Recently work booked me MCY-SYD-YVR-YUL-YDF ... in economy ... same route back with an extra stop in montreal ... groan. Is it wrong to say no to the permanent job they offered just for putting me through that?

Been playing around on google flights and findings flights good for my dates around 5.3k but there's a gotcha - a lot of them have the first leg to Asia in Y! Heck no. So buyer beware there - not seen that before.

Hmm but can we get Qsuites ....

I did indeed, infact I lost count at 8984 the first time and had to start again! That was another plus to mention, standard checkout time is midday! So plenty of time for counting.

The race is on! I've applied, been accepted, apparently my card is on the way. I need someone to intercept it for me (I'm overseas), spend the 4k (easy enough to do with bills piling up), FINALLY managed to get an Air Canada number (took 4 browsers over 3 different devices before I found one...
