Likewise. We were on the last YVR-SFO flight of the day. The YVR-Vegas flight was already badly delayed because of a mechanical problem. They took our plane and sent it to Vegas. We had to wait for a plane arriving even later and ended up at SFO at 1 am.
Many years ago when they still flew YYC-ORD, our plane went mechanical. They took the plane supposed to do ORD-YYZ and put it on the YYC route. Being easier to deal with pax going to YYZ from ORD.
