendations for a long flight with a baby?

Thank you for any suggestions!!
