Air Canada Altitude is the program for frequent fliers, operated within the airline. The highest tier is Super Elite. I’ve never had elite status with Air Canada, but I’ve had it with all of the major US carriers (United, American, Delta, and Alaska). This makes me qualified to compare Air Canada to other US carriers. It’s…
Swiss Award Availability bookable with Aeroplan again!
There are many people annoyed at Aeroplan, not only because Air Canada is splitting up with them. One of the biggest complaints around is that several airlines were not bookable on Aeroplan.

Hyatt Regency Jersey City Review, Empire Suite
Hotels in Manhattan are often very expensive during peak season. The Hyatt Regency Jersey City is actually one of my favourite hotels in the area because of easy access to downtown NYC through PATH.
