I'm sure the next one will be no different.

(PS And like others I was regularly stranded by Air Canada for more than 24 hours, even as a perpetual Super Elite. Often times I had to fix the problem myself because it seemed completely beyond Air Canada's ability to make even small adjustments or accommodations to improve things. Things like claiming that I couldn't depart from a different airport during a hurricane because Portland, ME was more than 500 miles from Boston, MA. The was one of the last incidents before I stopped flying Air Canada. Here's one of the first: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-canada-aeroplan/16857-show-me-button.htmlIn between there are a million others.)


"More than 500 miles."
