Hi,

I’m wondering if someone can answer my question as I can’t find any information online about it.

So my flight from Calgary to Toronto this morning got delayed due to a issue with the fuel gauge on the aircraft, because of this Air Canada decided to move my connnecting flight to Halifax to a later flight without even asking me if I was ok with it first, We make up some lost time on our way to Toronto and was able to get to the gate in Toronto before the gate had closed for my flight to Halifax.

I was told at the gate both my and my wife seats had been given away to someone else and we not could board the flight due to it being full.

We was told even if the flight was not full we would not be able to broad as we was travelling with checked luggage, is this true? as this is the first time I been told this, I have traveled many times before and never had no issues traveling without my checked luggage, I even had airlines drop it off for me if the checked baggage did not make the connecting flight.
