(BOO A.L.!) RyanAir had the last flight out before the airport shut down, and they jacked their prices from 68EU (or so) to 200EU+ for a one way ticket to Sotherby, UK....the only flight out of Ireland for nearly a week that could get me remotely home. 400EU+, a bus, a subway, and another plane....I got home to the US.Therapeutic Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781452874259470378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-23376679928426657352007-12-20T11:31:00.000-08:002007-12-20T11:31:00.000-08:00There are few companies I hate more than Air Canad...There are few companies I hate more than Air Canada (Telus is one of them, but I honestly can't comment further on them without having a seizure due to my pent up rage). However, last year the same thing happened to me (with Air Canada) AND they paid for my cab AND gave me a meal allowance (we caught the new flight in the morning). It sucks you didn't get similar treatment! With that said, I will always do Westjet over Air Canada. The airline attendants always tell better jokes.brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353594558144154909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-81081944497268798202007-12-20T11:27:00.000-08:002007-12-20T11:27:00.000-08:00WOOF. this blows! i'm so sorry. and you're absolut...WOOF. this blows! i'm so sorry. and you're absolutely right - while flight delays can't be helped, the manner in which passengers are treated or informed can be. <BR/><BR/>you may have joked about the voodoo doll. but can you make one, please? and take pictures and post them? i'm already laughing.<BR/><BR/>(ps for some reason, this made me burst outloud in laughter: A woman with a cowboy hat starts laughing hysterically and shouts to her friend "Your turn to pay for the hotel tonight!")Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-84541273891504177192007-12-20T10:35:00.000-08:002007-12-20T10:35:00.000-08:00Sorry that Air Canada sucks so bad - I hope you ha...Sorry that Air Canada sucks so bad - I hope you have a wonderful trip when you get there!<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-49257689422510440222007-12-20T10:24:00.000-08:002007-12-20T10:24:00.000-08:00that is ridiculous! i hope you are able to get hom...that is ridiculous! i hope you are able to get home the second time around. fingers crossed darlin.Michelle and the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376890270664282390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-76964308299373074642007-12-20T09:03:00.000-08:002007-12-20T09:03:00.000-08:00That's why I hate aireports! the people, the crazy...That's why I hate aireports! the people, the crazyness, ugh.<BR/><BR/>I hope you finally are able to get home tomorrow with no problems or delay. :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467070028688210481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-55154865475826471472007-12-20T08:16:00.000-08:002007-12-20T08:16:00.000-08:00Air Canada Voodoo Dolls....if you could sell them,...Air Canada Voodoo Dolls....if you could sell them, you'd make MILLIONS!!<BR/><BR/>Ashley: Spirit Airs is HORRID.

Please and thank you didn't register in any of their orders to people in line. I got shit from one guy when I asked to have R and I sit together. Clearly, these people hate their jobs. I probably would too...but that's why I'm not working for Air Canada.<BR/><BR/>As R and I were walking on the plane, I said to R, "haven't we learned our lesson - why are we flying with Air Canada". Unfortunately a lack of competition has lead to high ticket prices and poor customer service. WestJet was more than $100 more each way, so we were forced to suck it up.<BR/><BR/>I hope you're able to get to your parents' house with less drama tomorrow.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160883537054763513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7246838997491107294.post-67961741426112294922007-12-19T20:04:00.000-08:002007-12-19T20:04:00.000-08:00How obnoxious!
