The longest YYZ-LGA ever!

I had the longest flight (flying time) from YYZ to LGA ever!!

Was suppose to be on the AC 718 Today leaving at 1600h... However, the flight was cancelled due to weather in NYC. What annoyed the heck out of me was that no one at the Maple Leaf Lounge informed me of the cancellation.. I found out the hard way by going to the gate... and was told it was cancelled.

Anyways, was rebooked on fligh 720 leaving at 1700h... The flight was delayed by about half an hour... They upgraded the plane to an A321 (former CP plane)... The seats were CP Blue

Anyways, finally took off and half an hour to LGA, the pilot anounced that due to flight congestion at LGA, we would be on a holding position until 1900... Well, 1900 came and went and we were told we would be flying in circles until 2000...

Guess what... 20:00 came and went, and the pilot came back on again to announce that if we did not get clearance from Tracffic Control by 2015h, then we would land in EWR..

Finally we got clearance from ATC, and landed at 20:30...

YYZ-LGA took 3:30 hours flying time!! When I add my time at the airport for my earlier flight, total time was 6:30 hours!

Long day.and will be a long night... wating for my next flight JFK-HKG.. apparently that one is delayed 3 hours
