The Toronto Surprise

Was off to a merry start this morning (Waking up at 4am to catch the Ottawa-Toronto flight at 6). Got to Toronto, and I didn't have a seat assigned for the following Toronto-Vancouver flight; As it turns out, Air Canada likes to overbook. Out of the 250ish people in that plane, I was one of only three turned away. Nevermind that I booked back in February.

The flight couldn't even be rebooked for today, so now I have a surprise day-long layover in Toronto. There is a compensation package, though: Free hotel, three meals, and a 500$ travel voucher valid for one year.

Not bad - but it still sucks; I'd rather be there on time.

C'est la vie.
