WS275 didn't fly over the U.S. last night...
I noticed my flight from Halifax took a bit longer than usual last night. Turns out the plane stayed in Canadian airspace the entire time rather than flying over the U.S. as it usually does. Any ideas why this might have been?
I noticed that the delayed WS250 coming to YHZ from YYZ did fly over the U.S. around the same time we took off and other flights that day from Westjet and AC took the normal route as well, which just adds to the mystery. Is it possible there was someone or something on board that would have restricted the plane from entering U.S. airspace?

Here's the flight track, showing the very clear detour around Maine.
