PS:
I love you Canada.
But I don’t feel the same way about your airlines.

I ended the day in a warm room and a comfy bed with a laptop in my lap. So, success? 😆😀

Wake up.
Nothing from first airline.
Incomplete reservation.
So I call again.
And hold.
And pack.
And go back to airport.
Still on hold.
Time to call it.
Check in for my backup.
Drop off bag.
Security.
Coffee.
Exit row to myself.
It’s time to fly.

Get to NY.
First airline says call us.
So I do.
And hold.
And hold.
Hours.
I book a new ticket.
Fully refundable.
I have a safety net.
Relief.
Fall sleep before I get off hold.

Have a boarding pass to NY.
No boarding pass onward.
One airline says you’re good.
Trust us.
The other, we don’t know.
Board flight to NY.
Maybe this will straighten out.
Doubt it.
Convinced I’ll be buying a ticket for the next leg.
We’ll see.
How’s your day?

Seriously cool clouds on take off after that, however

I don’t think most people on the flight noticed, or if they did, they probably just wondered why we took that one turn fast and loud. But I did notice, dear reader. I did.

Extra spice on the day was on the third flight of the day. The plane oversteered while turning onto the runway and throttling up. The pilot managed to parlay that into cutting the engines and taking a well placed ramp back out to the taxiway and going back around for another go.

Also, NGL, glad it was in Canada today.

Far from being nervous, I’m always glad when that happens. Totally happy for a pilot to abort than fly a possibly compromised approach, and doubly so today.
Also, full thrust with light fuel load rocks.

I’ll have to upgrade substances before that happens.

Gotta focus on what you can actually affect. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
