I have a sold-out concert tomorrow at 3:00 pm so that was NOT a good option. Therefore I started looking for alternatives. There were none. All flights to YYZ zero'ed out. Finally we were able to get two Y seats direct to YYZ on the last flight, at 7:30 pm. Oh well.
Jus a small piece of advice I used last week. Wait till a day before and AC will usually declare free change fees ahead of any weather an you could have switched to direct YYC-YYZ at that point.

I used this on my pass last week getting back to YEG so I didn't have to connect through YOW from YYZ. May as well take advantage of weather delays when we can.
