My experience with AC this week:
- Flight from BOG-YUL scheduled for 10:00 takeoff,
- Every hour flight is being delayed by 1hr,
- After a couple of hours, they offer food vouchers to everyone,
- Then they change gate. Head to new gate, plane isn't there,
- Getting impatient, I ask clerk what's going on. Am told there's a screen malfunction and they're fixing it,
- More time passes, the gate is packed, no plane in sight. We're told we'll be shuttled to the plane,
- Bus drives 10min to cargo area, where we wait for another hour or so (in the bus),
- I take this pic, clearly it isn't a screen being repaired,

- We finally board plane, keep waiting to take off as what's now called the 'million dollar part' is being installed,
- People, kids getting restless, one Colombian says something about complaining to AC, which gets translated to 'protest', which flight attendant translates to 'riot',
- Pilot comes to passenger screaming that he'll throw them off. Visibly irritated, I wonder how this guy is going to be cool enough to fly the plane,
- Pilot goes to cockpit, gets on intercom saying we're going to fuel up,
- Plane starts to taxi, gets on runway, stops. It's almost 7pm at this point,
- Pilot says they just got ordered to deplane because they've been working for over 15hrs, police will be waiting to escort us,
- People start freaking out, esp when there are kids with shit-filled diapers screaming and everyone is told to stay seated till business deplanes,
- We're told that the flight is rescheduled to 23:30 the next day, people start howling,
- Get back in airport, people start lining up waiting to get hotel vouchers,

- I just went back to our place for the night, people ended up waiting another 4-5hrs for hotel vouchers.

The next day we get to the airport, AC gives everyone a $750 voucher. I upgrade to business to get some z's.
The whole ordeal was the worst managed I've seen since I've started flying. Completely avoidable and AC ended up losing easily $250k.

T'avais tu une escale à faire? Genre à Miami?
 
Sacrament c'est rendu cher.

NYC c'était déjà cher.. hôtel deux nuits milieu de semaine $715 USD pis c'était dans le moins cher avec deux lits Queen

No wonder tout le monde va dans le sud tout inclus une semaine ça coûte moins cher qu'aller a 5h de route.

Je pensais aller faire un 2-3 jours a Boston. Quand j'ai vu le prix des hôtels je me suis dit no way que je paye ce prix la. Surtout que c'étais pas des très belle hôtels.
En plein millieux de semaine en plus.

Je disais à ma blonde peut être faire Boston pis Mont Washington cet été. Si les prix sont fou de même je vais calmer mes ardeurs.

Aucun bon sens, c'est le temps de faire des staycation pis laisser la récession frapper.

Ouin c'est pas mal dans les prix que je trouvais, même les hotel weird étais pas mal 250usd la nuit. J'ai fait fuck it. Je payerais pas 325$ par nuit pour un ptit trip pas prévu.

Je vais resté ici et profité de chez nous. En espérant que début Juillet soit plus beau que Juin...
Je vais même en profité pour aller au circuit de tremblant faire quelque tout dans la gt4 a mon boss. (Passager :/)

Voilà :

Read this and be prepared. I’ve never seen it this bad.

