So now what? 423 and 427 absolutely out of the question?

There's still the last VIA Rail (No. 669) train departing at 1855 from Dorval!
427 it’s all that’s left, there’s a 7055 at 20:30 showing as cancelled above the desk near gate 1.

Then again, this is AC not NH or SQ where staff are extremely proactive

Yeah thing is didn’t know what was happening until in flight. Could have tried wifi and Skype I guess.

Thanks I did get this but they ignored me. I also got an email from LX on landing (I have many emails from LX) saying I’m on the 5am tomorrow.

Edit: You're number 5 on the J list, and I actually think there's a reasonable chance you'd clear, because there are no revenue passengers on standby.

Though you may end up in Y.

Edit 2: 6 cleared eUpgrades, and no space to handle IRROPS. Sigh.
At this point I’d take Y. I couldn’t see myself and there were 5 pax. But maybe it was just slow.

I don’t fancy my chances of getting a LX hotel and I’d only be there until about 2-3am. I did get a tiny amount of sleep on the plane.

If I make it... I’ll be just over 3h late. And then will be starting to dig into if EC261 applies as LX sent me details in their texts that refers to them doing it despite not being EU. And given my friends BA flight got in 1h late ... and it’s ZRH in Jan I don’t see weather being an extraordinary circumstance.

Then again, you can now claim credit card travel insurance (if you have one) and possibly EU261......

I just read $$$$$$$$
Who knows. AC indicted it was “just over there” with a dismissive wave 4 people ago.

I have a credit card, I paid the taxes on it. One person said not covered, when I rang back another said it was. I may put that to test tho it’s a $250 limit which won’t cover the hotel right here. But would give me 4h to shower and crash I guess.

They're manually clearing non-revs out of order on 427. How peculiar.

A bunch of people didn't check in for Y. PDM runs in 2 minutes and will clear you unless they continue to process non-revs manually.

@jc94

Well, if you're hungry, you can always have your toenails for dinner.

(I'd offer you mine but someone else enjoyed them)
Plumber and flyquiet like this.

I guess it goes by what you're ticketed in? That's the only J perk you'll get on this flight!

Do I get fed with that ML*2?

i don’t need food, it would just amuse me to get it when no one around me does. I’m evil I know.

So, €300 right unless they get me into YYZ before 9:30. But even then I got into YUL over 3h late. With LX I assume regardless.

And that’s before we get into my motley collection of BPs, texts and emails and all

I meant pilots, or FOs. Uniformed people who fly planes.

Its nasty in the back here. Not flown Y in a while. I’m such a RCHHMP.

And I try to help people but ...

Right. Sorry I was fixated on your Zone 1 as a Y-confirmed FOTSG in ticketed J.

Yeah, it seems to go by the fare basis code these days.

ML*2 means you were standby. You do not get fed in Y.
