Definitely not the BNA. I met the guy once. Wild stuff. So shitty.

Seat selection costs are higher on the lowest fare often too. Went through this booking CDG-YYC. Tried all the permutations

You'd still be putting money into an asset (the home) instead of a service (rent).
Add to that the stability and ability to make changes, I think it's still attractive. I say that as someone looking for a home to buy and also actively trying to lower the cost of housing in the future.

Start hoarding them from airlines.

The gate called me while my phone was in security.
Just a real wild series of events.

Anyway. Air Canada staff were awesome and figured out a solution. If all goes well from here I should be home tonight.
Fingers crossed.

It's honestly worse when you get to watch the plane pull away.

Update: After arriving at Newark 1h20m after my scheduled time, dealing with a dude walking across the highway with an ottoman balanced on his head, and my gate being all the way at the back of the airport..
..I missed my flight by like 4 minutes.

The one time I would appreciate a delayed flight, everything appears on time.

Looks like my original train was cancelled. So moving was a good call.

Made it to Wilmington. Acela still stopped at Baltimore. At least there's some decent real-time train information to be had.
My current estimated odds of making it: 10%

Am underway. At this point I'll have to clear security and do the 7 min walk to my gate in like 5-10 minutes.

Mechanical issue again. Kudos to the Amtrak staff. Snuck me off the train and am moving to the NE regional.

We departed Baltimore, moved about 50 feet, and are now stopped.

Will we actually make up 2 minutes in Baltimore? Given our train is now out of sequence, I'm gonna guess we will actually 'lose' time here.

We are cruising at a decent clip (for North America). 200kph.
Conductor seems optimistic we will make up about 20-25 minutes. I don't quite understand the physics or scheduling of that one.
