This is what it was like to try and fly home to Toronto during the huge snowstorm Toronto
. I was supposed to be on one of those flights, and let's just say things didn't work out too well for me.
But this time would take the cake and officially put the country's largest airline in the top spot on my personal no-fly list. Roughly ten hours after the flight cancellation, Air Canada notified me by email that"we're sorry as one or more of your flights has been cancelled and unfortunately we have been unable to automatically rebook you."
Sure, they were a tier above the seating I had purchased for my cancelled flight, but instead of offering an upgrade or the option to even pay for one, Air Canada maintained radio silence, forcing me to purchase seats at twice the price originally paid with little communication. All the while, seats remained available for airline passengers willing to pay extra for premium economy instead of accommodating those left in the lurch by the cancellation.
The airport was right across the street from my pyramid-shaped accommodations, but it felt like an entire world away after a day and a half of confusion.