This was written by a Flight Attendant..........Flying this summer is ROUGH!!! I feel like as a Flight Attendant I should attempt to share some tips to get you through airline travel for the foreseeable future. ✈️✈️
1. Things are not good..... if its less than 7 hours - DRIVE! I'm not kidding. There is nothing enjoyable about flying right now. On any airline. If you must fly, keep reading. ��
2. Download and use the app of the airline you are flying. You can do everything on it - get your boarding pass, track your bags, see your incoming plane, and change a flight. It sure beats waiting in the long line to talk to an agent! Trust me - Usually these apps will tell you a flight is cancelled before the crew even knows! ��
3. Fly MUCH earlier than you need to - a whole day early if its important!! This week I saw many people miss important things like weddings, funerals, cruises, international connections, and graduations. The tears were very real, for very real reasons, and there was nothing I could do! If you have to be somewhere, spend the extra money, go a day early. Have a glass of wine and stay in a hotel, enjoy your night not being stressed while everyone else misses their events. ��
4. ALWAYS fly the first flight in the morning so you have all day to be rebooked if the shit hits the fan. Yes, that means it might be a 3:00 alarm, but morning flights don't cancel nearly as often.⏰
5. This is not unique to this year, but keep in mind summer is thunderstorm season. A single storm can shut down a whole airport. We can't fly through them. Storms usually build as the day gets later. Book early flights! ⛈
6. Schedule long layovers - Your 1 hour layover is NOT enough anymore. 30 minutes, not a chance. 3 hours minimum. ��*♀️����*♂️
7. What you see on the news is an understatement. We are short staffed and overworked. Not just pilots and flight attendants, but also ground crews. Without ground crews there is no one to park the planes, drive jetways, get your bags on/off planes, or scan boarding passes. This causes many delays that snowball throughout the day. Sometimes HOURS.(Another reason morning flights are best!) ��
8. When flight crews get delayed we time out. We can NOT fly longer than 16 hours. Its illegal. So it doesn't matter if you have a wedding to get to, when we are done we are done. The way things are now, there are no back up crews, so when this happens your flight cancels. (Now you are starting to see why those morning flights are best!) ��
9. Avoid connecting in Newark (Or any New York airport for that matter). It is literal hell. You have a 50/50 chance your flight will cancel or missing your connection. They have been cancelling flights at their starting points just to keep the planes out, because there just aren't enough people to manage the planes, so the gates stay full. Also the restaurants are expensive, it is not a great place to be stuck. ��
10. Be nice. As stated above, we are overworked and tired. We will not help you if you are mean. No one cares that you are going to miss your cruise if you are an asshole. So even if we can help, we will save our help for someone nice. Tensions are high. Our patience is gone. If you make us mad - you will not be flying on our planes. We will leave you behind without a second thought, and laugh about you later. ��
11. Being drunk on an airplane is a federal offense, so don't overdo it. If you drink too much at the bar waiting for your delayed flight you risk not being allowed to fly at all. We are too tired to deal with your drunk ass when we have legitimate issues to deal with. ��
12. Get trip insurance if you have a lot of money invested. I hate the whole idea of this, but I also hate the idea of losing money. Example: I was working a flight yesterday that waited over an hour for a gate. A family of 8 missed their flight to Rome. The only flight of the day. They were going to a cruise which they would now miss. They were all crying, there was nothing I could do. (Also a reason to fly a day early!) ��
13. Flights are FULL. If you buy the cheap seats you will not be able to sit with your family. It says so when you purchase your ticket!! Flight Attendants aren't there to rearrange the whole plane just so you can sit with your family because you tried to save $100 on a third party website. ��
14. Speaking of third party websites and saving money..... Like I said flights are FULL. If a flight is oversold, and no one volunteers to give up their seats, who do you think is the first to be bumped? You guessed it, the family that saved a few $$ by using sites like Expedia, Kayak, Hotwire etc. ��*♀️
15. Pack smart. Don't be "That guy" Don't hold up boarding because you have your extenders open till they are busting and you can't figure out how to make it fit in the overhead. (Passengers are stressed too, they can be aggressive when boarding a delayed flight) ��
16. Take showers, brush your teeth, leave the perfume off, don't eat stinky food (caesar salad and tuna fish I'm talking to you!), and bring headphones. Trust me. These things sound basic, but add to stress on crowded planes. If you are stuck on the tarmac for 3 hours after a 4 hour flight, you will thank me for this. ��
17. Bring a sweater if you tend to be cold. So tired of half naked girls asking me to turn the heat up. NO. Wear clothes!! Side note: If you dress like this and ask for heat, there's a chance I will turn the AC up. ��
18. Thats not water on the bathroom floor. For the love of God wear shoes to the bathroom!!! ��
19. Don't tell a Flight Attendant they look tired. We are and we know. You may cause us to ugly cry right there in galley. ��
20. Happy Travels!

La dernière fois que je suis allé à New York, j'ai dormis au Carter Hotel. C'était collé sur Time Square mais c'était un des pires trous que j'ai jamais vu. Par contre c'était vraiment pas cher.
