i'm guessing since they are cancelling California, Vegas and Florida, they expect YYZ to be an excrement spectacle for the return flights. I don't get HNL cancellation, though.

It doesn't look like it's got anything to do with destination since every flight after 2pm is cancelled. And yes, we know YYZ doesn't handle snow near as well as the hearty crew at YSC!

Hopefully all of the proactive cancellations will allow them to get things back on track faster once the storm passes, which btw, based on how it's materializing would make just getting to YYZ a dangerous odyssey for PAX, Crew and Airport Employees with conditions worsening through the day.

056/25 out of YYZ tonight is cancelled. That would have been your aircraft.

You're in DXB, hub to the world, surely you can find some connection to get back to Canada, although I wouldn't suggest YYZ for the next couple of days lol!

I that case, get comfortable...there's going to be quite the backlog to clear. While you wait you should review in detail what they've done to the MM program and then decide if it's still worth it.

Got the email and update for the meal voucher and hotel voucher. Also rushed with standby on to an earlier flight into YUL. It looks like the voucher kicks on after the first leg is boarded as well. I got both within minutes

Very very happy as a frequent flyer with AC, another reason why i often pay the 25% premium.

The only minor issue was that AC WiFi doesn't believe i am on this flight lol, maybe my standby cleared too late. Ended up paying 800 pts for wifi, small peas in the grand scheme of things.

Other than that guess it will be awhile before i can get my 737 Max post card.

Anyone have experience with weather IRROPS affecting a *A carrier (TP in my case) on an Aeroplan award ticket? <48 hour. Am an SE if that matters/helps.
Curious if TP cancels, will AC be able to rebook on any inventory e.g. UA or will AC only be able to use TP award inventory or something else? I assume TP can rebook if they can take over the ticket?

When I had an AC award ticket that were impacted by irrops, the AP agent was able to put me in any AC flight, even those without award inventory in the same fare class.

So I suspect AC inventory would be available to you but unlikely others

Any flights through DEL?

Or Europe?
You could use the time "saved" getting home a day or two earlier, for a mileage run later in the year.

Pictures were from the Transborder flights...no?

Has AC cancelled everything out of YYZ, including TATL?
