I can't believe people are booking flights already! I am soooo not at that stage yet. Besides, hoping to have enough points to fly to Vancouver so still working on that (although Christmas helped a lot ).
Yes, Jumble, you'll need money for important things like autographs with MW and photos with MW!
Btw EH-T, I think where you quoted me is stretching the page

Hotel and spending money is after the flights....though I'll have my camping gear with me. Do you reckon they allow camping in Stanley park? That'd mean more spending money!

How much money do you have? I don't think they limit these things although I don't know for sure. The only con I've been to where you paid extra for pictures was the Creation event last April and I only bought one photo with AT and MS.
Hmmmm .... not on my computer.

BTW, I just checked and I do have enough points for Vancouver already. The flight I was checking would get me in Friday afternoon. Other than registration, do we know if anything is planned for the Friday? Is the Meet and Greet Friday night? Or will this be like the Creation con I was at and some guests will be on Friday?

Originally posted by EH-T View PostAir Canada has a program called Aeroplan. You collect points for flights on Air Canada and their partner airlines. You can also collect points through affliated companies such as hotels, car rental agencies and a credit card. Once you collect enough points, you get a "free" flight. Not entirely free as you still have to pay taxes, airport improvement fees and fuel surcharges. The number of points you need depends on how far you are flying.

Sarai and I will be arriving on the Wednesday evening so we'll have a day to get over the jet-lag and wander around a bit before SE actually starts

And to hopefully hang out a bit with peeps
We land at 18.35. Anyone know what's the best way to get from there to the Sheraton? Do they have a shuttle service, or are we looking at taxi fares?

Or snoring in a corner because my body clock thinks it's bedtime
I think the Sheraton has a shuttle. Last time I used the airporter bus, but I don't think that runs any more. Public transport is good and there is a train link from the airport to down town now that'll probably get you close and be a reasonable price. I love Vangroovys public transport.

Not sure when I'll be getting in. Since I'll be on a whole other continent, I'm still plotting out that stage of my trip yet.
I have reservations at the Wall Centre too, but not sure if I'll even stay there for the duration. Along with the flight, my bro is able to set me with a room at the Hilton which I may choose instead. I loved staying in the Sheraton as it was the epicenter of all the fun, but a short walk for a free room is hard to pass up. Especially with all the fun I plan on having in New Zealand and Vancouver later on as well.
