Hey everyone. I’m having difficulty with this one. I’ve booked many trips with Aeroplan business class in reasonable amounts (ex: 75k pp to Tokyo, emirates from Dubai to Casablanca, Korea, etc.) always under 80k pp. typically I book about a year out. It’s been at least a year I keep looking and I cannot find ANYTHING remotely close to those prices for much of Asia. I’m looking to visit either Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, or China, etc. not tied down to a specific country. I check several different airports, different dates and they’re always like minimum 200k pp with mixed cabin.

I fly out of Toronto. We’re 2 adults.

My question is: which routes typically are lower amounts? I’m fine to fly somewhere that’s cheaper in points and then take a short flight to the destination/s I want to go to. Ideally I’d like something under 100k pp business class.

Also, has anyone found any recently that are on the cheaper end?? It seems impossible :/

I’m also fine with stopover routes if there’s any you’ve found that make it cheaper. TIA

Hey everyone. My daughter’s first birthday is approaching and we’ll be having a large party. To avoid an influx of toys, I’m trying to put together a birthday wishlist for family / friends. Other than clothes, what did you find useful for your baby that they could use from 1 year old + (so 1-2 yrs is fine)?

So far I have on the list : learning tower, blocks, water table, sandbox, potty training stuff, activity table, pikler triangle, blocks, busy books, 360 sippy cup, Montessori play sets, baby kitchen utensils, 4in1 tricycle, fold out couch, tickets to the aquarium, zoo and the butterfly conservatory.

We are located in Halton region in Ontario and I’d really love more “experiences” to include. I don’t mind a bit of a drive if it’s something great.

What are some things you found helpful at this age or fun to take baby to? TIA
