YUL was a gong show last night, made a tight connection in YYZ from SJO (in J), YYZ-YUL flight was held about 30 minutes for connecting pax and crew so we thought our luggage had a chance to make it. Got to YUL at 2300, luggage area was filled with pax waiting hours for their luggage, the luggage on the belts was not being picked up. Gave up at 130AM, baggage services said some YYZ bags were still outside and that our luggage had made the connection. Said there were only two half-crews servicing the aircraft (don't know if that was for domestic only or whole airport). Might as well tell people to go home at that point.
I thought I would pay good money for a service where the airline delivers the bags in next 1-2 days instead of wasting time at the airport, especially on the return home.
