March 3 -- Snowstorm Cancellations
Just sitting here in Calgary Maple Leaf Lounge waiting for next flight (first cancelled due to snow/mechanical?) and noticed this news release--our snowstorm is headed your way. Maybe other airlines will be affected. A little unusual to cancel in advance though? Hope the weatherman is right or there will be very irate travellers (even more so than if there was a storm).
