Now add that to a 9-hour delay, and presto! likely 12 to 13 hours.
She was at the airport 1 hours drive from her aunts to YVR, 2.5 hours prior to take off. flight time of 1.5 hours, 7 hour delay, 30 minutes for baggage, 1 hours drive home from YEG. = 13.5 hours. From her aunts house it is an 11.5 hour drive with a stop for gas.
