Random Whys From The Weekend

Why did you produce this ad Coors? Should have come with a manual.




Why do you have to stand in line with your friend when you aren't buying anything?

Why is it I have yet to hear someone say they are engaging with a product on social media?

Why can't other airlines be like Air Canada and lose my luggage not once but twice on the same trip?

Why can't Air Canada just grow up and be like Westjet?

Why does Kia use hamsters in their ads?

Why do companies buy facebook likes?

Why is American Idol still on the air?

Why Premier Sellinger are you allowing the Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation to pay the outgoing CEO $180 an hour as a consultant after you gave her a 6 figure compensation package to retire?

Aeroplan and Air Canada, A Match Made In The Skies

A couple of days ago I posted about trying to redeem my Aeroplan points with Air Canada.

It would have cost me about $130 more for the flight using my points than buying a ticket outright with Westjet.

For shits and giggles I thought I would check and see what a paid ticket with Air Canada is.

You don't have to adjust your computers for this.

One hundred dollars less with the same airline to book a cash ticket.

Air Canada, still not happy until you are unhappy.

The Reason I Am Done With Aeroplan



We collected Aeroplan miles for a long time.  That was the easy part. 

Booking them for flights; a nightmare.  

Always jumping through hopes to accommodate them.

But this takes the cake.

On the left I am trying to use up the last of our miles.

To reach my destination, I am short 17,762 miles.

Topping them up, my cost with taxes is $613.31.

On the right Westjet.

Buying a ticket outright, $481.16!

Aeroplan (Air Canada)'s motto continues to shine.

"We aren't happy until you are completely unhappy".

Are You Losing Business To Online

Over the lunch hour I wandered through the mall next door.

I stopped into the travel agency to ask, "What size am I allowed as a carry on".

"No idea", replied the travel agent. "Depends on the airline".

Fair enough I thought, even though we only have two airlines in Canada in Westjet and Air Canada.

When I asked about Westjet, I got the same response.  "Don't know".

Instead of letting her watch my eye twitch and face contort and want to scream, "how in the world would you not know this", I walked out and muttered under my breath: No wonder people are booking on line!
