Insane, talk to agents at club, best they can do otherwise its Thursday to get the YYZ. Won't even consider putting me on Air Canada. Geez.
Ok, get to BOS. Talk to agent as I have a text waiting for me, says speak to rep. Rep says all is good. Plane already here, so you good to go at 5:35. Spend all night in Airport (had work to do). comes 3:30am - text from UA BOS-ORD now cancelled for MX!. Rerouted again BOS->IAD->YYZ. IAD Flight is at 9:xx, but as I'm sitting in terminal notice that flight right in front of me is BOS->IAD at 5:35. Jump on phone, talk to agent, get re-booked onto that flight. So now I'm at IAD.
IAD->YYZ is oversold. So I take a bump ($500) and now on 17:00 to YYZ. Looks like that is going to finally go. But want a crazy routing.
What really got me is why MX at 03:30 when plane was already at BOS at 23:30?
Crazy days.
But I still got in a full day of work and a TC out of it.
You actually sound happy here---I know you got extra PQM/RDM and a voucher, but, If I had spent all night in the airport in BOS, and endured the routing you're going through, I would be far more cranky!
You must be young.
