I guess YTZ to YUL or YOW escape today fares no better.

We tried to do OLCI last night, but were unable to complete the check in due to document check required. Was at the airport at 05:00 but all kiosks were down at that point and there were hundreds of people in line.

Finally made it to DTW where we missed our connection to BOS.

Next is a BOS-SNN mileage run on a separate ticket that we are trying to salvage.

AC at Buffalo, NY, USA (BUF)

Am sitting in the USAirways Club at BUF and an AC aircraft (looks like a 319) just landed. Anyone know what is going on? It's generating lots of chatter and curiousity. Hope it's just a weather diversion and not an emergency diversion. Limited international flights into BUF so not sure if they'll be able to get off the plane if there are no border services officers on duty.

These were inbound to YYZ (from YOW, YXE, MCO), not inbound to YUL.

Lousy Airport, Incompetent Management and Useless Airline.


Our Flight Status tool is experiencing an unusually high volume of inquiries. For this reason, if your itinerary includes one or more connecting flights, we kindly ask that you conduct a separate flight status search for your departing flight and each connecting flight included in your itinerary.

E.g. If you are flying from Montreal to Vancouver with a connecting flight in Toronto, please enter:

Montreal and Toronto as your search criteria to get the flight status of your departing flight, and
Toronto and Vancouver as your search criteria to get the flight status of your connecting flight.

ah yes, these were early this morning.

Looks like AC661 you mentioned was first diverted to YYZ, and then told, sorry we cant take you either :P

Now, YYZ seems fogged down, and planes are going to SYR,CLE,BUF

add AA3628, now in BUF after making a few circles

WS 2773 from POS to SYR
US3360 from CLT to CLE

Toronto Pearson Int'l (CYYZ) is currently experiencing all inbound flights being held at their origin until Saturday at 12:30PM EST due to fog.

I'm sitting in YTS now trying to connect YYZ to YOW. I think it'll be a long day.
